Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hot Hoof I is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) 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 recovery and maintenance. This twelve-herb formula is the maintenance-phase companion to Hot Hoof II, designed for use after acute inflammation has been brought under control. Where Hot Hoof II emphasizes strong Heat-toxin clearance, Hot Hoof I shifts the emphasis toward Liver Qi movement, Blood invigoration, and pain relief alongside continued Damp-Heat clearance, reflecting the classical TCVM approach of transitioning from acute clearing to recovery-phase support. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Dosing varies by condition and formulation; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Hot Hoof I is a twelve-herb formula that retains the Damp-Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating core of Hot Hoof II while shifting the emphasis toward Liver Qi movement, stronger Blood stasis dispersal, and pain relief for the recovery and maintenance phase:
Hot Hoof I contains Damp-Heat-clearing herbs (Yin Chen Hao, Da Huang) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs (Hong Hua, Tao Ren, Chi Shao, Mo Yao, Dang Gui, Yan Hu Suo) and Liver Qi-moving herbs (Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Chen Pi) that may interact with certain medications. 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 1 to 3 months following the acute phase managed with Hot Hoof II. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and clinical assessment.

Hot Hoof I is most commonly recommended for horses in the recovery and maintenance phase following acute hoof inflammatory patterns, 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 frequently prescribe it as the second phase of the Hot Hoof treatment protocol. Do not use during pregnancy.
Dosing varies by condition and formulation; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, with the large scoop holding approximately 1.2g. For the 600g standard powder, the standard equine dose is 10 to 20g twice daily, up to 100g twice daily as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs.
Hot Hoof II is the acute-phase formula, emphasizing strong Heat-toxin clearance with herbs like Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, and Zhi Ke alongside Blood invigoration. Hot Hoof I is the recovery and maintenance-phase formula, retaining the Damp-Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating core but replacing the strong Heat-toxin-clearing herbs with Liver Qi-moving herbs (Chai Hu, Qing Pi) and adding stronger pain-relieving agents (Yan Hu Suo, Tao Ren). This shift reflects the classical TCVM approach of using stronger clearing and purging formulas acutely, then transitioning to gentler Qi-moving and Blood-invigorating formulas for recovery. Both formulas share Yin Chen Hao, Chi Shao, Da Huang, Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Mo Yao, and Jie Geng as their common core.
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, but this decision should be made by your holistic veterinarian based on your horse's specific pattern, the severity of the presentation, and the clinical assessment at the time of the TCVM evaluation.
