Jing Tang Haliotis Formula Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Haliotis Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that clears the Liver, eliminates Fire, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula to address Liver Fire and Liver Heat patterns with eye involvement in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Jue Ming San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses, 1608), this eleven-herb formula combines potent Liver Fire-clearing, Heat-draining, and eye-brightening herbs with Blood-nourishing, Blood-invigorating, and Qi-tonifying agents to address both the root Liver Fire and Heat accumulation and the eye cloudiness, nebula, and visual disturbance that arise from Liver Fire and Heat rising to the eyes through the Liver channel. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard capsules, and standard powder. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

What It Supports

  • Liver Fire clearance: Clears Liver Fire and drains Heat from the Liver channel to address the root Fire and Heat accumulation underlying eye involvement patterns.
  • Eye brightening: Brightens the eyes and improves visual clarity by clearing the Liver Fire and Heat that rises through the Liver channel to the eyes.
  • Nebula resolution: Resolves nebula (corneal opacity and cloudiness) by addressing the Liver Fire, Heat, and Blood stagnation in the Liver channel and eye that contribute to nebula formation.
  • Blood nourishment: Nourishes Liver Blood and Yin to address the Blood and Yin deficiency component that often underlies or accompanies Liver Fire patterns.
  • Qi tonification: Tonifies Qi to support the formula's sustained Liver Fire-clearing action and prevent the strong Heat-clearing herbs from depleting the Zheng Qi.

TCVM Principles

  • Primary action: Clear the Liver and eliminate Fire, brighten the eyes and resolve nebula.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Haliotis Formula is an eleven-herb formula combining potent Liver Fire-clearing, Heat-draining, and eye-brightening herbs with Blood-nourishing, Blood-invigorating, and Qi-tonifying agents to address Liver Fire and Liver Heat patterns with eye involvement:

  • Shi Jue Ming (Haliotis diversicolor), Abalone shell: The namesake chief herb; clears Liver Fire, anchors Liver Yang, brightens the eyes, and resolves visual disturbance and nebula; the primary Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening herb with a specific affinity for the Liver channel and the eyes. An animal-derived mineral ingredient.
  • Jue Ming Zi (Cassia obtusifolia), Cassia seed: Clears Liver Fire, brightens the eyes, and gently moistens the Intestines; the formula's secondary namesake herb (Jue Ming San is named for this herb); works with Shi Jue Ming as the primary Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening pair.
  • Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis), Coptis rhizome: The most potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herb in the Chinese materia medica; clears Liver and Heart Fire and resolves toxins; works with Huang Qin and Zhi Zi as the primary Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio supporting the eye-brightening herbs.
  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis), Scutellaria root: Clears Heat, drains Fire, and resolves toxins from the upper and middle Jiao; works with Huang Lian and Zhi Zi as the primary Heat-clearing trio, addressing the Heat component across the Liver and upper Jiao channels.
  • Zhi Zi (Gardenia jasminoides), Gardenia fruit: Clears Heat, drains Fire, resolves toxins, and drains Damp-Heat; completes the primary Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio alongside Huang Lian and Huang Qin.
  • Mi Meng Hua (Buddleja officinalis), Buddleia flower bud: Clears Liver Heat, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula; a specific eye-brightening herb with direct affinity for the Liver channel and the eyes, working alongside Shi Jue Ming and Jue Ming Zi as the formula's dedicated eye-brightening group.
  • Gu Jing Cao (Eriocaulon buergerianum), Pipewort scapose: Disperses Wind-Heat from the Liver channel, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula and superficial visual obstruction; works with Mi Meng Hua as the secondary eye-brightening and nebula-resolving pair, addressing the Wind-Heat component of eye patterns.
  • Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, raw), Raw rehmannia root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, and nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood; the primary Blood-nourishing and Yin-nourishing herb, addressing the Blood and Yin deficiency that often underlies or accompanies Liver Fire patterns and providing the Yin foundation to balance the formula's strong Heat-clearing herbs.
  • Mo Yao (Commiphora myrrha), Myrrh resin: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and reduces swelling; addresses the Blood stagnation component of nebula formation in the Liver channel and eye, as Blood stasis in the Liver channel can contribute to corneal opacity and visual obstruction alongside the Liver Fire and Heat.
  • Yu Jin (Curcuma aromatica), Curcuma tuber: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, clears Heat, and opens the orifices; works with Mo Yao to address the Blood stagnation and Qi stagnation component of the pattern, and supports the formula's distribution to the Liver channel and eye through its orifice-opening action.
  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi and strengthens Wei Qi; the formula's Qi-tonifying herb, supporting the Zheng Qi and preventing the strong Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs from depleting the body's Qi while sustaining the formula's long-term Liver Fire-clearing action.

Potential Drug Interactions

Haliotis Formula contains potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs (Huang Lian, Huang Qin, Zhi Zi) alongside eye-brightening herbs (Shi Jue Ming, Jue Ming Zi, Mi Meng Hua, Gu Jing Cao), Blood-invigorating herbs (Mo Yao, Yu Jin), and Blood-nourishing herbs (Sheng Di Huang) 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, ophthalmic medications applied concurrently, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Haliotis Formula used for in TCVM?

Haliotis Formula is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Liver Fire and Liver Heat rising to the eyes through the Liver channel, where Liver Fire accumulation leads to eye cloudiness, nebula (corneal opacity), visual disturbance, or other eye signs associated with Liver Fire and Heat. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with ocular patterns rooted in Liver Fire and Heat, including corneal opacity, eye cloudiness, and visual disturbance with a Liver Fire component. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.

How is Haliotis Formula 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 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.

What is the significance of the classical source Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji for this formula?

Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses) is one of the most important classical texts in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608 during the Ming dynasty. Jue Ming San was originally formulated for horses with Liver Fire and Heat patterns involving the eyes, and the formula's name references Jue Ming Zi (Cassia seed), one of its primary eye-brightening herbs. In modern TCVM practice, the formula has also been adapted for dogs and cats, reflecting the broader use of classical equine formulas across companion animal species when the underlying TCVM pattern is the same.

Why does Haliotis Formula include Blood-invigorating herbs like Mo Yao and Yu Jin for an eye condition?

In TCVM, nebula (corneal opacity) and eye cloudiness are not solely the result of Liver Fire and Heat — Blood stagnation in the Liver channel and the local eye tissues can also contribute to the formation and persistence of corneal opacity. Mo Yao and Yu Jin are included in Haliotis Formula to address this Blood stagnation component, invigorating Blood flow through the Liver channel and the eye to support the resolution of nebula alongside the Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening herbs. Yu Jin also opens the orifices and moves Qi, supporting the formula's distribution to the Liver channel and eye. This combined approach of clearing Liver Fire and invigorating Blood reflects the classical understanding that nebula formation involves both Heat accumulation and Blood stagnation in the Liver channel.

seems to be working slowly

Going on my 3rd month with my horse having IMMK. Her better eye cleared up and her bad eye seems like it is a bit better, at least not getting worse. She is brighter and happier. Eye seems less cloudy and darker, heathier and more comfortable. This is my last hope so crossing fingers. I can't afford any vet intervention as I am paying so much as it is on meds and supplements and my vets are very expensive here. They refuse to come out and look at her and she is a rescue so can't get her to them. Couldn't afford the thousands to do so anyway and those are temporary solutions.
