Go to the shopKan Essentials Calm Repose (Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin) is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula formulated to extinguish Liver Wind, sink Liver Yang, and nourish Kidney and Liver Yin to support healthy vision, healthy blood pressure levels, and nervous system health. Recommended by holistic veterinarians, this formula anchors upward rising Yang and Wind due to Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency. Note: Calm Repose addresses Yin deficiency but does not contain herbs that specifically tonify Yin; for animals with strong underlying Yin deficiency, concurrent use of a Yin-tonifying formula such as Glehnia and Rehmannia Combination (Yi Guan Jian) or APR Nourishing Formula (Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan) is recommended. Available in liquid and tablet forms. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Calm Repose is organized around three functional groups: chief herbs that subdue Liver Yang and extinguish Internal Wind, herbs that clear Heat and open the Upper Burner to allow Yang to descend, and herbs that calm the Spirit and consolidate descending Yang back into the Kidney.
Calm Repose contains several potent Chinese herbs, including Liver Yang-subduing, Heat-clearing, and Spirit-calming herbs with known cardiovascular, neurological, and endocrine activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision. For animals with strong underlying Yin deficiency, concurrent use of a Yin-tonifying formula is advisable - discuss this with your authorizing veterinarian.
Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving antihypertensive medications, cardiac medications, neurological medications, thyroid medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Calm Repose is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Calm Repose (Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin) is traditionally used to extinguish Liver Wind, sink Liver Yang, and nourish Kidney and Liver Yin. It is indicated for patterns of Liver Yang rising, Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, and Internal Wind, commonly used to support healthy vision, healthy blood pressure levels, and nervous system health in dogs and cats.
Calm Repose is available in liquid extract (1 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz) or 500mg tablets (60, 120, or 300 count). Liquid can be mixed into food or administered directly; tablets can be given directly or hidden in food. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.
Results vary by individual and the severity of the pattern. Liver Yang rising and Internal Wind patterns often require consistent use over several weeks before significant improvement is seen. Some animals may show earlier improvement in restlessness and heat sensitivity. Your authorizing veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
Always consult your veterinarian before combining Calm Repose with other medications or supplements. For animals with strong underlying Yin deficiency, your veterinarian may recommend adding a Yin-tonifying formula such as Glehnia and Rehmannia Combination (Yi Guan Jian) or APR Nourishing Formula (Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan). Key interactions to discuss include antihypertensive medications, cardiac medications, and neurological medications. See the Potential Drug Interactions section above for details.
