Based on the classical Hu Qian Wan (Hidden Tiger Pill) from Dan Xi Xin Fa (Teachings of Zhu Dan-xi), written by Zhu Zheng-Heng in 1481, this eight-herb formula pairs a powerful Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) with a principal Yin-nourishing deputy (Shu Di Huang), a dual-action Fire-purging and Yin-nourishing assistant (Zhi Mu), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a Blood-nourishing and sinew-softening herb (Bai Shao Yao), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening herb (Chuan Niu Xi), and two Spleen-protecting herbs (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi) to address both the root Yin deficiency and the deficiency Fire, sinew and bone weakness, and Spleen vulnerability that arise from long-term Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g). Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYin nourishment and Fire purging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Huang Bai powerfully clears Heat and purges Fire from the Kidney and Liver channels as the chief herb, directly addressing the deficiency Fire arising from Yin deficiency;

For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat.

In classical Chinese medicine, strong Fire-purging herbs like Huang Bai and Zhi Mu are cold and bitter in nature, and prolonged use without Spleen protection can damage Spleen Yang and cause digestive upset - which is why the stop-immediately warning for diarrhea and vomiting is included for this formula. By including Gan Jiang and Chen Pi, the formula supports digestion and allows the Fire-purging herbs to be used safely over the longer treatment course recommended for Yin deficiency patterns.

Based on the classical Hu Qian Wan (Hidden Tiger Pill) from Dan Xi Xin Fa (Teachings of Zhu Dan-xi), written by Zhu Zheng-Heng in 1481, this eight-herb formula pairs a powerful Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) with a principal Yin-nourishing deputy (Shu Di Huang), a dual-action Fire-purging and Yin-nourishing assistant (Zhi Mu), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a Blood-nourishing and sinew-softening herb (Bai Shao Yao), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening herb (Chuan Niu Xi), and two Spleen-protecting herbs (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi) to address both the root Yin deficiency and the deficiency Fire, sinew and bone weakness, and Spleen vulnerability that arise from long-term Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g). Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses with hind limb weakness, musculoskeletal patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, or systemic signs of Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire affecting the lower body, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue and a thin, rapid pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hu Qian Wan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Hu Qian Wan 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; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g, and the large 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. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Hu Qian Wan contain warming herbs like Gan Jiang alongside Fire-purging herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGan Jiang (dried ginger) and Chen Pi (tangerine peel) are included specifically to protect the Spleen from the cold, bitter actions of Huang Bai and Zhi Mu. In classical Chinese medicine, strong Fire-purging herbs like Huang Bai and Zhi Mu are cold and bitter in nature, and prolonged use without Spleen protection can damage Spleen Yang and cause digestive upset - which is why the stop-immediately warning for diarrhea and vomiting is included for this formula. By including Gan Jiang and Chen Pi, the formula supports digestion and allows the Fire-purging herbs to be used safely over the longer treatment course recommended for Yin deficiency patterns. This Spleen-protecting strategy is a classical formulation principle seen throughout the Chinese herbal tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Hu Qian Wan be combined with other TCVM formulas or conventional medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHu Qian Wan is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Yin tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating or immunosuppressive medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hu Qian Wan is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. No contraindications are listed for this formula, but stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
