Based on the classical Fu Fang Dan Shen Pian, this three-herb formula combines the potent Blood-invigorating and stagnation-resolving actions of Dan Shen (Red Sage), the hemostatic and Blood-invigorating properties of Tian San Qi (Notoginseng), and the aromatic channel-opening action of Bing Pian (Borneol) to address Blood and Qi stagnation patterns, particularly in the Heart and cardiovascular channels. Available in a 600g Powder, 0.2g Capsules (100 count), and 0.5g Capsules (200 count). This is a standard non-concentrated formula; doses are significantly higher than concentrated Jing Tang formulas. Use for one month on, then one month off, for a 6-month period.

The formula is particularly valued for its combined Blood-invigorating and channel-opening actions, making it appropriate for stagnation patterns with a prominent Heart and cardiovascular component.

In Compound Dan Shen, Bing Pian functions as a courier herb (shi yao), guiding the Blood-invigorating actions of Dan Shen and Tian San Qi rapidly into the Heart and cardiovascular channels through its aromatic penetrating quality. Aromatic substances in TCVM are understood to open blocked channels and orifices, allowing other herbs to reach their target organ systems more effectively.

Continuous use of potent Blood-invigorating herbs over extended periods without cycling can over-consume Blood and Qi, potentially leading to Blood and Qi deficiency in some patients. The cycling schedule allows the body to restore and consolidate Blood and Qi during the off month, preventing the depletion that can occur with uninterrupted use of Blood-moving formulas. Your veterinarian may adjust the cycling schedule based on your pet's condition, constitution, and response to the formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T16:19:44-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T16:19:43-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Cardiovascular","Herb_Type_Capsule","Herb_Type_Powder","Jing Tang Compound Dan Shen","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":8998,"price_min":8998,"price_max":18625,"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":45926043811910,"title":"600g Powder","option1":"600g Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B2130-600","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5939615662129,"product_id":8486350323782,"position":2,"created_at":"2019-05-07T17:57:42-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:08:51-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Coix Formula Teapills #200 -

In Compound Dan Shen, Bing Pian functions as a courier herb (shi yao), guiding the Blood-invigorating actions of Dan Shen and Tian San Qi rapidly into the Heart and cardiovascular channels through its aromatic penetrating quality. Aromatic substances in TCVM are understood to open blocked channels and orifices, allowing other herbs to reach their target organ systems more effectively. The classical Fu Fang Dan Shen Pian formulation specifically includes Bing Pian for this channel-opening function, making it a distinguishing feature of this formula compared to single-herb Dan Shen preparations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Compound Dan Shen use a cycling dosing schedule rather than continuous use?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe one-month-on\/one-month-off cycling schedule for Compound Dan Shen reflects the TCVM approach to potent Blood-invigorating formulas used for long-term stagnation management. Continuous use of potent Blood-invigorating herbs over extended periods without cycling can over-consume Blood and Qi, potentially leading to Blood and Qi deficiency in some patients. The cycling schedule allows the body to restore and consolidate Blood and Qi during the off month, preventing the depletion that can occur with uninterrupted use of Blood-moving formulas. Your veterinarian may adjust the cycling schedule based on your pet's condition, constitution, and response to the formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
