Based on a modified Yang Xin Tang, this ten-herb formula combines Heart and Spleen Qi-tonifying herbs with Blood-nourishing, Blood-invigorating, Shen-calming, and channel-warming agents to address both the root Heart Qi deficiency and the Blood stagnation and Shen disturbance that arise from Heart Qi failing to move Blood through the Heart channel. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard capsules, standard powder, and whitefish-flavored tincture. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

What It Supports

  • Heart Qi tonification: Tonifies Heart and Spleen Qi to address the root Qi deficiency underlying Heart channel weakness and Blood stagnation patterns.
  • Blood invigoration: Invigorates Blood and resolves Blood stagnation in the Heart channel, addressing the stagnation that arises from Heart Qi deficiency failing to move Blood.
  • Shen calming: Calms and nourishes the Shen to address the Shen disturbance and restlessness associated with Heart Qi deficiency and Blood stagnation.
  • Channel warming: Warms the Heart channel and disperses Cold obstruction to support smooth Qi and Blood flow through the Heart and chest channels.
  • Spleen support: Tonifies Spleen Qi to support the generation of Qi and Blood and sustain the formula's Heart Qi-tonifying action.

TCVM Principles

  • Primary action: Tonify Heart Qi and invigorate Blood.
  • Contraindication: Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency. Heart Qi Tonic is a warming, Yang-tonifying formula; use in Yin-deficient patients may aggravate Heat and Shen disturbance.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Heart Qi Tonic is a ten-herb formula combining Heart and Spleen Qi-tonifying herbs with Blood-nourishing, Blood-invigorating, Shen-calming, and channel-warming agents to address Heart Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation:

  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, strengthens Wei Qi, and supports the generation of Qi and Blood; the primary Qi-tonifying herb providing the foundation for the formula's Heart Qi tonification.
  • Dang Shen (Codonopsis pilosula), Codonopsis root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi and nourishes Blood; works with Huang Qi as the primary Qi-tonifying pair, supporting the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood to nourish the Heart.
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia), Cinnamon bark: Warms the Kidney and Heart Yang, disperses Cold, and invigorates Blood flow through the channels; the primary channel-warming herb addressing Cold obstruction in the Heart channel and supporting Yang within the Qi-tonifying base. Note: this formula is contraindicated in Yin deficiency due in part to the warming nature of Rou Gui.
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, supports smooth Blood flow through the Heart channel, and addresses the Blood deficiency component alongside the Qi-tonifying herbs.
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Sichuan lovage rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and unblocks the channels; the primary Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving herb addressing Blood stagnation in the Heart channel arising from Heart Qi deficiency.
  • Bai Zi Ren (Biota orientalis), Biota seed: Nourishes Heart Blood and Yin, calms the Shen, and quiets the spirit; the primary Shen-calming and Heart Blood-nourishing herb, addressing the Shen disturbance associated with Heart Qi deficiency and Blood stagnation.
  • Yuan Zhi (Polygala tenuifolia), Polygala root: Calms the Shen, quiets the spirit, opens the Heart orifice, and transforms Phlegm; works with Bai Zi Ren as the primary Shen-calming pair and addresses any Phlegm component obstructing the Heart orifice.
  • Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra chinensis), Schisandra berry: Nourishes Heart Yin and Blood, astringes Essence, calms the Shen, and generates fluids; supports the Shen-calming herbs and astringes the Heart Qi to prevent further Qi leakage.
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos), Poria mushroom: Tonifies Spleen Qi, calms the Shen, and drains Dampness; supports the Spleen Qi-tonifying herbs and contributes to the formula's Shen-calming action while preventing Dampness accumulation from the tonifying herbs.
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), Licorice root: Tonifies Qi, moderates and harmonizes the actions of the other herbs, and supports the Spleen; the formula's harmonizing herb, moderating the more warming and invigorating herbs and supporting the Qi-tonifying base.

Potential Drug Interactions

Heart Qi Tonic contains Qi-tonifying herbs (Huang Qi, Dang Shen, Fu Ling) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs (Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui) and channel-warming herbs (Rou Gui) that may interact with certain medications. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency. 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 cardiac medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Heart Qi Tonic used for in TCVM?

Heart Qi Tonic is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Heart Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation, where insufficient Heart Qi fails to move Blood through the Heart channel, leading to Blood stagnation, Shen disturbance, and signs of Heart channel weakness. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with cardiovascular patterns rooted in Heart Qi deficiency, or systemic signs of Qi deficiency with Blood stagnation affecting the Heart. Do not use in patients with Yin deficiency.

How is Heart Qi Tonic administered, and what are the recommended doses?

Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, with the small scoop holding approximately 0.4g and the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For the whitefish-flavored tincture, the dose for small dogs and cats is 10 drops per 5 to 10 lbs of body weight twice daily, with each full dropper holding approximately 20 drops; store refrigerated for best results. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months.

Why is Heart Qi Tonic contraindicated in Yin deficiency?

Heart Qi Tonic is a warming, Yang-tonifying formula built on Qi-tonifying herbs (Huang Qi, Dang Shen) and channel-warming herbs (Rou Gui). In patients with Yin deficiency, the warming and Yang-tonifying nature of the formula can aggravate the existing Yin deficiency, generate additional Heat, and worsen Shen disturbance and restlessness. Patients with Yin deficiency and Shen disturbance are better served by Yin-nourishing and Shen-calming formulas such as Heart Yin Tonic. Your holistic veterinarian will assess your pet's specific pattern to determine whether Heart Qi Tonic or a Yin-nourishing formula is the most appropriate choice.

Can Heart Qi Tonic be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Heart Qi Tonic is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Heart and cardiovascular support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly cardiac or anticoagulant medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Heart Qi Tonic is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.

An absolute miracle herb

Heart Qi Tonic has been an absolute godsend for our elderly chihuahua since she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She is more than 2 years past her 6-month prognosis thanks to this product. So grateful for our competent vet who knew how to properly dose this product for our sweet 16 princess.

Costly and Did not seem to help the issue

I wanted it to help so much, but I didn’t notice a change. I have a personal long history with TCM and love TCM, and yet I think three are some times when herbs are still not addressing the root cause and therefore they don’t offer anything except a hope.
