Jing Tang Hot Hoof I Chinese Herbal Formula for Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hot Hoof I is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Damp-Heat, moves Qi, activates Blood, and resolves Stagnation to address Damp-Heat and Blood stagnation patterns affecting the hooves and lower limbs in horses during the recovery and maintenance phase. This twelve-herb Jing Tang original formula is the maintenance-phase companion to Hot Hoof II, retaining the Damp-Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating core of the acute-phase formula while shifting emphasis toward Liver Qi movement (Chai Hu, Qing Pi), stronger Blood stasis dispersal (Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Mo Yao), and channel-specific discomfort relief (Yan Hu Suo) for recovery and ongoing support. Available in 90g concentrated powder or 600g standard powder. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by condition and formulation; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Damp-Heat clearance: Yin Chen Hao continues to clear Damp-Heat from the Liver and Gallbladder channels and the lower Jiao into the recovery phase; Da Huang addresses residual Heat and purges accumulation; Chen Pi dries Dampness and supports the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions to prevent secondary Dampness accumulation during the maintenance phase; together they maintain the Damp-Heat-clearing action from the acute phase as the pattern resolves
  • Liver Qi movement and Stagnation resolution: Chai Hu soothes Liver Qi, releases stagnation, and guides the formula's actions to the Liver and Gallbladder channels as the primary Liver Qi-moving herb; Qing Pi strongly moves Liver Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and disperses accumulation, working with Chai Hu as the formula's primary Liver Qi-moving pair; Jie Geng directs the formula's actions and supports channel unblocking; together they form the recovery-phase Qi-moving layer addressing the Qi stagnation component that persists after the acute Heat-toxin has resolved
  • Blood activation and discomfort relief: Hong Hua invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and unblocks the channels as the primary Blood-invigorating herb; Tao Ren invigorates Blood and disperses Blood stasis, working with Hong Hua as the classical Blood stasis-dispersing pair; Chi Shao clears Heat, cools Blood, invigorates Blood, and disperses Blood stasis; Mo Yao invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, reduces swelling, and supports tissue healing; Yan Hu Suo invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and relieves channel discomfort as the formula's primary discomfort-relieving herb; Dang Gui nourishes and invigorates Blood, moistens the sinews, and prevents the Blood-invigorating herbs from depleting Blood; together they form the formula's comprehensive Blood-activating, stasis-dispersing, and discomfort-relieving layer addressing residual Blood obstruction in the hoof and lower limb channels

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Hot Hoof I is a twelve-herb formula that retains the Damp-Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating core shared with Hot Hoof II while replacing the strong Heat-toxin-clearing agents of the acute phase (Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Zhi Ke) with Liver Qi-moving herbs (Chai Hu, Qing Pi) and stronger discomfort-relieving agents (Yan Hu Suo, Tao Ren), and adding a Spleen-protecting herb (Chen Pi) for the longer maintenance course:

  • Yin Chen Hao (Artemisia capillaris) - Capillaris herb: Clears Damp-Heat from the Liver and Gallbladder channels and the lower Jiao; maintains the Damp-Heat-clearing action from the acute phase, continuing to resolve residual Damp-Heat in the hoof and lower limb channels during the recovery and maintenance phase
  • Chai Hu (Bupleurum chinense) - Bupleurum root: Soothes Liver Qi, releases stagnation, and guides the formula's actions to the Liver and Gallbladder channels; the new primary herb of Hot Hoof I compared to Hot Hoof II, reflecting the recovery-phase shift from acute Heat-toxin clearance to Liver Qi movement and stagnation resolution
  • Hong Hua (Carthamus tinctorius) - Safflower flower: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and unblocks the channels; the primary Blood-invigorating herb addressing residual Blood stagnation in the hoof and lower limb channels, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core
  • Tao Ren (Prunus persica) - Peach kernel: Invigorates Blood and disperses Blood stasis; works with Hong Hua as the classical Blood stasis-dispersing pair, a new addition to Hot Hoof I reflecting the recovery-phase emphasis on resolving established Blood stasis remaining after the acute phase
  • Chi Shao (Paeonia lactiflora rubra) - Red peony root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, invigorates Blood, and disperses Blood stasis; supports the Blood-invigorating herbs and addresses residual Heat in the Blood level, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core
  • Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis yanhusuo) - Corydalis rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and relieves channel discomfort; the primary discomfort-relieving herb and a new addition to Hot Hoof I, directly addressing the discomfort associated with residual Qi and Blood stagnation in the hoof and lower limb channels during recovery
  • Mo Yao (Commiphora myrrha) - Myrrh resin: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, reduces swelling, and supports tissue healing; works with Hong Hua, Tao Ren, and Chi Shao as part of the comprehensive Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing group, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, moistens the sinews, and supports smooth Blood flow through the channels; the Blood-nourishing assistant preventing the potent Blood-invigorating herbs from depleting Blood while contributing its own mild Blood-invigorating action, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core
  • Da Huang (Rheum palmatum) - Chinese rhubarb root: Clears Heat, invigorates Blood, and purges accumulation; continues to address residual Heat and Blood stagnation while supporting the downward movement of Qi and Heat through the bowels; its purging action is why diarrhea warrants immediate discontinuation, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core
  • Qing Pi (Citrus reticulata viride) - Green tangerine peel: Strongly moves Liver Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and disperses accumulation; works with Chai Hu as the formula's primary Liver Qi-moving pair, addressing Liver Qi stagnation in the Liver and Gallbladder channels as the recovery-phase Qi-moving layer
  • Chen Pi (Citrus reticulata) - Tangerine peel: Moves Qi, dries Dampness, and supports the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions; a new addition to Hot Hoof I, providing Spleen protection during the longer maintenance course and preventing Dampness accumulation alongside the continued Damp-Heat-clearing herbs
  • Jie Geng (Platycodon grandiflorum) - Platycodon root: Opens the Lung, directs the formula's actions, and acts as a messenger herb to guide the other herbs through the channels; supports the formula's channel-unblocking action and helps distribute the Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving herbs to the hoof and lower limb channels, carried over from the Hot Hoof II core

Potential Drug Interactions

Hot Hoof I contains Damp-Heat-clearing and purging herbs including Yin Chen Hao (capillaris herb) and Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb root), alongside Blood-invigorating herbs including Hong Hua (safflower flower), Tao Ren (peach kernel), Chi Shao (red peony root), Mo Yao (myrrh resin), Dang Gui (dong quai root), and Yan Hu Suo (corydalis rhizome), and Liver Qi-moving herbs including Chai Hu (bupleurum root), Qing Pi (green tangerine peel), and Chen Pi (tangerine peel), which may affect platelet activity, coagulation, anti-inflammatory pathways, and bowel function. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in horses remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, anti-inflammatory medications, laxative or purgative medications, and horses managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months, typically for 1 to 3 months following the acute phase managed with Hot Hoof II, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Hot Hoof I used for in TCVM?

Hot Hoof I is indicated in TCVM for the recovery and maintenance phase following acute hoof inflammatory patterns in horses, where the acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin have been brought under control with Hot Hoof II, and the focus shifts to resolving residual Qi and Blood stagnation, clearing remaining Damp-Heat, and supporting recovery of the hoof and lower limb channels. Holistic veterinarians commonly prescribe it as the second phase of the Hot Hoof treatment protocol, typically for 1 to 3 months following the acute phase. Do not use during pregnancy. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis and transition timing before recommending Hot Hoof I.

How is Hot Hoof I administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Dosing varies by condition and formulation; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For the 600g standard powder, the standard equine dose is 10 to 20g twice daily, up to 100g twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix the powder directly into wet feed or a top dressing at each meal. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

How does Hot Hoof I differ from Hot Hoof II?

Hot Hoof II is the acute-phase formula, emphasizing strong Heat-toxin clearance with Huang Qin (scutellaria root), Zhi Zi (gardenia fruit), and Zhi Ke (bitter orange fruit) alongside Blood invigoration. Hot Hoof I is the recovery and maintenance-phase formula, retaining the Damp-Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating core shared with Hot Hoof II (Yin Chen Hao, Chi Shao, Da Huang, Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Mo Yao, Jie Geng) while replacing the strong Heat-toxin-clearing herbs with Liver Qi-moving herbs (Chai Hu, Qing Pi) and adding stronger stasis-dispersing and discomfort-relieving agents (Yan Hu Suo, Tao Ren) and a Spleen-protecting herb (Chen Pi) for the longer maintenance course. This shift reflects the classical TCVM approach of transitioning from acute clearing and purging to recovery-phase Qi movement and Blood invigoration.

Can Hot Hoof I be used without first using Hot Hoof II?

The manufacturer's recommended protocol is to use Hot Hoof II first during the acute inflammatory phase, then transition to Hot Hoof I once local inflammation is under control. Using Hot Hoof I without the acute-phase clearance of Hot Hoof II may be appropriate in some clinical situations, for example, in subacute or chronic presentations where acute Heat-toxin is not the predominant pattern, but this decision should always be made by your holistic veterinarian based on your horse's specific TCVM pattern, the severity of the presentation, and the clinical assessment at the time of the evaluation.

I can ride my horse again!

DISCLAIMER: I work for TCVM Pet Supply, but was NOT provided this product for free. My horse, Sugar, suffered from chronic laminitis and was constantly laying down. I could tell she was in major pain, especially when she tried to walk over to me and kept lifting her front feet up because it hurt so much for them to touch the rocky Tennessee soil. I knew I had to do something to heal the root cause of her pain, rather than just giving her bute to cover up the pain. The first year Sugar foundered in late July, and I gave her a combination of Sang Zhi San and Body sore, which worked wonderfully. The second year, I tried Hot Hoof I, which also worked really well. This year, my veterinarian, Dr. Smith, suggested I start giving Hot Hoof I on March 1st, which I did. I administered it every day until July 1st, and it successfully prevented Sugar from foundering! We are so happy she didn't need to deal with pain and pasture rest this year, and love running around the trails. Thank you Jing Tang!
