What It Supports
- Normal digestion: Provides veterinarian-directed herbal support for dogs, cats, and horses.
- Occasional loose stool: Wu Mei and He Zi contribute traditional intestinal-astringing actions that support stool consistency.
- Heat-clearing support: Huang Lian traditionally clears Heat and Damp-Heat within a veterinarian-identified TCVM digestive pattern.
- Complementary herbal actions: Combines Heat clearing with intestinal astringing rather than relying on either approach alone.
TCVM Principles
- Primary actions: Clear Heat, detoxify, support normal digestion, and help with occasional loose stool. Detoxification here describes a traditional TCVM action.
- Classical antecedent: Mume Formula or Wu Mei San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng’s Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608.
- Contraindications: None listed in the supplied manufacturer information. Your veterinarian should still assess individual suitability.
- Warning: Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop, and contact your veterinarian.
Available Forms
- 90g Concentrated Powder: Highly concentrated granule format; mix into food for easy daily administration.
Suggested Use
- Concentrated Powder (90g), Dogs and Cats: Give ½ to 1 small scoop per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. One level small scoop holds approximately 0.25g, so ½ to 1 small scoop provides approximately 0.125g to 0.25g.
- Concentrated Powder (90g), Horses: Give 2½ large scoops (3g) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. One level large scoop holds approximately 1.2g.
These directions apply to the concentrated powder offered in this listing. Your authorizing veterinarian will select the appropriate dose and duration of use. Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop, and contact your veterinarian. Persistent or worsening loose stool needs veterinary assessment rather than continued supplementation alone.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions
Mume Formula combines a Heat-clearing layer from Huang Lian with intestinal-astringing support from Wu Mei and He Zi. These complementary actions reflect its traditional focus on digestive Heat patterns accompanied by occasional loose stool.
- He Zi (Terminalia chebula) - Terminalia fruit: Traditionally astringes the Intestines and descends Lung Qi. Its astringing action complements Wu Mei’s role in supporting stool consistency.
- Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis) - Coptis rhizome: Traditionally clears Heat, dries Dampness, drains Fire, and resolves toxicity. It supplies the formula’s primary Heat-clearing and Damp-Heat clearing actions.
- Wu Mei (Prunus mume) - Mume plum fruit: Traditionally astringes the Intestines, generates fluids, and astringes Lung Qi. The formula’s namesake herb contributes intestinal-astringing support alongside He Zi.
Potential Drug Interactions
Jing Tang Mume Formula contains the berberine-containing herb Huang Lian and astringing botanicals He Zi and Wu Mei. Animals taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses is limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include blood-glucose-lowering medications, immunosuppressive medications, antibiotics, and multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian should determine whether any medication timing adjustments are needed. Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal’s condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Jing Tang Mume Formula support?
Mume Formula supports normal digestion and helps with occasional loose stool in dogs, cats, and horses. Within TCVM, its actions are to clear Heat and detoxify while providing intestinal-astringing support. Your veterinarian can determine whether this approach matches your animal’s digestive pattern.
How is the concentrated powder administered and dosed?
Mix the powder into food or feed. For dogs and cats, give ½ to 1 small scoop per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. One level small scoop holds approximately 0.25g, making this approximately 0.125g to 0.25g per dose for that body-weight range. For horses, give 2½ large scoops (3g) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. One level large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. Use for the duration recommended by your veterinarian.
What should I do if loose stool becomes worse?
Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop, and contact your veterinarian. Although the manufacturer lists no contraindications, this does not mean the formula is appropriate for every animal or every cause of loose stool. Persistent or worsening digestive signs need veterinary assessment.
How does Mume Formula differ from a digestive formula focused on warming or tonifying?
Mume Formula combines Heat clearing with intestinal-astringing actions. Warming or tonifying formulas may instead address Cold or deficiency patterns. These approaches are not interchangeable simply because they all support digestion. Mume Formula’s classical antecedent is Wu Mei San from the equine veterinary text Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji, written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608. Your veterinarian can select the formula that matches your animal’s individual TCVM pattern.
