Based on Gui Pi Tang from Ji Sheng Fang (Formulas from Aid the Living, 1253), written by Yan Yong-He, this twelve-herb classical formula combines potent Spleen Qi-tonifying and Blood-nourishing herbs with Shen-calming, Qi-moving, and channel-warming agents to address both the root Spleen Qi deficiency and the Heart Blood deficiency, Shen disturbance, and fatigue that arise from Spleen Qi failing to generate and contain Blood. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, and teapills.

Gui Pi Tang is a twelve-herb classical formula combining potent Spleen Qi-tonifying and Blood-nourishing herbs with Shen-calming, Qi-moving, and channel-warming agents to address Spleen Qi and Heart Blood deficiency:
Gui Pi Tang contains potent Qi-tonifying herbs (Ren Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu) alongside Blood-nourishing herbs (Dang Gui, He Shou Wu, Long Yan Rou) and Shen-calming herbs (Yuan Zhi, Fu Ling) 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, sedative or anxiolytic 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.

Gui Pi Tang is one of the most widely used classical formulas in Chinese medicine for Spleen Qi and Heart Blood deficiency patterns, where Spleen Qi deficiency has led to insufficient Blood generation and the Heart Blood deficiency that results from it. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for dogs, cats, and horses with patterns of fatigue, Shen disturbance, restlessness, or anxiety rooted in Spleen Qi and Heart Blood deficiency, as well as for patterns where Spleen Qi deficiency has led to the Spleen failing to contain Blood within the vessels. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.
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 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 0.4g 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 6 months.
Ji Sheng Fang (Formulas from Aid the Living) was written by Yan Yong-He in 1253 during the Song dynasty and is one of the foundational texts of classical Chinese medicine. Gui Pi Tang is one of the most celebrated formulas from this text and has been in continuous clinical use for over 770 years, making it one of the most time-tested Blood and Qi-tonifying formulas in the Chinese materia medica. Its enduring clinical relevance reflects the precision of its formulation for Spleen Qi and Heart Blood deficiency patterns, and its adaptation for veterinary use in dogs, cats, and horses reflects the same underlying TCVM pattern recognition applied across species.
Gan Jiang (dried ginger) and Sheng Jiang (fresh ginger) are two processing forms of the same plant with meaningfully different actions in Chinese medicine. Sheng Jiang is fresh, more dispersing, and primarily used to release the exterior, warm the Stomach, and stop nausea. Gan Jiang is dried, more warming and penetrating, and primarily used to warm the Spleen and Stomach, disperse interior Cold, and support the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions. Gui Pi Tang uses Gan Jiang because the formula's primary goal is to warm the middle Jiao and support the Spleen's Qi-generating and Blood-generating functions from the interior, rather than to disperse exterior Cold or stop nausea. The warming and interior-penetrating nature of Gan Jiang makes it the appropriate form for a Spleen Qi and Blood-tonifying formula.
