In TCVM, the Lung and Kidney have a critical functional relationship through Qi: the Lung descends Qi to the Kidney, and the Kidney receives and holds the Qi sent down by the Lung. When either organ is deficient, this Lung-Kidney Qi exchange is disrupted, generating chronic breathlessness, particularly on exertion, wheezing, and reduced respiratory capacity. Breathe Easier B addresses this combined Lung-Kidney pattern more comprehensively than formulas that target only Lung Qi deficiency.

Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji is one of the most important classical Chinese veterinary medicine texts specifically focused on equine medicine - a fitting source for a respiratory formula used in horses. The classical Ge Jie San traditionally uses Ge Jie (Gecko) as its chief herb, valued in TCVM for its potent Lung and Kidney Yang-tonifying and Qi-receiving properties. Jing Tang's Breathe Easier B modification replaces or supplements the traditional chief with a broader combination of Lung-Kidney tonifying, Yin-nourishing, and Qi-descending herbs appropriate for the combined Lung-Kidney Qi and Yin deficiency pattern it addresses in companion animal and equine patients.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Breathe Easier B include Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark) in a respiratory formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRou Gui (Cinnamon bark) is included in Breathe Easier B specifically to warm and strengthen Kidney Yang and restore the Kidney's ability to receive and hold the Qi descended by the Lung - a function called납Qi납 or receiving Qi in TCVM. In the Lung-Kidney Qi relationship, the Kidney's Yang-powered receiving function is just as important as the Lung's descending function: if the Kidney Yang is insufficient, the Kidney cannot grasp the Qi sent down by the Lung, and the Qi rebels upward, generating chronic breathlessness and wheezing that worsen on exertion. Rou Gui's warming, anchoring action on the Kidney Yang directly addresses this receiving failure, making it a classical addition to respiratory formulas for Lung-Kidney Qi deficiency patterns where Kidney Yang deficiency is a contributing factor. This is why formulas for chronic respiratory conditions with a Kidney component often include a warming Kidney Yang herb alongside the Lung-targeted herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T15:48:03-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T15:48:01-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Respiratory","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Herb_Type_Powder","Jing Tang Breathe Easier","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":9058,"price_min":9058,"price_max":18900,"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":45925786288198,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"F0082BC-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5939506053169,"product_id":8486342688838,"position":3,"created_at":"2019-05-07T17:29:57-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:26:36-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Breathe Easier B Concentrated 90g Powder -

When either organ is deficient, this Lung-Kidney Qi exchange is disrupted, generating chronic breathlessness, particularly on exertion, wheezing, and reduced respiratory capacity.

Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji is one of the most important classical Chinese veterinary medicine texts specifically focused on equine medicine - a fitting source for a respiratory formula used in horses. The classical Ge Jie San traditionally uses Ge Jie (Gecko) as its chief herb, valued in TCVM for its potent Lung and Kidney Yang-tonifying and Qi-receiving properties. Jing Tang's Breathe Easier B modification replaces or supplements the traditional chief with a broader combination of Lung-Kidney tonifying, Yin-nourishing, and Qi-descending herbs appropriate for the combined Lung-Kidney Qi and Yin deficiency pattern it addresses in companion animal and equine patients.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Breathe Easier B include Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark) in a respiratory formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRou Gui (Cinnamon bark) is included in Breathe Easier B specifically to warm and strengthen Kidney Yang and restore the Kidney's ability to receive and hold the Qi descended by the Lung - a function called납Qi납 or receiving Qi in TCVM. In the Lung-Kidney Qi relationship, the Kidney's Yang-powered receiving function is just as important as the Lung's descending function: if the Kidney Yang is insufficient, the Kidney cannot grasp the Qi sent down by the Lung, and the Qi rebels upward, generating chronic breathlessness and wheezing that worsen on exertion. Rou Gui's warming, anchoring action on the Kidney Yang directly addresses this receiving failure, making it a classical addition to respiratory formulas for Lung-Kidney Qi deficiency patterns where Kidney Yang deficiency is a contributing factor. This is why formulas for chronic respiratory conditions with a Kidney component often include a warming Kidney Yang herb alongside the Lung-targeted herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
