By Marcus Koll

The fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine were developed in excess of 3,000 years ago. Usage of the TCM principle continues to grow worldwide to this day. The basic premise of TCM is balance. If balance is not established then there can be a disturbance in the human organs and illness can result. The goal of TCM has been and still is to achieve and maintain that balance with acupuncture, massage, herbs and natural foods. For this writing we will not get into the details, but balance is qi and it is controlled by the forces of life called yin and yang. They are competing elements depicted by heaven and earth, warmth and cold, dry and wet, and etc.

One of the early and basic fundamentals of TCM dealt with constipation. If the human the body was not in balance, constipation could be one of the results. That fundamental also suggested that continued constipation may be a cause of premature aging and death. It results from the bowel not being properly cleansed during protracted constipation. The basic fundamentals of TCM suggest that waste retained in the bowel may lead to colon cancer, Alzheimer's, skin blemishes and more.

For thousands of years natural plants have been used to treat constipation and return the body to balance. There are several herbs well-known over centuries of consumption to be the most beneficial. The increased application of TCM instigated a growing increase in trying several groupings and dosages of the traditional herbs. The results in many instances have been extremely constructive.
