Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hot Hoof For Mom is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Damp-Heat from the Liver, moves Qi, activates Blood, and resolves stagnation to address patterns of Liver Damp-Heat accumulation with Qi and Blood stagnation in dogs, cats, and horses. Formulated with a specific focus on the Liver Damp-Heat, Qi stagnation, and Blood stagnation pattern associated with hepatic and reproductive stagnation presentations - including postpartum and broodmare reproductive support in horses - this ten-herb formula combines a Liver Qi-moving and Damp-Heat-clearing foundation (Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Chen Pi, Yin Chen Hao), a Blood-activating and stagnation-resolving layer (Dang Gui, Chi Shao, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo), a Damp-Heat-purging and Blood-invigorating herb (Da Huang), and a Lung-opening and Qi-distributing herb (Jie Geng) to address the complex Liver Damp-Heat and Qi-Blood stagnation pattern from multiple simultaneous angles. Available as a concentrated 90g powder. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. No contraindications are listed for this formula. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Hot Hoof For Mom is a ten-herb formula organized around a Liver Damp-Heat-clearing and Liver Qi-moving foundation (Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Chen Pi, Yin Chen Hao), a Blood-activating and stagnation-resolving layer (Dang Gui, Chi Shao, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo), a Damp-Heat-purging and Blood-invigorating herb (Da Huang), and a Lung-opening and Qi-distributing guiding herb (Jie Geng):
Hot Hoof For Mom contains Blood-invigorating herbs including Dang Gui (Chinese angelica root), Chi Shao (red peony root), Mo Yao (myrrh resin), Yan Hu Suo (corydalis rhizome), and Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb root); Liver Qi-moving herbs including Chai Hu (thoroughwax root), Qing Pi (green tangerine peel), and Chen Pi (tangerine peel); a Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat-clearing herb (Yin Chen Hao); and a purgative herb (Da Huang). Dang Gui, Chi Shao, and Mo Yao may affect platelet aggregation and interact with anticoagulant medications; Yan Hu Suo's isoquinoline alkaloids may interact with hepatically metabolized medications and CNS-affecting drugs; Da Huang's anthraquinone constituents may affect electrolyte balance and interact with cardiac medications; Chai Hu may affect hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme activity; Yin Chen Hao may affect bile secretion and interact with medications metabolized hepatically. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Dogs, cats, and horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in these species remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, CNS-affecting medications, hepatically metabolized medications, cardiac medications, and animals managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Hot Hoof For Mom is indicated for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Liver Damp-Heat accumulation with Qi and Blood stagnation, where Damp-Heat in the Liver and Gallbladder channels has constrained Liver Qi, leading to secondary Qi and Blood stagnation. In horses specifically, holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it to support the Liver Damp-Heat and Qi-Blood stagnation pattern associated with postpartum and broodmare reproductive stagnation presentations. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hot Hoof For Mom.
Hot Hoof For Mom 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 0.3g 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. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
In TCVM pattern theory, Qi and Blood stagnation are mutually reinforcing: Liver Qi constraint impairs the smooth circulation of Blood through the Liver channel, leading to Blood stagnation; and Blood stagnation further obstructs Qi movement, worsening the Liver Qi constraint. Hot Hoof For Mom addresses this mutually reinforcing cycle by simultaneously moving Liver Qi (Chai Hu, Qing Pi, Chen Pi) and activating Blood and resolving Blood stagnation (Dang Gui, Chi Shao, Mo Yao, Yan Hu Suo). Treating only the Qi stagnation without addressing the Blood stagnation would leave the established Blood stasis unresolved; treating only the Blood stagnation without addressing the Liver Qi constraint root would allow the stagnation to recur once the Blood-invigorating herbs are discontinued. Yan Hu Suo is particularly important in this formula because it simultaneously moves both Qi and Blood, bridging the formula's Qi-moving and Blood-invigorating layers and addressing the Qi-Blood stagnation cycle at both levels concurrently, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Jie Geng is included in Hot Hoof For Mom as a guiding herb (Shi Yao) rather than as a primary therapeutic herb, reflecting a classical Chinese medicine formulation strategy of using a directing herb to guide the formula's actions to the appropriate level and channel system. Jie Geng's ascending, Lung-opening, and Qi-distributing nature provides the upward-distributing counterbalance to Da Huang's strong downward-purging and Damp-Heat-draining action, ensuring that the formula's Qi-moving and stagnation-resolving strategy operates through both the upper and lower Jiao pathways rather than only descending. This ascending-descending balance reflects the classical TCVM principle that effective Qi movement requires both upward distribution and downward drainage to restore smooth Qi circulation through the full channel system; a formula with only downward-draining herbs risks creating a one-directional Qi movement that may not fully restore the free flow of Liver Qi through all affected channels, or as directed by your veterinarian.
