Patients who say that they would like to urinate or defecate when they are nervous or stressed?

 

The heart governs sweating, urination, and defecating (refer to dipersion thirst part 消渴門 in 東醫寶鑑). When you are nervous or stressed, diarrhea occurs because the heart is not in good condition. In this case, use Zi yin jian pi tang 滋陰建脾湯 or  Gui pi tang歸脾湯. The anus is the pathway of qi. If the heart and mind are not at ease and you want to have diarrhea, you need to nourish yin and strengthen the spleen or calm the mind. When you are nervous, leading to dribbling , this is enuresis, and shen qi tang 蔘芪湯  will be helpful. (jisan)
