Jing Tang Mume Formula Concentrated 90g Powder

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Mume Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Heat, detoxifies, supports normal digestion, and helps with occasional loose stool in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Wu Mei San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses) written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608, a foundational classical text of Chinese veterinary medicine specifically authored for equine clinical practice, this three-herb formula combines Huang Lian (coptis rhizome) to clear Damp-Heat and resolve Heat-toxin from the Intestines, Wu Mei (mume plum fruit) to astringently stop diarrhea and generate fluids, and He Zi (terminalia fruit) to further astringently bind the Intestines and support the descension of turbid Qi from the digestive tract. Available as a concentrated 90g powder. No contraindications are listed. Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Intestinal Damp-Heat clearance and Heat-toxin resolution: Huang Lian (coptis rhizome) is the formula's chief Heat-clearing and toxin-resolving herb, with a bitter and cold nature and a specific affinity for the Heart, Stomach, and Large Intestine channels; Huang Lian is one of the most important herbs in classical Chinese medicine for clearing Damp-Heat from the Intestines and resolving Heat-toxin-driven intestinal pathology; its berberine constituent provides broad antimicrobial activity against the bacterial and protozoal pathogens commonly associated with Damp-Heat diarrhea in both equine and small animal presentations; Huang Lian's Heat-clearing and toxin-resolving action addresses the underlying Damp-Heat pattern that drives the loose stool presentation, distinguishing this formula's mechanism from purely symptomatic astringing approaches
  • Intestinal astringing and antidiarrheal support: Wu Mei (mume plum fruit) astringes the Intestines, stops diarrhea, generates fluids, and clears mild Heat from the Intestines with a sour, astringent, and slightly warm nature and a broad affinity for the Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Large Intestine channels; Wu Mei is one of the most classical antidiarrheal herbs in both human and veterinary TCVM practice and is the formula's namesake and chief astringing herb, providing the primary astringing hemostatic and antidiarrheal action that binds the Intestines and stops fluid loss; He Zi (terminalia chebula fruit) further astringes the Intestines and stops diarrhea with a sour, astringent, and neutral nature and a specific affinity for the Lung and Large Intestine channels; He Zi reinforces Wu Mei's astringing antidiarrheal action while also descending Lung Qi and addressing any Lung channel component of the digestive pattern through the Lung-Large Intestine interior-exterior channel relationship; together Wu Mei and He Zi form the formula's astringing and antidiarrheal layer, working alongside Huang Lian's Heat-clearing action to provide both root treatment (clearing the Damp-Heat pathogen) and branch treatment (astringing the Intestines and stopping fluid loss) simultaneously

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Mume Formula is a three-herb formula based on Wu Mei San from the classical equine veterinary text Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608), combining a chief Damp-Heat-clearing and Heat-toxin-resolving herb (Huang Lian) with two astringing and antidiarrheal herbs (Wu Mei, He Zi) to address Intestinal Damp-Heat presentations with loose stool through simultaneous root treatment and branch treatment:

  • He Zi (Terminalia chebula) - Terminalia fruit: Astringes the Intestines, stops diarrhea, descends Lung Qi, and astringes the throat and vocal cords; the formula's secondary astringing and antidiarrheal herb, with a sour, astringent, and neutral nature and a specific affinity for the Lung and Large Intestine channels; He Zi reinforces Wu Mei's astringing antidiarrheal action while simultaneously addressing the Lung channel component of the digestive pattern through the classical Lung-Large Intestine interior-exterior channel relationship; He Zi's chebulic acid and gallic acid tannin constituents provide both classical TCVM astringing and antidiarrheal action and documented antimicrobial, antioxidant, and intestinal motility-modulating pharmacological activity
  • Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis) - Coptis rhizome: Clears Heat, resolves toxicity, clears Damp-Heat from the Intestines, and drains Fire; the formula's chief Heat-clearing and toxin-resolving herb and the herb that addresses the underlying Damp-Heat pathogen driving the loose stool presentation; Huang Lian's bitter, very cold nature and its specific affinity for the Heart, Stomach, and Large Intestine channels make it the most important single herb in the Chinese materia medica for clearing Intestinal Damp-Heat; Huang Lian's berberine constituent provides both classical TCVM Damp-Heat-clearing and toxin-resolving action and one of the most extensively documented pharmacological activity profiles in the Chinese materia medica, including broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacterial and protozoal intestinal pathogens, intestinal epithelial barrier protection, and anti-inflammatory activity; the classical equine text Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji's inclusion of Huang Lian as the formula's primary Heat-clearing herb reflects its centuries-long veterinary application for Heat-toxin-driven intestinal presentations in horses
  • Wu Mei (Prunus mume) - Mume plum fruit: Astringes the Intestines, stops diarrhea, generates fluids, expels roundworms, and clears mild Heat; the formula's namesake chief astringing and antidiarrheal herb, with a sour, astringent, and slightly warm nature and a broad affinity for the Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Large Intestine channels; Wu Mei is one of the most classical and widely used antidiarrheal herbs in both human and veterinary TCVM practice, combining a strong astringing action that binds the Intestines and stops fluid loss with mild Heat-clearing and fluid-generating actions that address the dehydrating and Heat-generating consequence of prolonged diarrhea; Wu Mei's citric acid, malic acid, and triterpene constituents provide both classical TCVM astringing and antidiarrheal action and documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal motility-modulating pharmacological activity

Potential Drug Interactions

Mume Formula contains Huang Lian (coptis rhizome), whose berberine constituent may interact with medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, blood glucose-affecting medications (berberine has documented blood glucose-lowering activity), and antibiotic medications through additive or synergistic antimicrobial effects. He Zi and Wu Mei contain tannin and organic acid constituents that may bind to and reduce the absorption of certain medications when administered concurrently; administer at least 2 hours apart from other medications where concurrent absorption is a concern. No contraindications or warnings are listed for this formula beyond the clinical monitoring warning to stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop. 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 blood glucose-affecting medications, antibiotic medications, medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, and animals managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TCVM understanding of the loose stool pattern that Mume Formula addresses?

In TCVM theory, loose stool and occasional diarrhea arising from a Damp-Heat pattern in the Intestines is characterized by the accumulation of pathogenic Heat and Dampness in the Large Intestine channel, impairing the Intestine's function of separating the clear from the turbid and leading to the passage of loose, frequent, or Heat-tinged stools. Huang Lian specifically addresses the Damp-Heat pathogen in the Large Intestine channel through its bitter, cold, and drying action; Wu Mei and He Zi address the Intestine's failure to astringe and bind the stool through their sour and astringing action on the Large Intestine channel. The classical antecedent Wu Mei San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608) reflects centuries of classical veterinary clinical experience with this pattern specifically in horses, making it one of the few TCVM formulas whose original classical source is a veterinary rather than human medicine text. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM digestive pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.

How is Mume Formula administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Mume Formula is available as a concentrated 90g powder that mixes into food or feed. The bottle comes with a double-sided scoop: the small end holds approximately 0.25g, and the large end holds approximately 1.2g. For dogs and cats, the guideline is approximately 0.5g per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily (approximately 2 small level scoops per 20 to 40 lbs), or as directed by your veterinarian. For horses, the guideline is 3g (approximately 2.5 large level scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. One 90g bottle lasts approximately 2 weeks. Stop administration immediately if diarrhea becomes worse or other unusual signs develop. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and duration for your animal.

What makes the Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608) significant as the classical source for Mume Formula?

Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by brothers Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608 during the Ming dynasty, is one of the most important surviving texts of classical Chinese veterinary medicine and one of the few comprehensive equine veterinary medical texts from the classical period that has been preserved and studied into the modern era. Unlike most classical TCVM formulas whose antecedent texts are human medicine sources (the Shang Han Lun, Jin Gui Yao Lue, or Wen Bing texts), Wu Mei San's source in a classical equine veterinary text reflects a specifically veterinary clinical tradition for this digestive formula that predates modern veterinary TCVM practice by over four centuries. The fact that Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng documented this formula in a specifically equine clinical context gives Mume Formula a particularly strong clinical lineage for equine digestive presentations - the formula was observed in horses, refined in horses, and recorded in the context of horse medicine, making it a foundational formula in classical equine TCVM practice. Your authorizing veterinarian can provide further context about the formula's clinical application in modern veterinary TCVM practice.

How does Mume Formula differ from other TCVM digestive formulas, and when is it specifically appropriate?

Mume Formula is distinguished from other TCVM digestive formulas by its tight three-herb composition combining simultaneous Damp-Heat clearance and Intestinal astringing in a single compact formula, and by its specific classical veterinary equine lineage from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (1608). Many TCVM digestive formulas address either the Heat-clearing and pattern-resolution component (without significant astringing action) or the astringing and antidiarrheal component (without significant Heat-clearing action), but Mume Formula's three-herb structure specifically combines Huang Lian's Damp-Heat clearance with Wu Mei and He Zi's Intestinal astringing action in a single formula designed for Damp-Heat diarrhea presentations where both the pathogen and the symptom require simultaneous treatment. It is most specifically appropriate when the loose stool presentation is associated with the TCVM pattern of Intestinal Damp-Heat, characterized by loose or watery stools with a Heat component rather than Cold-deficiency diarrhea; it is not the primary formula for Cold-type diarrhea, Spleen Qi deficiency diarrhea, or diarrhea associated with Liver invading Spleen patterns. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate digestive formula based on your animal's specific TCVM pattern diagnosis, or as directed by your veterinarian.
