Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Cool the Blood is organized around three functional groups: herbs that protect Yin and clear Heat from the deepest Ying and Blood layers, herbs that expel Heat from the Qi and Wei layers, and herbs that cool and mobilize Blood while calming the Spirit.

  • Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, raw) - Raw Rehmannia Root: Clears Heat and protects Yin from the deepest layers; also has a potent nourishing effect on Yin alongside Xuan Shen and Mai Men Dong; one of the core Yin-protecting herbs of the original Qing Ying Tang

  • Zhi Zi (Gardenia jasminoides) - Gardenia Fruit / Cape Jasmine Fruit: Clears Heat from the Heart and calms the Shen; addresses agitation, restlessness, and dominance aggression associated with Heart Heat

  • Lian Qiao (Forsythia suspensa) - Forsythia Fruit: Expels Heat invasion from the Qi and Wei layers; works with Jin Yin Hua and Huang Lian to drive Heat from the Ying and Blood layers back out to the body surface
  • Dan Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) - Chinese Salvia Root and Rhizome / Red Sage Root: Cools and mobilizes Blood; addresses Blood stagnation and Heat in the Blood layer; supports the formula's Blood-cooling action

Potential Drug Interactions

Cool the Blood contains several potent Chinese herbs, including strongly Heat-clearing, Blood-cooling, and Blood-moving herbs (notably Da Huang, Huang Lian, and Dan Shen) with known cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune-modulating activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision. Avoid use in animals with signs of Dampness or Cold.

Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, cardiac medications, gastrointestinal medications, immunosuppressive drugs, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Cool the Blood is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cool the Blood used for in TCVM?

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Cool the Blood (Qing Ying Tang) is traditionally used to cool Blood, protect Yin, and expel Heat invasions from the deepest Ying and Blood layers back out to the most superficial Wei and Qi layers. It is indicated for patterns of Blood stagnation and Heat in the Blood, commonly used to support healthy skin, a healthy immune system, and emotional calm in dogs and cats.

How is Cool the Blood administered?

Cool the Blood 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. Some animals may show improvement in skin comfort and heat sensitivity relatively quickly, while those with more chronic or established Heat in the Blood patterns may require several weeks of consistent use. Your authorizing veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
