Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Each herb in Spleen Support Formula is selected for its specific role within the TCVM framework. Their combined actions tonify Spleen Qi and Yang, dry and drain Dampness, and warm the Middle Burner to address deficiency and Damp accumulation.

  • Ze Xie (Alisma plantago-aquatica) - Asian Water Plantain Rhizome: Drains Damp, promotes urination, and clears Heat from the lower burner to reduce Damp accumulation
  • Cang Zhu (Atractylodes lancea) - Cang-Zhu Atractylodes Rhizome / Gray Atractylodes: Strongly dries Dampness, strengthens Spleen, and expels Wind Damp; the primary Damp-drying herb in this formula
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia, bark) - Chinese Cinnamon Bark: Warms Kidney and Spleen Yang, disperses Cold, and unblocks the channels to address Yang deficiency and Cold-Damp patterns
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Chinese Licorice Root: Tonifies Spleen Qi, moderates the actions of other herbs, and harmonizes the formula
  • Gan Jiang (Zingiber officinale, dried) - Dried Ginger Rhizome: Warms the Middle Burner, disperses Cold, and supports Spleen and Stomach Yang to address Cold-Damp patterns
  • Hou Po (Magnolia officinalis, bark) - Magnolia Bark: Moves Qi, dries Dampness, transforms Phlegm, and addresses Qi stagnation and Damp accumulation in the Middle Burner
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos) - Poria / Hoelen: Strengthens Spleen, resolves Dampness, and supports healthy fluid metabolism; addresses Damp accumulation at its source
  • Xiao Tong Cao (Tetrapanax papyrifer) - Rice Paper Plant Pith: Promotes urination and drains Damp from the lower burner to support healthy urinary function

Potential Drug Interactions

Spleen Support Formula contains several potent Chinese herbs, including warming Yang-tonifying herbs and Damp-drying herbs with known effects on digestive and urinary function. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision. Use with caution during pregnancy and avoid in animals with symptoms of Heat.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving diuretics, gastrointestinal medications, corticosteroids, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Spleen Support Formula is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • My vet gave me Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan,. My cat is 1 point above normal value for T4 and have potential digestive issues, salivates. My other cat has full blown IBD with serious absorption issues and is now on prednisilone( he goes to a regular vet). I mentioned Wei Ling Tang to both and they were not familiar they were trained in Fl with Dr Xie. They are both very highly respected vets. I have read that the Wei Ling Tang really works for thyroid and is good to rebuild digestive wall. Is Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan just as effective?

    Thank you for your question! I'm sorry to hear your cats are dealing with digestive issues, but I am glad you're looking into alternatives to help them feel better. Our veterinarians are not familiar with Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan, but they looked it up and since it has similar actions and Chinese indications as Wei Ling Tang, they suspect it would have a comparable effect. However, we can't say for sure since we don't carry that product yet or use it in our clinics. However, we're always looking for new products to carry and try out, and we've passed the name of that formula to our product development and testing team! If you're interested in buying Spleen Support Formula (Wei Ling Tang) from us please request authorization from your vet here: https://tcvmpet.com/pages/get-an-authorization. Your vet can write in the name of the formula. Thank you for supporting Chinese Medicine!

  • I don't see dosage in description to see how many to order. Can you please advise? Thank you

    Hi, thank you for your question!

    Vets usually choose a dose based on individual characteristics, constitution, and symptoms. Dosing and duration depend on the weight of the animal and its condition.

    We recommend you contact your vet as the dosing and duration for the formula can vary from patient to patient.
