Not sure: Many of our medicines are derived from plants in our environment. If traditional chinese medicine means using some herbs with mild laxative effect (we still have these in our natural food stores!), more water intake, and perhaps a gentle enema, that seems reasonable. However, i can't see how acupuncture would aid. If this doesn't improve quickly, see your doctor: there may be a more serious cause.

Acupuncture: I have treated a couple of patients who were suffering from painful constipation (medication side effect). Both indicated that they had satisfactory bowel movements after auricular acupuncture.
