In traditional Chinese medicine, several herbs are used to treat intestinal adhesions.
Herbs like Rhubarb can promote bowel movements and relieve abdominal distension. It helps to clear heat and remove stasis in the intestines. Another herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza, is known for its blood - activating and stasis - removing functions. It can improve blood circulation around the affected intestinal area, which may reduce the degree of adhesion and inflammation.
Chinese herbal formulas also play an important role. For example, formulas with the function of regulating qi and activating blood, such as formulas containing Cyperus rotundus and Aucklandia lappa, can help to soothe the flow of qi in the abdomen and promote the resolution of adhesions. However, for severe cases of intestinal adhesions, traditional Chinese medicine treatment may be used in combination with surgical intervention to achieve better results.
