Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Rehmannia Eight Combination is built on a precise 3-3-2 structure: three Yin tonics, three moving and draining herbs, and two warming Yang herbs. This balance allows the formula to tonify without cloying and warm without drying.

  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, prepared) - Prepared Rehmannia Root: The chief herb; nourishes Kidney Yin and Blood with an overall warming effect; the primary Yin tonic in this formula
  • Shan Yao (Dioscorea opposita) - Chinese Yam Rhizome: Tonifies Spleen, Lung, and Kidney Qi; astringes Essence to help avoid dryness in the Kidneys, Lung, and Middle Burner
  • Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus officinalis) - Asiatic Cornelian Cherry / Cornus Fruit: Nourishes Liver Blood and Yin, warms and astringes Kidney Essence leakage, and supports healthy urinary function
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos) - Poria / Hoelen: Provides gentle Spleen support and leaches Damp from the Middle Burner where Shan Yao acts; balances the cloying effect of the Yin tonics
  • Ze Xie (Alisma plantago-aquatica) - Asian Water Plantain Rhizome: Promotes urination, drains Damp Heat from the lower burner, and assists the Bladder in water transportation
  • Mu Dan Pi (Paeonia suffruticosa, root bark) - Tree Peony Root Bark: Clears Heat accumulating in the Liver secondary to stasis; balances the warming action of Rou Gui and Zhi Fu Zi
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia, bark) - Chinese Cinnamon Bark: Warms Kidney Yang, disperses Cold in the Lower Burner, and assists the Bladder in water transportation
  • Zhi Fu Zi (Aconitum carmichaelii, prepared) - Prepared Aconite Root: Strongly warms Kidney Yang and dispels Cold in the Lower Burner; prepared form is used to reduce toxicity while preserving warming action

Potential Drug Interactions

Rehmannia Eight Combination contains several potent Chinese herbs, including warming Yang tonics (notably prepared Aconite root) and Yin-nourishing herbs with known cardiovascular, renal, and endocrine 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 acute renal inflammation.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving cardiac medications, diuretics, urinary medications, thyroid medications, medications for blood sugar regulation, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Rehmannia Eight Combination is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I noticed, on the back of the bottle, it states to evaporate alcohol place drops in hot water. How much hot water? Do I place all 5-10 drops in hot water, let cool, then place in my cat's food? I concerned about the alcohol. My cat has stage 2 kidney disease and will be taking Gabapentin. Is this safe to use with the Gabapentin?

    Thank you for your question!

    We are not aware of any interactions with Gabapentin. However, we recommend checking with your vet to make sure this herbal formula is appropriate for your kitty's situation and medical condition. 

    While the herbal extracts can be given as-is, we recommend the following strategies to make them more palatable. 

    Here are a couple of those strategies: 

    1) Add water or broth to the herbal extract. 

    2) Small doses can be hidden in canned food or ground meat

    3) If your pet takes pills, you can add the herbal extract to a capsule. 

    4) Simmer the extract in a pan on very low heat to evaporate off the alcohol. Initially, the aroma of alcohol will be strong - once it becomes barely detectable, remove the liquid from the heat and replace it in the bottle. Then, refrigerate the bottle.

    We hope these ideas help increase the palatability of herbal extracts for your pet!

  • Is this product safe for a dog with Insulinoma?

    Thank you for your question! While our vets haven't experienced any negative effects of using this product with insulinoma, we recommend checking with your vet who knows your pet's individual case best. If you don't have a vet, we recommend getting a consultation with one of our vets.

  • Is this product safe for a dog in renal failure?

    Thank you for your question! I'm sorry to hear your dog is struggling with renal failure. Rehmannia Eight can help support the kidneys and restore Kidney Yin energy. This product is safe and can be used in renal failure, but we recommend checking with your vet to make sure you're using the appropriate herbal formula for your dog's specific characteristics.

  • What is the dosage per dogs body weight?

    Hi! Thank you for your question!

    Vets usually choose a dose in that range 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.
