In TCVM, Blood Heat is a specific pathological pattern distinct from the more superficial Qi-level Heat: when Heat enters the Blood, it agitates the Blood, forces it to move chaotically or extravasate, consumes the Yin and Fluids, and drives Heat toxin to accumulate in the channels and tissues where it manifests as skin eruptions, redness, inflammatory nodules, and systemic heat signs.

Sheng Di Huang is the raw, unprocessed form - it is cold in nature, enters the Heart, Liver, and Kidney channels, and has a primary action of cooling Blood, clearing Heat, and nourishing Yin; its cold nature makes it specifically appropriate for Blood Heat patterns where pathogenic Heat needs to be cleared from the Blood level. Shu Di Huang is prepared by steaming Rehmannia root with wine repeatedly until it becomes warm in nature; this processing transforms its primary action from Blood-cooling to Blood-nourishing and Kidney Yin and Essence-tonifying, making it appropriate for Blood deficiency and Kidney Yin deficiency patterns without Heat. Blood Heat Formula uses Sheng Di Huang specifically because the formula is targeting Blood Heat, where the raw, cooling form of Rehmannia is required to cool the Blood and clear the Heat; using Shu Di Huang in a Blood Heat formula would be inappropriate because its warm, tonifying nature could aggravate the existing Heat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Blood Heat Formula differ from other Jing Tang formulas that also clear Heat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBlood Heat Formula is specifically designed for Heat that has penetrated to the Blood level (Xue Fen) - the deepest of the four levels of the Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue (Defensive-Qi-Nutritive-Blood) model used in Chinese medicine to describe the depth of Heat invasion. Many TCVM Heat-clearing formulas target Heat at the Qi level (the third level), addressing fever, inflammation, and Heat in the organs and channels, but do not specifically cool Blood or address Blood-level Heat patterns. Blood Heat Formula's composition - centered on Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mu Dan Pi, and Chi Shao as the Blood-cooling core - reflects the classical strategy for Blood-level Heat treatment, which requires herbs that specifically cool Blood and nourish the Yin consumed by deep Heat invasion rather than simply clearing Heat from the Qi level. The formula's nodule-resolving action through Xuan Shen and Yu Jin further distinguishes it as a formula for the chronic sequelae of Blood Heat, where Heat toxin has accumulated into palpable tissue changes\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T15:32:28-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T15:32:27-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Blood Heat","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":8998,"price_min":8998,"price_max":14145,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45925653381190,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E2044C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5912054628401,"product_id":8486335742022,"position":2,"created_at":"2019-05-01T15:02:07-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:20:38-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Blood Heat Formula Concentrated 90g Powder -

In TCVM, Blood Heat is a specific pathological pattern distinct from the more superficial Qi-level Heat: when Heat enters the Blood, it agitates the Blood, forces it to move chaotically or extravasate, consumes the Yin and Fluids, and drives Heat toxin to accumulate in the channels and tissues where it manifests as skin eruptions, redness, inflammatory nodules, and systemic heat signs. Chronic Blood Heat toxin accumulation can condense into Phlegm-Heat nodules in the subcutaneous tissues. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Blood Heat Formula administered and dosed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g.

Sheng Di Huang is the raw, unprocessed form - it is cold in nature, enters the Heart, Liver, and Kidney channels, and has a primary action of cooling Blood, clearing Heat, and nourishing Yin; its cold nature makes it specifically appropriate for Blood Heat patterns where pathogenic Heat needs to be cleared from the Blood level. Shu Di Huang is prepared by steaming Rehmannia root with wine repeatedly until it becomes warm in nature; this processing transforms its primary action from Blood-cooling to Blood-nourishing and Kidney Yin and Essence-tonifying, making it appropriate for Blood deficiency and Kidney Yin deficiency patterns without Heat. Blood Heat Formula uses Sheng Di Huang specifically because the formula is targeting Blood Heat, where the raw, cooling form of Rehmannia is required to cool the Blood and clear the Heat; using Shu Di Huang in a Blood Heat formula would be inappropriate because its warm, tonifying nature could aggravate the existing Heat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Blood Heat Formula differ from other Jing Tang formulas that also clear Heat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBlood Heat Formula is specifically designed for Heat that has penetrated to the Blood level (Xue Fen) - the deepest of the four levels of the Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue (Defensive-Qi-Nutritive-Blood) model used in Chinese medicine to describe the depth of Heat invasion. Many TCVM Heat-clearing formulas target Heat at the Qi level (the third level), addressing fever, inflammation, and Heat in the organs and channels, but do not specifically cool Blood or address Blood-level Heat patterns. Blood Heat Formula's composition - centered on Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mu Dan Pi, and Chi Shao as the Blood-cooling core - reflects the classical strategy for Blood-level Heat treatment, which requires herbs that specifically cool Blood and nourish the Yin consumed by deep Heat invasion rather than simply clearing Heat from the Qi level. The formula's nodule-resolving action through Xuan Shen and Yu Jin further distinguishes it as a formula for the chronic sequelae of Blood Heat, where Heat toxin has accumulated into palpable tissue changes\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
