This nine-herb Jing Tang original formula pairs a Heart and Lung Yin-nourishing chief duo (Mai Men Dong, Xuan Shen) with a Shen-calming pair (Suan Zao Ren Sheng, Yuan Zhi), an astringent Yin and fluid-generating herb (Wu Wei Zi), a Blood-nourishing assistant (Dang Gui), a Liver Qi-moving herb (Chai Hu), a Spleen-protecting and Qi-moving herb (Chen Pi), and an upper Jiao-directing envoy (Jie Geng) to address both the root Heart Yin deficiency and the Shen disturbance, restlessness, and anxiety that arise when Heart Yin fails to anchor and nourish the Shen. Available in 90g concentrated powder, 200g powder, and 600g powder. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.

The raw form is more dispersing and has stronger Heat-clearing properties, making it better suited for Heart Yin deficiency patterns where deficiency Heat contributes to Shen disturbance and restlessness. The dry-fried (Chao) form is more astringent and warming, and is more commonly used for patterns of pure Blood and Yin deficiency without a significant Heat component. The use of Suan Zao Ren Sheng in this formula reflects the deficiency Heat component of Heart Yin deficiency patterns, where ascending deficiency Fire is disturbing the Shen alongside the underlying Yin deficiency, making the dispersing and Heat-clearing raw form the more clinically appropriate choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Heart Yin Tonic be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart Yin Tonic is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Heart and Shen support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian.

Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for pets with anxiety-related patterns, restlessness, or systemic signs of Heart Yin deficiency with Shen involvement, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue tip, a thin and rapid pulse, and signs of Heat from Yin deficiency. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Heart Yin Tonic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Heart Yin Tonic 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);\"\u003eDosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; one large level scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Standard powder (200g or 600g) dosing varies by species and condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. When available in capsule format, the general guideline for dogs and cats is one 0.5g capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

The raw form is more dispersing and has stronger Heat-clearing properties, making it better suited for Heart Yin deficiency patterns where deficiency Heat contributes to Shen disturbance and restlessness. The dry-fried (Chao) form is more astringent and warming, and is more commonly used for patterns of pure Blood and Yin deficiency without a significant Heat component. The use of Suan Zao Ren Sheng in this formula reflects the deficiency Heat component of Heart Yin deficiency patterns, where ascending deficiency Fire is disturbing the Shen alongside the underlying Yin deficiency, making the dispersing and Heat-clearing raw form the more clinically appropriate choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Heart Yin Tonic be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart Yin Tonic is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Heart and Shen support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian.
