Active Ingredient TCVM Actions
Wei Qi Booster combines a Qi and Blood-tonifying base with Heat-clearing, toxin-resolving, and Qi-moving herbs to strengthen defensive energy and support immune resilience:
- Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus root: The chief herb; strongly tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, raises Wei Qi, and strengthens the body's defensive energy and immune function
- Dang Shen (Codonopsis pilosula) - Codonopsis root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, supports energy production, and strengthens the digestive foundation for Qi and Blood generation
- Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, promotes circulation, and supports the Blood component of immune and defensive function
- Bai Hua She She Cao (Oldenlandia diffusa) - Spreading hedyotis: Clears Heat, resolves toxins, and supports the body's natural immune defenses; a key herb for Heat toxin patterns
- Ban Zhi Lian (Scutellaria barbata) - Barbat skullcap: Clears Heat, resolves toxins, invigorates Blood, and reduces swelling; works with Bai Hua She She Cao as a classic Heat-toxin-clearing pair
- Xuan Shen (Scrophularia ningpoensis) - Figwort root: Nourishes Yin, clears Heat, cools Blood, and resolves toxins, supporting the formula's Heat-clearing action while protecting Yin from the tonifying herbs
- Chen Pi (Citrus reticulata) - Tangerine peel: Regulates Qi, dries Dampness, and prevents the tonifying herbs from causing Qi stagnation or Damp accumulation
- Wu Yao (Lindera aggregata) - Lindera root: Moves Qi, warms the Kidney, and disperses cold from the lower Jiao, supporting smooth Qi flow through the formula
Potential Drug Interactions
Wei Qi Booster contains Qi-tonifying and immune-modulating herbs (Huang Qi, Dang Shen) alongside Heat-clearing and Blood-moving herbs (Bai Hua She She Cao, Ban Zhi Lian, Dang Gui) that may interact with certain medications. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include immunosuppressive medications, chemotherapy agents, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions is Wei Qi Booster used for in TCVM?
Wei Qi Booster is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Qi and Blood deficiency affecting the body's defensive energy and immune resilience. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with chronic immune weakness, reduced vitality, or susceptibility to illness rooted in Wei Qi deficiency. It is not appropriate for patients with Excess Heat patterns such as acute inflammation, active infection, or high fever. Your veterinarian will confirm whether this formula is appropriate following a TCVM evaluation. Wei Qi Booster is also commonly used alongside Stasis Breaker as part of a comprehensive immune support protocol.
How is Wei Qi Booster administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. General guidelines for dogs and cats are 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily for powder and capsule formats. For teapills, the guideline is 1 to 2 pills per 10 lbs of body weight twice daily. For horses, the standard dose is 10 to 20g twice daily as a top dressing on feed. The 600g powder jar includes a double-sided scoop; the large scoop holds approximately 7g, and the small scoop holds approximately 2g. Use as needed for up to 6 months.
How long does it take to see results with Wei Qi Booster?
Response time varies by individual, the severity of the Qi and Blood deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in energy, vitality, and immune resilience within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. You may use the formula as needed for up to 6 months. We recommend regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.
Can Wei Qi Booster be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?
Wei Qi Booster is often used alongside other TCVM formulas, including Stasis Breaker, as part of a comprehensive immune support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly immunosuppressants, chemotherapy agents, or anticoagulants, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Wei Qi Booster is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Do not use in patients with Excess Heat patterns such as acute inflammation, active infection, or high fever.
