In TCVM, EIPH is understood as a pattern of Lung Fire and Lung Heat that overwhelms the Lung's blood vessels and causes them to rupture under the pressure of intense exercise; the Heat drives the Blood recklessly out of its vessels, producing the characteristic pulmonary bleeding and nosebleed of the EIPH horse. San Qi Clear Lung addresses this pattern through a twelve-herb strategy that combines the formula's chief herb San Qi (Notoginseng), the most important single herb in the TCVM materia medica for stopping bleeding while simultaneously invigorating Blood to prevent Blood stasis from forming, with an array of Lung Fire-clearing, Lung Yin-nourishing, and hemostatic herbs that cool the Lung, clear the Heat driving the bleeding, nourish the Lung Yin depleted by chronic Lung Fire, and consolidate the Lung's ability to hold Blood in its vessels. This formula is appropriate for performance horses with confirmed or suspected EIPH or recurrent epistaxis, used under veterinary supervision as part of a comprehensive EIPH management protocol. Available in traditional powder (500g, 900g, 1200g) and Flax Plus (30-day and 60-day supply); a six-tablespoon scoop is included with the Flax Plus format. Dosing varies by body weight and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. EIPH is typically a long-standing condition, and treatment may be extended or repeated. Not for use in pregnant mares.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEIPH and epistaxis management through Lung Fire clearance and hemostasis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Addresses the TCVM pattern underlying exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage: Lung Fire and Heat driving Blood recklessly out of the vessels; clears Lung Fire, cools the Lung, and stops bleeding through a multi-herb hemostatic strategy anchored by San Qi, the TCVM materia medica's most important hemostatic herb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStopping bleeding without creating Blood stasis:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Qi's unique combination of stopping bleeding and simultaneously invigorating Blood to prevent stasis is central to this formula's strategy; this allows the formula to stop active pulmonary bleeding without the risk of creating Blood stasis and clotting complications that can arise when hemostatic herbs are used without concurrent Blood-moving action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLung Yin nourishment to address the root of chronic Lung Fire:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nourishes Lung Yin through Bai He, Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mai Men Dong, and Wu Wei Zi, addressing the Lung Yin deficiency that underlies chronic Lung Fire in the performance horse; without restoring the Yin that controls and cools Lung Yang, Lung Fire will recur after cessation of treatment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrevention and long-term management of recurrent EIPH:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through its combined Fire-clearing, Yin-nourishing, and hemostatic strategy, it supports both the immediate management of active EIPH episodes and the longer-term prevention of recurrence by addressing the underlying Lung Heat and Yin deficiency pattern that predisposes the performance horse to repeated pulmonary hemorrhage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTCVM Principles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear Lung Fire, cool the Lung, stop bleeding, nourish Lung Yin, invigorate Blood to prevent stasis, and consolidate the Lung's capacity to hold Blood in its vessels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproach:\u003c\/strong\u003e In TCVM, exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage is understood as a Lung Fire and Lung Heat pattern. The Lung governs the blood vessels of the respiratory system; when Lung Fire is present, it heats the Blood and drives it recklessly out of its vessels, particularly under the increased circulatory pressure of intense exercise. The performance horse is particularly susceptible because repeated intense exercise generates and accumulates Lung Heat over time, and if that Heat is not cleared between training sessions, it eventually rises to the level of Lung Fire that ruptures vessels. Chronic Lung Fire also depletes Lung Yin, and the resulting Yin deficiency makes Heat easier to generate in the future, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of Heat generation, Yin depletion, and increasing EIPH susceptibility. San Qi Clear Lung breaks this cycle: San Qi stops the active bleeding without causing stasis; Huang Qin, Chuan Bei Mu, Huang Yao Zi, and Dan Shen clear Lung Fire and Heat and cool the blood; Bai He, Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, and Wu Wei Zi nourish the Lung Yin depleted by chronic Fire; Jie Geng directs the formula to the Lung; and Dang Shen and Gan Cao support the Spleen and Qi to ensure the Lung has the constitutional support needed for long-term recovery. EIPH is typically a long-standing condition; treatment may be extended or repeated under veterinary guidance.

It is common in racehorses, eventers, and other high-performance horses and may present as visible nosebleed (epistaxis) or as subclinical bleeding detectable only by endoscopy. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, EIPH is understood as a pattern of Lung Fire and Lung Heat causing the Blood to move recklessly out of its vessels under the increased circulatory pressure of intense exercise. The Lung governs the respiratory blood vessels; when Lung Fire is present, it heats the Blood and drives it out of its channels, just as excess heat causes liquid to overflow a vessel. Repeated intense exercise accumulates Lung Heat over time, and chronic Lung Fire depletes Lung Yin, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of increasing EIPH susceptibility. San Qi Clear Lung addresses this pattern by clearing the Lung Fire, cooling the Blood, and stopping the bleeding while nourishing the Lung Yin needed to prevent recurrence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is San Qi Clear Lung administered, and what are the recommended doses for a 1,000 lb horse?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor the traditional powder, administer two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then two tablespoons once daily.

Lung Fire depletes Lung Yin over time; without adequate Lung Yin to cool and control Lung Yang, new Heat is easily generated with each training session, and the pulmonary vessels remain susceptible to Heat-driven hemorrhage. The Yin-nourishing herbs in San Qi Clear Lung, including Bai He, Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, and Wu Wei Zi, rebuild Lung Yin to naturally control Lung Heat, gradually reducing the Fire-generating tendency that makes the performance horse prone to EIPH.

In TCVM, EIPH is understood as a pattern of Lung Fire and Lung Heat that overwhelms the Lung's blood vessels and causes them to rupture under the pressure of intense exercise; the Heat drives the Blood recklessly out of its vessels, producing the characteristic pulmonary bleeding and nosebleed of the EIPH horse. San Qi Clear Lung addresses this pattern through a twelve-herb strategy that combines the formula's chief herb San Qi (Notoginseng), the most important single herb in the TCVM materia medica for stopping bleeding while simultaneously invigorating Blood to prevent Blood stasis from forming, with an array of Lung Fire-clearing, Lung Yin-nourishing, and hemostatic herbs that cool the Lung, clear the Heat driving the bleeding, nourish the Lung Yin depleted by chronic Lung Fire, and consolidate the Lung's ability to hold Blood in its vessels. This formula is appropriate for performance horses with confirmed or suspected EIPH or recurrent epistaxis, used under veterinary supervision as part of a comprehensive EIPH management protocol. Available in traditional powder (500g, 900g, 1200g) and Flax Plus (30-day and 60-day supply); a six-tablespoon scoop is included with the Flax Plus format. Dosing varies by body weight and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. EIPH is typically a long-standing condition, and treatment may be extended or repeated.

The Lung governs the blood vessels of the respiratory system; when Lung Fire is present, it heats the Blood and drives it recklessly out of its vessels, particularly under the increased circulatory pressure of intense exercise. The performance horse is particularly susceptible because repeated intense exercise generates and accumulates Lung Heat over time, and if that Heat is not cleared between training sessions, it eventually rises to the level of Lung Fire that ruptures vessels. Chronic Lung Fire also depletes Lung Yin, and the resulting Yin deficiency makes Heat easier to generate in the future, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of Heat generation, Yin depletion, and increasing EIPH susceptibility. San Qi Clear Lung breaks this cycle: San Qi stops the active bleeding without causing stasis; Huang Qin, Chuan Bei Mu, Huang Yao Zi, and Dan Shen clear Lung Fire and Heat and cool the blood; Bai He, Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, and Wu Wei Zi nourish the Lung Yin depleted by chronic Fire; Jie Geng directs the formula to the Lung; and Dang Shen and Gan Cao support the Spleen and Qi to ensure the Lung has the constitutional support needed for long-term recovery.

It is common in racehorses, eventers, and other high-performance horses and may present as visible nosebleed (epistaxis) or as subclinical bleeding detectable only by endoscopy. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, EIPH is understood as a pattern of Lung Fire and Lung Heat causing the Blood to move recklessly out of its vessels under the increased circulatory pressure of intense exercise. The Lung governs the respiratory blood vessels; when Lung Fire is present, it heats the Blood and drives it out of its channels, just as excess heat causes liquid to overflow a vessel. Repeated intense exercise accumulates Lung Heat over time, and chronic Lung Fire depletes Lung Yin, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of increasing EIPH susceptibility. San Qi Clear Lung addresses this pattern by clearing the Lung Fire, cooling the Blood, and stopping the bleeding while nourishing the Lung Yin needed to prevent recurrence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is San Qi Clear Lung administered, and what are the recommended doses for a 1,000 lb horse?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor the traditional powder, administer two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then two tablespoons once daily. For the Flax Plus format, administer one scoop (six-tablespoon scoop included) twice daily for the first 20 days, then one scoop daily. Mix into grain for easy administration. If the horse is reluctant to eat herbs, begin with small amounts in grain and gradually increase, or choose the Flax Plus version. Confirm dosing for horses of other weights with your authorizing veterinarian. EIPH is typically a long-standing condition, and treatment may be extended or repeated. Not for use in pregnant mares.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does the formula include both hemostatic herbs and Yin-nourishing herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eStopping active pulmonary bleeding is only part of the formula's strategy. Without also addressing the underlying Lung Fire and the Lung Yin deficiency that sustains it, the bleeding will recur as soon as the horse returns to intense exercise. Lung Fire depletes Lung Yin over time; without adequate Lung Yin to cool and control Lung Yang, new Heat is easily generated with each training session, and the pulmonary vessels remain susceptible to Heat-driven hemorrhage. The Yin-nourishing herbs in San Qi Clear Lung, including Bai He, Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, and Wu Wei Zi, rebuild Lung Yin to naturally control Lung Heat, gradually reducing the Fire-generating tendency that makes the performance horse prone to EIPH. The hemostatic herbs stop the immediate bleeding; the Yin-nourishing herbs treat the root cause of its recurrence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan San Qi Clear Lung be used alongside conventional EIPH management, and how long does treatment typically continue?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSan Qi Clear Lung is intended for use under veterinary supervision as part of a comprehensive EIPH management protocol and can generally be coordinated with conventional EIPH management approaches under your veterinarian's guidance. Because EIPH is typically a long-standing condition, treatment with this formula may be extended or repeated; many horses require several months of consistent use to fully address the underlying Lung Fire and Yin deficiency pattern, with the loading dose maintained for the first 20 days before transitioning to the daily maintenance dose. Your authorizing veterinarian can guide the duration, monitor your horse's response through endoscopy or clinical assessment, and determine whether the formula should be used seasonally, year-round, or in conjunction with other management strategies based on your horse's specific condition and competition schedule.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
