What are the symptoms of constipation due to damp-heat?

Damp-heat constipation typically presents with symptoms such as dry, hard stools, dry mouth, and bad breath, primarily due to intestinal heat accumulation, injury of body fluids, and subsequent stool impaction. Hemp Seed Pill (Mazi Ren Wan) can be used for regulation, as it functions to moisten the intestines, clear heat, promote qi movement, and relieve constipation. Its main ingredients include rhubarb, immature bitter orange (zhishi), and magnolia bark to purge the bowels and clear heat; hemp seed, apricot kernel, and white honey to moisten the intestines and facilitate defecation; and peony root to nourish yin and harmonize the nutritive system. If hemorrhoids with rectal bleeding occur, sophora flower (huaihua) and sanguisorba (diyu) may be added to clear intestinal heat and stop bleeding. Patients are advised to engage in appropriate exercise regularly to enhance their overall disease resistance.
