Kan Essentials Bupleurum and Kudzu Clearing Formula (Jia Wei Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang)

Kan Essentials Bupleurum and Kudzu Clearing Formula (Jia Wei Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang) is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula formulated to resolve Wind Cold invasion that transforms to Wind Heat as it passes from the Tai Yang to the Yang Ming or from the Wei to the Qi level, with a strong cooling action that addresses Heat lodged in the muscles, joints, and nerves along the back. Recommended by holistic veterinarians, this formula disperses Wind from all three exterior Yang layers (Tai Yang, Yang Ming, and Shao Yang) and extends its Wind-expelling effect to the low back and Lower Burner through the addition of Pubescent Angelica Root. Available in liquid and tablet forms. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Neck, back, and joint comfort: Addresses occasional neck and back discomfort, muscle and joint irritation, and stiffness of extremities by clearing Heat lodged in the muscles, joints, and nerves along the back
  • Nervous system and spinal support: Supports a healthy nervous system and spinal cord; addresses occasional loss of balance, tremors, and muscle twitches associated with Wind invasion and Heat in the channels
  • Wind Heat clearing: Resolves Wind Cold invasion transforming to Wind Heat across all three exterior Yang layers with a strong cooling action; addresses increased thirst, dry nasal passages, eye redness, and restlessness
  • Full-body Wind expulsion: Extends Wind-expelling action from the Upper Burner to the low back and Lower Burner through the addition of Pubescent Angelica Root, making this formula effective for Wind invasion affecting the entire spine and back

TCVM Principles

  • Primary action: Resolves Wind Cold invasion transforming to Wind Heat, disperses Wind from all three exterior Yang layers, and addresses Heat lodged in the muscles, joints, and nerves along the back
  • Pattern addressed: Wind Cold invasion transforming to Wind Heat as it passes from the Tai Yang to the Yang Ming or from the Wei to the Qi level; not recommended for animals with Cold patterns or Yin deficiency - consult your TCVM veterinarian to confirm the appropriate pattern diagnosis
  • Approach: Uses cool pungent herbs to disperse Wind from each of the three exterior Yang layers - Ge Gen and Qiang Huo for the Tai Yang, Bai Shao to regulate the Wei layer pores, Sheng Shi Gao and Bai Zhi for the Yang Ming and Qi layer, Huang Qin and Jie Geng for the Upper Burner, and Chai Hu for the Shao Yang - with Du Huo added to extend Wind-expelling action to the low back and Lower Burner; increased amounts of Chai Hu, Qiang Huo, and Bai Shao enhance Wind-expelling effect and relieve stagnation

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Bupleurum and Kudzu Clearing Formula uses cool pungent herbs to disperse Wind from each of the three exterior Yang layers, with each herb assigned to a specific channel layer or Burner. Pubescent Angelica Root is the key addition that extends the formula's Wind-expelling action from the Upper Burner to the low back and Lower Burner.

  • Chai Hu (Bupleurum chinense) - Bupleurum Root / Chinese Thoroughwax: The lone herb to push invasions of the Shao Yang layer all the way back out to the body periphery; used in increased amounts compared to the original formula to enhance Wind-expelling effect
  • Du Huo (Angelica pubescens) - Pubescent Angelica Root / Hairy Angelica: The key addition to the original formula; extends the Wind-expelling effect to the low back and Lower Burner, making this formula effective for Wind invasion affecting the entire spine and back
  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis) - Chinese Skullcap Root / Baical Skullcap: Adds a cooling effect on the Upper Burner and directs the formula upward; clears Heat from the Qi level as Wind Cold transforms to Wind Heat
  • Ge Gen (Pueraria lobata) - Kudzu Root / Pueraria Root: Expels Wind from the Tai Yang layer; releases the muscles and generates fluids to address increased thirst and dry nasal passages associated with Wind Heat
  • Bai Shao (Paeonia lactiflora, white) - White Peony Root: Regulates the pores in the Tai Yang or Wei layer to control the opening and closing of the exterior; used in increased amounts to enhance Wind-expelling effect and relieve stagnation
  • Qiang Huo (Notopterygium incisum) - Notopterygium Root and Rhizome / Qiang Huo: Expels Wind from the Tai Yang layer; used in increased amounts to enhance the formula's Wind-expelling effect; particularly effective for Wind invasion in the upper body and back
  • Hong Zao (Ziziphus jujuba, red fruit) - Red Jujube Fruit: Promotes digestion of the formula and assists in building up Blood and Nutritive Qi to resist further entry of Wind invasion; supports the Stomach Qi alongside Gan Jiang and Gan Cao
  • Sheng Shi Gao (Gypsum fibrosum, raw) - Raw Gypsum / Calcium Sulfate: Expels invasions from the Qi layer and the Yang Ming channels; strongly clears Heat and addresses the transformation of Wind Cold to Wind Heat at the Yang Ming level
  • Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica) - Fragrant Angelica Root / Dahurian Angelica: Expels invasions from the Qi layer and the Yang Ming channels; works with Sheng Shi Gao to address Yang Ming level Heat
  • Jie Geng (Platycodon grandiflorum) - Platycodon Root / Balloon Flower Root: Directs the formula to the Upper Burner; works with Huang Qin to focus the formula's cooling and Wind-expelling action on the upper body
  • Gan Jiang (Zingiber officinale, dried) - Dried Ginger Rhizome: Promotes digestion of the formula and assists in building up Blood and Nutritive Qi; harmonizes the Middle Burner to support absorption of the formula's cooling herbs
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Chinese Licorice Root: Tonifies Stomach Qi and harmonizes the herbs in the formula; promotes digestion and supports the formula's main Wind-expelling and cooling action

Potential Drug Interactions

Bupleurum and Kudzu Clearing Formula contains several potent Chinese herbs, including strongly cooling, Wind-expelling, and Heat-clearing herbs (notably raw Gypsum and Chinese Skullcap Root) with known anti-inflammatory, musculoskeletal, and nervous system activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision. Avoid use in animals with Cold patterns or Yin deficiency.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving NSAIDs, neurological medications, immunosuppressive drugs, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Bupleurum and Kudzu Clearing Formula is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.
