Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Six Gentle Pets combines two classical formulas: Er Chen Tang and Four Gentlemen Decoction (Si Jun Zi Tang). Each herb is selected for its specific role in transforming Phlegm, tonifying Spleen and Lung Qi, and draining Dampness to provide comprehensive digestive and respiratory support.

  • Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) - White Atractylodes Rhizome: Tonifies Spleen Qi, dries Dampness, and assists the Spleen in transforming food into fundamental substances to prevent Damp and Phlegm production; a key herb from Four Gentlemen Decoction
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos) - Poria / Hoelen: Leaches out accumulated Damp, strengthens Spleen, and supports healthy fluid metabolism; addresses Damp that has already accumulated while further supporting Spleen function
  • Jiang Ban Xia (Pinellia ternata, ginger-cured) - Ginger-Cured Pinellia Rhizome: Transforms Phlegm, descends rebellious Stomach Qi, and relieves occasional nausea, indigestion, and bloating; one of the two Er Chen Tang herbs in this formula
  • Bai Ren Shen (Panax ginseng, white) - White Asian Ginseng Root and Rhizome: A potent Qi tonic; tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, supports overall vitality, and assists the Spleen in transforming food into fundamental substances; a key herb from Four Gentlemen Decoction
  • Chen Pi (Citrus reticulata, peel) - Tangerine Dried Rind / Tangerine Peel: Regulates Qi, dries Dampness, and works together with Jiang Ban Xia to transform Phlegm and descend Stomach Qi; one of the two Er Chen Tang herbs in this formula
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Chinese Licorice Root: Tonifies Stomach Qi, moderates the actions of other herbs, and harmonizes the formula

Potential Drug Interactions

Six Gentle Pets contains several potent Chinese herbs, including Qi-tonifying and Phlegm-transforming herbs with known effects on digestive and immune function. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving immunosuppressive drugs, corticosteroids, gastrointestinal medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Six Gentle Pets is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.
