VETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: Submit Your Authorization Request or Request a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation

What It Supports

Yin and Blood nourishment: Nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Heart and Liver Blood to address the Blood and Yin deficiency underlying chronic skin patterns, supporting the skin's nourishment through the Blood and Yin that moisten and sustain the skin and coat
Wind-Heat clearance: Clears Wind-Heat from the skin channels and surface, addressing the Wind-Heat component of hypersensitive skin patterns that generates itching, redness, and skin reactivity
Hypersensitive skin support: Addresses the Blood and Yin deficiency with Wind-Heat pattern underlying hypersensitive skin presentations, supporting the skin's resilience and reducing the reactivity associated with Blood and Yin deficiency failing to nourish and anchor Wind in the skin channels
Blood invigoration: Invigorates Blood and promotes smooth Blood flow through the skin channels, addressing the Blood stagnation component that often accompanies chronic skin conditions rooted in Blood deficiency

TCVM Principles

Primary action: Nourish Yin and Blood, clear Wind-Heat, and support animals with hypersensitive skin

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Dandruff Formula is a nine-herb modification of Si Wu Tang combining the classical Blood-nourishing base with Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and Blood-invigorating herbs specifically selected for skin patterns rooted in Blood and Yin deficiency with Wind-Heat:

Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared Rehmannia root: Primary Blood-nourishing and Yin-tonifying chief herb; nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood, tonifies Jing, and provides the deep Yin and Blood nourishment that forms the foundation of the formula's Blood-nourishing strategy; more tonifying and warming than raw Rehmannia
Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa) - Raw Rehmannia root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, and nourishes Yin; works with Shu Di Huang as the primary Rehmannia pair, adding Heat-clearing and Blood-cooling action to the deep Yin and Blood nourishment of the prepared form; the dual Rehmannia combination addresses both Yin deficiency and the Heat component of the pattern
Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong Quai root: Nourishes Blood, invigorates Blood, and moistens the skin; the primary Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating herb from the classical Si Wu Tang base, addressing both the Blood deficiency and Blood stagnation components of chronic skin patterns
He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) - Fo-Ti root: Nourishes Liver and Kidney Blood and Yin, and tonifies Jing; works with Shu Di Huang and Dang Gui as the primary Blood and Yin-nourishing trio, providing deep Liver and Kidney Blood nourishment to support the skin's nourishment through the Blood
Ji Xue Teng (Millettia reticulata) - Millettia stem: Nourishes Blood, invigorates Blood, and promotes smooth Blood flow through the channels; works with Dang Gui as the primary Blood-invigorating pair, addressing Blood stagnation in the skin channels that accompanies chronic Blood-deficiency skin patterns
Dan Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) - Red Sage root: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, clears Heat, and cools Blood; addresses the Blood stagnation and Heat components of chronic skin patterns and supports the formula's action on the skin channels through Blood-invigorating and channel-opening properties
Bai Xian Pi (Dictamnus dasycarpus) - Dictamnus root bark: Clears Heat, resolves toxins, expels Wind, and stops itching; one of the two primary Wind-Heat-clearing and itching-stopping herbs in the formula, with a specific affinity for skin patterns involving Wind-Heat and Damp-Heat; a key dermatological herb in the Chinese materia medica
Di Fu Zi (Kochia scoparia) - Kochia fruit: Clears Heat, drains Dampness, expels Wind, and stops itching; works with Bai Xian Pi as the primary Wind-Heat-clearing and itching-stopping pair, addressing the Wind-Heat and Damp-Heat component of hypersensitive skin patterns; the combination of Bai Xian Pi and Di Fu Zi is a classical pairing for skin itching and hypersensitivity
Xuan Shen (Scrophularia ningpoensis) - Scrophularia root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, nourishes Yin, and resolves toxins; bridges the Blood-nourishing and Heat-clearing actions of the formula, addressing the Yin deficiency and Blood Heat component while supporting the overall strategy of nourishing Yin and Blood while clearing Wind-Heat from the skin channels

Potential Drug Interactions

Dandruff Formula contains Blood-nourishing and Yin-tonifying herbs (Shu Di Huang, Sheng Di Huang, Dang Gui, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs (Dan Shen, Dang Gui) and Wind-Heat-clearing herbs (Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, Xuan Shen). Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, concurrent dermatological medications, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dandruff Formula used for in TCVM?

Dandruff Formula (Qu Xie Fang) is used in TCVM for Blood and Yin deficiency with Wind-Heat patterns in the skin - a presentation common in dogs, cats, and horses with chronic skin dryness, flaking, itching, dandruff, and hypersensitive skin reactions. In TCVM, these signs arise when insufficient Blood and Yin fail to nourish and moisten the skin, leaving it dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat; Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind (Blood failing to anchor Wind), which rises to the skin and generates itching from within. Dandruff Formula addresses both the deficiency root and the Wind-Heat manifestation simultaneously.

How is Dandruff Formula administered and dosed?

For horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For the 0.5g capsule format, give one capsule per 20 to 40 lb body weight twice daily; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, give one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix powder into food or hide capsules in a soft treat. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

What is the classical Si Wu Tang and how does Dandruff Formula relate to it?

Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) is one of the most celebrated classical Blood-nourishing formulas in Chinese medicine, from Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang (1080). The classical four herbs are Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao (White Peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum). Dandruff Formula is a modification of this classical base, retaining the Blood-nourishing strategy while adding Sheng Di Huang, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng, Dan Shen, Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, and Xuan Shen to extend the formula's action to Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and skin-specific Blood-invigorating functions. This reflects the classical TCVM approach of using Si Wu Tang as a Blood-nourishing foundation and adding targeted herbs for the specific pattern and organ system.

Why does a skin formula focus on nourishing Blood and Yin rather than only clearing Wind-Heat?

In TCVM, chronic skin conditions involving dryness, flaking, itching, and hypersensitivity often stem from Blood and Yin deficiency rather than excess Wind-Heat alone. When Blood and Yin are insufficient, the skin loses nourishment and moisture, becoming dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat invasion. Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind - Blood failing to nourish and anchor Wind - which rises to the skin and generates itching and hypersensitivity from within rather than from an external pathogen. Dandruff Formula addresses both by nourishing the Blood and Yin that root the skin dryness and Wind-Heat susceptibility, while clearing the Wind-Heat that has already accumulated in the skin channels. Treating only the Wind-Heat without nourishing the underlying Blood and Yin deficiency would provide incomplete and temporary relief.

The classical four herbs are Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao (White Peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum). Dandruff Formula is a modification of this classical base, retaining the Blood-nourishing strategy while adding Sheng Di Huang, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng, Dan Shen, Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, and Xuan Shen to extend the formula's action to Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and skin-specific Blood-invigorating functions.

When Blood and Yin are insufficient, the skin loses nourishment and moisture, becoming dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat invasion. Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind - Blood failing to nourish and anchor Wind - which rises to the skin and generates itching and hypersensitivity from within rather than from an external pathogen. Dandruff Formula addresses both by nourishing the Blood and Yin that root the skin dryness and Wind-Heat susceptibility, while clearing the Wind-Heat that has already accumulated in the skin channels. Treating only the Wind-Heat without nourishing the underlying Blood and Yin deficiency would provide incomplete and temporary relief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T16:51:39-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T16:51:38-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Immune","Health_Need_Skin_and_Coat","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Dandruff","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11590,"price_min":11590,"price_max":14500,"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":45926213288006,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A2046C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":13995250155590,"product_id":8486360580166,"position":2,"created_at":"2020-05-28T05:33:24-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:13:08-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Dandruff Formula Concentrated 90g Powder -

In TCVM, these signs arise when insufficient Blood and Yin fail to nourish and moisten the skin, leaving it dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat; Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind (Blood failing to anchor Wind), which rises to the skin and generates itching from within.

The classical four herbs are Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao (White Peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum). Dandruff Formula is a modification of this classical base, retaining the Blood-nourishing strategy while adding Sheng Di Huang, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng, Dan Shen, Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, and Xuan Shen to extend the formula's action to Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and skin-specific Blood-invigorating functions. This reflects the classical TCVM approach of using Si Wu Tang as a Blood-nourishing foundation and adding targeted herbs for the specific pattern and organ system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does a skin formula focus on nourishing Blood and Yin rather than only clearing Wind-Heat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIn TCVM, chronic skin conditions involving dryness, flaking, itching, and hypersensitivity often stem from Blood and Yin deficiency rather than excess Wind-Heat alone. When Blood and Yin are insufficient, the skin loses nourishment and moisture, becoming dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat invasion. Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind - Blood failing to nourish and anchor Wind - which rises to the skin and generates itching and hypersensitivity from within rather than from an external pathogen. Dandruff Formula addresses both by nourishing the Blood and Yin that root the skin dryness and Wind-Heat susceptibility, while clearing the Wind-Heat that has already accumulated in the skin channels. Treating only the Wind-Heat without nourishing the underlying Blood and Yin deficiency would provide incomplete and temporary relief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
