Unlike milder Blood-invigorating herbs such as Dang Gui or Chuan Xiong, which gently nourish and move Blood, San Leng and E Zhu actively break up and dissolve established, stubborn Blood stasis - the kind of deep, persistent stagnation in the reproductive channel system that milder Blood-invigorating herbs cannot fully resolve on their own. This powerful stasis-breaking action is precisely why they are included in Lotus Formula's reproductive channel stasis-clearing strategy. However, this same powerful Blood stasis-breaking action makes San Leng and E Zhu - and the formula as a whole - absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy. In TCVM theory, strongly Blood stasis-breaking herbs can disrupt the Blood's ability to hold and nourish the fetus, potentially leading to miscarriage. Do not use Lotus Formula during pregnancy under any circumstances. Stop administration after artificial insemination, as the formula's Blood-invigorating action is intended for the pre-conception stasis-clearing phase rather than the post-insemination implantation phase. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate timing and use of Lotus Formula relative to breeding or insemination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy do Hai Zao and Kun Bu (seaweed herbs) appear in a reproductive Blood stagnation formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHai Zao (sargassum seaweed) and Kun Bu (laminaria seaweed) are included in Lotus Formula to address the Phlegm-nodule and hardness component of reproductive channel stagnation patterns that can accompany chronic Blood stasis. In TCVM theory, chronic Blood stagnation and Qi constraint in the reproductive channel can give rise to secondary Phlegm-Damp accumulation, which consolidates into nodules, masses, or areas of hardness in the reproductive tissues. Hai Zao and Kun Bu's salty, cold nature gives them a specific affinity for softening hardness and dissolving Phlegm-nodule accumulations that pure Blood-invigorating herbs cannot fully address on their own. This reflects the classical TCVM clinical understanding that established reproductive channel stagnation patterns frequently involve a mixed Blood stasis and Phlegm-nodule component requiring simultaneous Blood stasis resolution and hardness-softening treatment. Because Hai Zao and Kun Bu contain iodine, use this formula under veterinary supervision in animals on thyroid medications.

Based on Huo Xue Yu Zi Tang (Hu and Li, 1989), holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it as a comprehensive TCVM reproductive channel Blood-nourishing and stasis-clearing formula. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Stop administration after artificial insemination. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Lotus Formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Lotus Formula administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eLotus Formula is available as a concentrated 90g powder that mixes into food. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily (1 small level scoop holds approximately 0.25g of powder), or as directed by your veterinarian. For horses, the guideline is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily (1 large level scoop holds approximately 1.2g of powder), or as directed by your veterinarian. One concentrated 90g bottle lasts approximately 2 weeks. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.

Unlike milder Blood-invigorating herbs such as Dang Gui or Chuan Xiong, which gently nourish and move Blood, San Leng and E Zhu actively break up and dissolve established, stubborn Blood stasis - the kind of deep, persistent stagnation in the reproductive channel system that milder Blood-invigorating herbs cannot fully resolve on their own. This powerful stasis-breaking action is precisely why they are included in Lotus Formula's reproductive channel stasis-clearing strategy. However, this same powerful Blood stasis-breaking action makes San Leng and E Zhu - and the formula as a whole - absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy. In TCVM theory, strongly Blood stasis-breaking herbs can disrupt the Blood's ability to hold and nourish the fetus, potentially leading to miscarriage. Do not use Lotus Formula during pregnancy under any circumstances. Stop administration after artificial insemination, as the formula's Blood-invigorating action is intended for the pre-conception stasis-clearing phase rather than the post-insemination implantation phase. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate timing and use of Lotus Formula relative to breeding or insemination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy do Hai Zao and Kun Bu (seaweed herbs) appear in a reproductive Blood stagnation formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHai Zao (sargassum seaweed) and Kun Bu (laminaria seaweed) are included in Lotus Formula to address the Phlegm-nodule and hardness component of reproductive channel stagnation patterns that can accompany chronic Blood stasis. In TCVM theory, chronic Blood stagnation and Qi constraint in the reproductive channel can give rise to secondary Phlegm-Damp accumulation, which consolidates into nodules, masses, or areas of hardness in the reproductive tissues. Hai Zao and Kun Bu's salty, cold nature gives them a specific affinity for softening hardness and dissolving Phlegm-nodule accumulations that pure Blood-invigorating herbs cannot fully address on their own. This reflects the classical TCVM clinical understanding that established reproductive channel stagnation patterns frequently involve a mixed Blood stasis and Phlegm-nodule component requiring simultaneous Blood stasis resolution and hardness-softening treatment. Because Hai Zao and Kun Bu contain iodine, use this formula under veterinary supervision in animals on thyroid medications. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriateness of Lotus Formula for your animal's specific pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
