Kan Essentials Calm Repose  - TCVM Pet Supply

Kan Essentials Calm Repose (Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin)

Kan 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.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

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.

  • Shi Jue Ming (Haliotis diversicolor, shell) - Abalone Shell / Sea Ear Shell: Assists in sinking Yang back into the Lower Burner through its heavy mineral content; anchors Liver Yang and calms Internal Wind
  • Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides, bark) - Eucommia Bark: Consolidates descending Yang back into the Kidney and simultaneously conserves its Yin; tonifies Kidney Yang and Liver Yin to support the formula's anchoring action
  • Fu Shen Mu (Poria cocos, wood root) - Poria with Wood Root / Spirit Poria: Calms the Spirit and quiets the mind; works with Ye Jiao Teng to address restlessness and disturbed sleep associated with Liver Yang rising
  • Gou Teng (Uncaria rhynchophylla, stem and twig) - Gambir Stem Branch and Twig / Cat's Claw Vine: One of the two chief herbs; subdues Liver Yang and extinguishes Internal Wind; cool and sweet, it is particularly effective for tremors, spasms, and muscle twitches
  • Sang Ji Sheng (Taxillus chinensis) - Loranthus Herb / Mulberry Mistletoe: Consolidates descending Yang back into the Kidney and conserves its Yin; works with Du Zhong to anchor Yang and nourish Liver and Kidney Yin
  • Tian Ma (Gastrodia elata) - Gastrodia Rhizome / Tall Gastrodia Tuber: The primary chief herb; subdues Liver Yang and extinguishes Internal Wind; the defining herb of this formula and one of the most important herbs in TCVM for Liver Wind patterns
  • Ye Jiao Teng (Polygonum multiflorum, stem) - Polygonum Multiflorum Stem / Fleeceflower Stem: Calms the Spirit and nourishes Blood; works with Fu Shen Mu to address restlessness and disturbed sleep; also nourishes the Blood underlying Yin deficiency
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis) - Cyathula Root / Sichuan Ox-Knee: Opens the Upper Burner to allow Yang energy and stagnant Blood to descend; also protects Liver and Kidney Yin
  • Yi Mu Cao (Leonurus japonicus) - Siberian Motherwort Herb / Chinese Motherwort: Opens the Upper Burner to allow Yang energy and stagnant Blood to descend; restores communication between the Heart and the Kidney, facilitating the descent of Heart Yang
  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis) - Chinese Skullcap Root / Baical Skullcap: Clears Heat from the Upper Burner and the Heart; addresses the Heat accumulation accompanying Liver Yang rising
  • Zhi Zi (Gardenia jasminoides) - Gardenia Fruit / Cape Jasmine Fruit: Clears Heat from the Upper Burner and the Heart; works with Huang Qin as a Heat-clearing pair to address the Heat generated by Liver Yang rising

Potential Drug Interactions

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Calm Repose used for in TCVM?

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.

How is Calm Repose administered?

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.

How long does it take to see results?

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.

Can Calm Repose be combined with other medications or supplements?

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.
