Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for patients with abdominal Blood stasis patterns, including Liver and Spleen Blood stasis presentations. Do not use during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Ge Xia Zhu Yu administered, and what are the recommended doses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing 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 capsule once daily is typical when that format is available. 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 0.3g and the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Wang Qing-Ren's Yi Lin Gai Cuo, and why are his Blood stasis formulas significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWang Qing-Ren (1768-1831) was a Chinese physician whose landmark text \u003cem\u003eYi Lin Gai Cuo\u003c\/em\u003e (Corrections of Errors Among Physicians, 1830) revolutionized the understanding and treatment of Blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Wang Qing-Ren developed five celebrated Blood stasis formulas, each targeting Blood stasis in a specific anatomical region: Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (chest and upper body), Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang (below the diaphragm), Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (lower abdomen), Tong Qiao Huo Xue Tang (head and sensory orifices), and Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang (channels and limbs). Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang is the formula specifically designed for Blood stasis in the sub-diaphragmatic region, targeting the Liver, Spleen, and abdominal organs. In modern TCVM practice, these five formulas remain among the most widely used Blood stasis formulas across species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Ge Xia Zhu Yu contraindicated during pregnancy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGe Xia Zhu Yu contains several potent Blood-invigorating and Blood stasis-breaking herbs, particularly Tao Ren (Peach kernel), Hong Hua (Safflower), Chi Shao (Red peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum), that are contraindicated during pregnancy in Chinese medicine due to their strong downward-moving and Blood-dispersing actions. These herbs can stimulate uterine contractions and promote Blood movement in ways that are inappropriate during pregnancy. This contraindication applies across all formats and doses. Do not administer this formula to pregnant animals under any circumstances; consult your veterinarian for an appropriate alternative formula if Blood stasis support is needed during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-24T09:13:52-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-24T09:13:51-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Digestive","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Ge Xia Zhu Yu","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11540,"price_min":11540,"price_max":14590,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45929240297542,"title":"0.5g Concentrated Capsules (100 Count)","option1":"0.5g Concentrated Capsules (100 Count)","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B0027CC212","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":30654025433158,"product_id":8486631800902,"position":1,"created_at":"2023-11-14T14:31:17-06:00","updated_at":"2023-11-14T16:57:58-06:00","alt":"Jing Tang Ge Xia Zhu Yu Concentrated 0.5g Capsules #100","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/JingTang-ConcentratedCapsules_9acc92a2-9787-4331-9dd0-9bc20df1424a.jpg?v=1700002678","variant_ids":[45929240297542]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Ge Xia Zhu Yu Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses -

Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for patients with abdominal Blood stasis patterns, including Liver and Spleen Blood stasis presentations. Do not use during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Ge Xia Zhu Yu administered, and what are the recommended doses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing 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 capsule once daily is typical when that format is available. 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 0.3g and the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Wang Qing-Ren's Yi Lin Gai Cuo, and why are his Blood stasis formulas significant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWang Qing-Ren (1768-1831) was a Chinese physician whose landmark text \u003cem\u003eYi Lin Gai Cuo\u003c\/em\u003e (Corrections of Errors Among Physicians, 1830) revolutionized the understanding and treatment of Blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Wang Qing-Ren developed five celebrated Blood stasis formulas, each targeting Blood stasis in a specific anatomical region: Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (chest and upper body), Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang (below the diaphragm), Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (lower abdomen), Tong Qiao Huo Xue Tang (head and sensory orifices), and Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang (channels and limbs). Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang is the formula specifically designed for Blood stasis in the sub-diaphragmatic region, targeting the Liver, Spleen, and abdominal organs. In modern TCVM practice, these five formulas remain among the most widely used Blood stasis formulas across species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Ge Xia Zhu Yu contraindicated during pregnancy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGe Xia Zhu Yu contains several potent Blood-invigorating and Blood stasis-breaking herbs, particularly Tao Ren (Peach kernel), Hong Hua (Safflower), Chi Shao (Red peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum), that are contraindicated during pregnancy in Chinese medicine due to their strong downward-moving and Blood-dispersing actions. These herbs can stimulate uterine contractions and promote Blood movement in ways that are inappropriate during pregnancy. This contraindication applies across all formats and doses. Do not administer this formula to pregnant animals under any circumstances; consult your veterinarian for an appropriate alternative formula if Blood stasis support is needed during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
