With the accelerating process of population aging, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of functional constipation in the elderly has been paid more and more attention, and the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plays an irreplaceable role and advantage. The thought of “Neutralization” is the essence of Chinese traditional thought, and Chinese medicine, which was conceived in Chinese traditional culture, runs through the thought of “Neutralization” from theory to practice. The elderly are weak, and the causes of constipation are complicated. Most of the diseases are deficiency syndrome or healthy qi deficiency with pathogenic excess, and the main causes are deficiency of qi and blood, loss of body fluid and deficiency of spleen and kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine takes syndrome differentiation and treatment as the principle of treatment, and adopts the idea of “Neutralization” in treatment, sthing to achieve a yin-yang harmony, abundant qi and blood, balanced zang-fu organs, smooth flow of qi and smooth blood circulation.
