In TCVM, Intestinal Damp-Heat arises when pathogenic Damp and Heat accumulate in the Large Intestine channel and disrupt normal intestinal Qi flow, driving the loose, watery, or mucoid stools, intestinal inflammation, and digestive signs associated with this pattern. The formula's three herbs address the Damp-Heat directly (Huang Lian), resolve the secondary Qi stagnation (Chuan Mu Xiang), and protect the Stomach from the cold nature of the treatment (Wu Zhu Yu).

This herb pairing - Huang Lian and Wu Zhu Yu - is known in classical Chinese medicine as Zuo Jin Wan (Left Metal Pill), one of the most celebrated two-herb combinations in the entire Chinese materia medica. In classical theory, Huang Lian's intensely cold nature is essential for clearing the intestinal Damp-Heat but risks damaging the Stomach Yang and causing Rebellious Qi (nausea, vomiting) if used without modification. Wu Zhu Yu's warm, acrid, downward-directing nature counterbalances this cold damage risk, protects the Stomach Yang, and directs Rebellious Qi downward to prevent nausea and vomiting - making the formula safe for the digestive system while preserving Huang Lian's full Damp-Heat-clearing efficacy. The presence of Wu Zhu Yu reflects the depth of classical Chinese medical formulation strategy: not simply adding herbs for their actions, but carefully balancing the thermal properties of the formula to protect the patient while treating the pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is Da Xiang Lian Wan and what is its classical source?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDa Xiang Lian Wan (Great Saussurea Coptis Pill) is a classical three-herb formula from Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang (Imperial Grace Formulary of the Tai Ping Era), the same imperial formulary that is the source of the Si Wu Tang base. Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang was compiled by Chen Shi-Wen and others under imperial commission during the Northern Song dynasty and published in 1080, making it one of the earliest and most authoritative official government formularies in the history of Chinese medicine. The formula's name reflects its two chief ingredients: Da (Great\/Large) refers to its amplified action, Xiang refers to Mu Xiang (Wood Fragrance\/Saussurea root), and Lian refers to Huang Lian (Coptis). Together, the name encapsulates the formula's two-pronged strategy of Qi-moving (Mu Xiang) and Heat-clearing (Huang Lian) for Intestinal Damp-Heat with Qi stagnation, a clinical pattern that remains one of the most common presentations in small-animal TCVM practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-05-26T13:38:42-05:00","created_at":"2026-05-22T08:36:08-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Digestive","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Great Saussurea Coptis","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":13770,"price_min":13770,"price_max":13770,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":15300,"compare_at_price_min":15300,"compare_at_price_max":15300,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45075723681862,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E2181C-90S","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Great Saussurea Coptis Concentrated 90g Powder **ON SALE**","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":13770,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":15300,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-concentrated-powder-herbs_d60e921a-827e-44c2-b4a7-14da8f990042.jpg?v=1631812514"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-concentrated-powder-herbs_d60e921a-827e-44c2-b4a7-14da8f990042.jpg?v=1631812514","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang Great Saussurea Coptis Concentrated 90g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":5893677678662,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-concentrated-powder-herbs_d60e921a-827e-44c2-b4a7-14da8f990042.jpg?v=1631812514"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-concentrated-powder-herbs_d60e921a-827e-44c2-b4a7-14da8f990042.jpg?v=1631812514","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/2110\/5457\/files\/veterinary_authorizaton_required_for_tcvm_herbal_formulas_240x240.jpg?v=1787081808\" alt=\"Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px; float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGreat Saussurea Coptis is a Jing Tang TCVM herbal formula recommended by holistic veterinarians to clear Damp-Heat, move Qi, and resolve stagnation in dogs and horses.

In TCVM, Intestinal Damp-Heat arises when pathogenic Damp and Heat accumulate in the Large Intestine channel and disrupt normal intestinal Qi flow, driving the loose, watery, or mucoid stools, intestinal inflammation, and digestive signs associated with this pattern. The formula's three herbs address the Damp-Heat directly (Huang Lian), resolve the secondary Qi stagnation (Chuan Mu Xiang), and protect the Stomach from the cold nature of the treatment (Wu Zhu Yu).

This herb pairing - Huang Lian and Wu Zhu Yu - is known in classical Chinese medicine as Zuo Jin Wan (Left Metal Pill), one of the most celebrated two-herb combinations in the entire Chinese materia medica. In classical theory, Huang Lian's intensely cold nature is essential for clearing the intestinal Damp-Heat but risks damaging the Stomach Yang and causing Rebellious Qi (nausea, vomiting) if used without modification. Wu Zhu Yu's warm, acrid, downward-directing nature counterbalances this cold damage risk, protects the Stomach Yang, and directs Rebellious Qi downward to prevent nausea and vomiting - making the formula safe for the digestive system while preserving Huang Lian's full Damp-Heat-clearing efficacy. The presence of Wu Zhu Yu reflects the depth of classical Chinese medical formulation strategy: not simply adding herbs for their actions, but carefully balancing the thermal properties of the formula to protect the patient while treating the pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is Da Xiang Lian Wan and what is its classical source?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDa Xiang Lian Wan (Great Saussurea Coptis Pill) is a classical three-herb formula from Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang (Imperial Grace Formulary of the Tai Ping Era), the same imperial formulary that is the source of the Si Wu Tang base. Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang was compiled by Chen Shi-Wen and others under imperial commission during the Northern Song dynasty and published in 1080, making it one of the earliest and most authoritative official government formularies in the history of Chinese medicine. The formula's name reflects its two chief ingredients: Da (Great\/Large) refers to its amplified action, Xiang refers to Mu Xiang (Wood Fragrance\/Saussurea root), and Lian refers to Huang Lian (Coptis). Together, the name encapsulates the formula's two-pronged strategy of Qi-moving (Mu Xiang) and Heat-clearing (Huang Lian) for Intestinal Damp-Heat with Qi stagnation, a clinical pattern that remains one of the most common presentations in small-animal TCVM practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
