Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata and Radix Angelicae Sinensis are effective in regulating constipation caused by fluid injury or blood deficiency and intestinal dryness, but are not suitable for all types of constipation.

The two are used together to improve constipation caused by fluid damage or blood deficiency and intestinal dryness.
