Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Equine Chest Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that activates Blood, resolves stagnation, and dredges the flow of Qi to address the TCVM pattern of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation in the chest and thoracic channel system in horses, dogs, and cats. Based on Dang Gui San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses) written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608, a foundational classical text of Chinese equine veterinary medicine, this eleven-herb formula combines a comprehensive Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving core (Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo, Mu Dan Pi, Bai Shao Yao) with a downward-driving and bowel-moving herb (Da Huang), chest-directing channel guides (Jie Geng, Pi Ba Ye), a Heat-clearing and fluid-generating herb (Tian Hua Fen), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao). Available as a 600g powder. Do not use during pregnancy; multiple herbs in this formula have strong Blood-moving and uterine-stimulating actions that are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Equine Chest Formula is an eleven-herb formula based on Dang Gui San from the classical equine veterinary text Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608), organized around a six-herb Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving core (Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo, Mu Dan Pi, Bai Shao Yao), a downward-driving and stasis-expelling herb (Da Huang), a Lung-and-chest-directing channel guide pair (Jie Geng, Pi Ba Ye), a Heat-clearing and fluid-generating herb (Tian Hua Fen), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao):
Equine Chest Formula contains multiple strong Blood-invigorating herbs including Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo, Mu Dan Pi, and Bai Shao Yao whose constituents may affect platelet aggregation and coagulation function and may interact with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications including warfarin, aspirin, and other NSAIDs; Da Huang's anthraquinone constituents may interact with cardiac glycoside medications including digoxin through electrolyte-affecting mechanisms and may potentiate the laxative effect of other bowel-affecting medications; Yan Hu Suo's tetrahydropalmatine alkaloid constituent may interact with CNS-affecting medications and sedatives; Tian Hua Fen may interact with immunosuppressive medications. Do not use during pregnancy; multiple herbs have strong Blood-moving and uterine-stimulating actions that are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Da Huang's laxative action warrants close monitoring in animals prone to loose stool; reduce dose or discontinue if diarrhea develops. Dogs, cats, and horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in these species remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, NSAIDs, cardiac glycoside medications, CNS-affecting medications and sedatives, immunosuppressive medications, and animals managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Equine Chest Formula addresses the TCVM pattern of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation in the chest and thoracic channel system. In TCVM theory, the chest houses the Heart and Lung, through which the Zong Qi (gathering Qi) drives Blood circulation and respiratory function; when Blood stasis and Qi stagnation accumulate in the chest channel system, they impair the free flow of both Qi and Blood through the thoracic region. "Dredge the flow of Qi" refers specifically to restoring the free movement of Qi through the chest channel system by resolving the Qi stagnation that develops alongside and in response to Blood stasis accumulation in the thoracic channels; the Qi stagnation and Blood stasis components of the pattern are mutually reinforcing, with each worsening the other, and the formula's combined Blood-invigorating and Qi-dredging strategy addresses both simultaneously. The classical antecedent Dang Gui San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608) reflects centuries of classical equine veterinary clinical observation of this pattern in horses, making this one of the few TCVM formulas whose source text is specifically a veterinary rather than human medicine classical text. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.
Equine Chest Formula is available as a 600g powder that mixes into feed or food. For horses, the guideline is 15g twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Da Huang's laxative action warrants close monitoring for loose stool; reduce dose or discontinue if diarrhea develops. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and duration for your animal.
Jie Geng (platycodon root) and Pi Ba Ye (loquat leaf) function as the formula's Lung-and-chest-directing channel guide pair, the structural feature that specifically targets the formula's Blood-invigorating action to the thoracic channel system. In classical TCVM formula composition, channel guides (yin jing yao) are herbs selected for their specific affinity for a target channel or region, directing the action of the formula's chief and deputy herbs to the intended treatment location. Jie Geng's upward-lifting and Lung Qi-opening action carries the Blood-invigorating herbs into the chest and Lung channel; Pi Ba Ye's downward-descending and Lung Qi-regulating action clears rebellious Lung Qi and Phlegm in the thoracic channel system as the Blood-invigorating herbs resolve stasis within it. Together, Jie Geng and Pi Ba Ye establish a bidirectional Lung Qi-regulating framework in the chest that simultaneously opens the channel to allow the Blood-invigorating herbs access and descends the obstructed Qi to clear the thoracic channel system; it is this Jie Geng-Pi Ba Ye channel guide pair that makes Equine Chest Formula specifically a chest and thoracic formula rather than a general Blood-invigorating formula. Your authorizing veterinarian can provide further context about the formula's channel guide composition and its clinical application in equine and small animal TCVM practice, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Equine Chest Formula is distinguished from other Jing Tang Blood-invigorating formulas by its specific thoracic and chest channel focus established through the Jie Geng-Pi Ba Ye channel guide pair, its classical equine veterinary lineage from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608), and its inclusion of Da Huang as a downward-driving stasis-expelling herb alongside a six-herb Blood-invigorating core. Most Jing Tang Blood-invigorating formulas address specific patterns by region or pathological type without the Lung-channel-directing channel guide structure that specifically targets the chest; Equine Chest Formula's Jie Geng-Pi Ba Ye pair makes it most specifically appropriate for Blood stasis and Qi stagnation presentations localized to the chest and thoracic channel system in horses, with the 600g powder format and equine dosing reflecting its primary equine clinical application. The formula's Da Huang content produces a secondary bowel-moving action that warrants monitoring for loose stool in sensitive individuals. It is not the primary formula for Blood stasis presentations outside the thoracic region or for Yang deficiency or Cold-type presentations where Da Huang's cold nature would be inappropriate. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate Blood-invigorating formula based on your animal's specific TCVM pattern diagnosis, stasis location, and clinical presentation, or as directed by your veterinarian.
