Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Hindquarter Weakness is an eight-herb formula combining Kidney Yang-tonifying and back-strengthening herbs with Blood-nourishing, channel-warming, and Qi-moving agents to address Kidney Qi and Yang deficiency with Qi stagnation in the back and hind limbs:

  • Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides), Eucommia bark: Tonifies Kidney and Liver Yang, strengthens the sinews and bones, and specifically benefits the lumbar region and lower limbs; the primary back-strengthening and Kidney Yang-tonifying herb and the formula's guiding herb to the lumbar and hind limb region.
  • Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis), Morinda root: Tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens the sinews and bones, and dispels Wind-Cold-Damp from the lower body; works with Du Zhong as the primary Kidney Yang-tonifying and back-strengthening pair.
  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, strengthens Wei Qi, and supports the generation of Qi and Blood to sustain the formula's tonifying action; the primary Qi-tonifying herb addressing the Qi deficiency component of the pattern.
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, prepared), Prepared rehmannia root: Powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood; provides the Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation to balance the Yang-tonifying herbs and nourish the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs.
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, moistens the sinews, and supports smooth Blood flow through the channels; supports Shu Di Huang in nourishing Blood and addresses the Blood deficiency component of the pattern.
  • Gui Zhi (Cinnamomum cassia), Cinnamon twig: Warms and unblocks the channels, disperses Wind-Cold, and invigorates Blood flow through the channels; addresses the Cold obstruction in the back and hind limb channels accompanying Kidney Yang deficiency.
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis), Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, hind limbs, and Kidney channel; the formula's primary guiding herb to the lower body and hind limbs.
  • Wu Yao (Lindera aggregata), Lindera root: Moves Qi, disperses Cold, and warms the Kidney and lower Jiao; the primary Qi-moving herb addressing the Qi stagnation component of the pattern and warming the Kidney and lower body channels alongside the Yang-tonifying herbs.

Potential Drug Interactions

Hindquarter Weakness contains Kidney Yang-tonifying herbs (Du Zhong, Ba Ji Tian) alongside Qi-tonifying herbs (Huang Qi), Blood-nourishing herbs (Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui), and channel-warming and Qi-moving herbs (Gui Zhi, Wu Yao, Chuan Niu Xi) 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 anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use as needed 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 Hindquarter Weakness used for in TCVM?

Hindquarter Weakness is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney Qi and Yang deficiency with Qi stagnation affecting the back and hind limbs, where Kidney deficiency has led to weakness, atrophy, or reduced function in the lumbar region and rear limbs. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with hind limb weakness, lumbar weakness, or musculoskeletal patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver deficiency affecting the lower body. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.

How is Hindquarter Weakness 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 or 180g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.3g and the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily as a top dressing on feed. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. 

Why does Hindquarter Weakness include both Yang-tonifying and Yin-nourishing herbs?

In TCVM, Kidney Yang and Kidney Yin are interdependent — Yang cannot be effectively tonified without a Yin and Blood foundation to sustain it, and Yin cannot be nourished without Yang to transform and circulate it. Hindquarter Weakness uses Du Zhong and Ba Ji Tian as the primary Yang-tonifying herbs, then includes Shu Di Huang and Dang Gui as the Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation. This balanced approach prevents the Yang-tonifying herbs from generating dryness or Heat, and ensures the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs receive adequate nourishment alongside the Yang support. This Yin-within-Yang formulation strategy is a hallmark of classical Kidney-tonifying formulas.

Can Hindquarter Weakness be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Hindquarter Weakness is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anticoagulant or hormone-modulating medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hindquarter Weakness is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan.

I do believe this supplement may have helped my Basil for a month or two, but I lost him on July 5th

Amazing results for my dog

The concentrated hindquarter weakness formula has produced really good results for my dog and we are only one week in thus far.

D, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about Jing Tang Hindquarter Weakness. I am excited to hear this success story because herbal formulas often take longer than a week to work due to their gentle nature. Thanks for your willingness to try Chinese herbs and for spreading the good news! - Sincerely, Samantha

I don’t feel there has been any help to his hindquarters

Hi Tracy! We are sorry to hear Hindquarter Weakness hasn't been helping! If you have been giving this herbal formula to your pet for awhile, please check with your vet if you haven't already done so. Often, herbal formulas need to be adjusted. There are hundreds of herbal formulas available, so it's really important your vet authorizes the most appropriate formula for the Eastern signs your pet is displaying in order for it to work properly. If you haven't been giving it very long, it's possible it may need more time to start working. Since herbs are gentle, they take awhile to reach maximum effectiveness (often a month after starting).

The pills work, however, my dog disliked the taste which I have to be created to masking the taste. Thank you
