Jing Tang Shao Fu Zhu Yu Concentrated 90g Powder

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Shao Fu Zhu Yu is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that invigorates Qi and Blood and resolves stagnation to address the TCVM pattern of Blood stasis and Cold accumulation in the lower abdomen and lower Jiao in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang from Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Corrections of Errors Among Physicians) written by Wang Qing-Ren in 1830, a foundational text of the Blood stasis school of classical Chinese medicine, this nine-herb formula combines a comprehensive Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving layer (Dang Gui, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Tao Ren, Pu Huang, Yan Hu Suo) with a warming and cold-dispersing layer (Gan Jiang, Rou Gui, Xiao Hui Xiang) to address Blood stasis in the lower Jiao arising from Cold accumulation obstructing Blood circulation. Available as a concentrated 90g powder. Do not use during pregnancy; multiple herbs in this formula have strong Blood-moving and uterine-stimulating actions that are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used 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.

What It Supports

  • Blood invigoration and stasis resolution in the lower Jiao: Dang Gui (Chinese angelica root) tonifies Blood and invigorates Blood circulation while nourishing the Blood foundation; Chi Shao (red peony root) invigorates Blood, clears Blood-Heat, and dispels Blood stasis with a stronger Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving action than Bai Shao Yao; Chuan Xiong (Sichuan lovage rhizome) invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and dispels Wind with a pungent, warm nature and a specific affinity for the Liver, Gallbladder, and Pericardium channels; Tao Ren (peach kernel) strongly invigorates Blood, breaks up Blood stasis, and moistens the Intestines; Pu Huang (cattail pollen) invigorates Blood, stops bleeding, and moves Blood stasis in the lower Jiao; Yan Hu Suo (corydalis rhizome) invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and alleviates discomfort from Blood stagnation with one of the strongest Qi-and-Blood-moving and stagnation-alleviating actions in the Chinese materia medica; together these six herbs form the formula's comprehensive Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving layer, addressing Blood stasis in the lower abdomen and lower Jiao from multiple simultaneous Blood-moving and stasis-dispersing angles
  • Lower Jiao warming and Cold-type stasis dispersion: Gan Jiang (dried ginger rhizome) warms the Middle and Lower Jiao, dispels Cold, and restores Yang; Rou Gui (cinnamon bark) warms the Kidney and Spleen Yang, disperses Cold from the channels, and invigorates Blood circulation by warming the channels and vessels; Xiao Hui Xiang (fennel fruit) warms the Liver and Kidney channels, disperses Cold accumulation in the lower Jiao, and moves Qi to alleviate lower Jiao stagnation; together they form the formula's warming and Cold-dispersing layer, addressing the Cold accumulation in the lower Jiao channel system that obstructs Blood circulation and produces Blood stasis of the Cold-obstruction type; the warming layer distinguishes Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang from purely Blood-invigorating formulas and makes it specifically appropriate for Blood stasis presentations where Cold is the primary obstructing factor rather than Heat, trauma, or Qi deficiency alone

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Shao Fu Zhu Yu is a nine-herb formula based on Wang Qing-Ren's Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang from Yi Lin Gai Cuo (1830), organized around a six-herb Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving layer (Dang Gui, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Tao Ren, Pu Huang, Yan Hu Suo) and a three-herb warming and Cold-dispersing layer (Gan Jiang, Rou Gui, Xiao Hui Xiang):

  • Chi Shao (Paeonia lactiflora) - Red peony root: Invigorates Blood, clears Blood-Heat, and dispels Blood stasis with a bitter, slightly cold nature and a specific affinity for the Liver channel; Chi Shao provides a stronger Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving action than Bai Shao Yao and is specifically appropriate for Blood stasis presentations; Chi Shao's paeoniflorin and paeonol constituents provide both classical TCVM Blood-invigorating and stasis-resolving action and documented anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antiplatelet pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) - Sichuan lovage rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and dispels Wind; the formula's primary Qi-and-Blood-moving herb, with a pungent, warm nature and a specific affinity for the Liver, Gallbladder, and Pericardium channels; Chuan Xiong is often described in TCVM as the chief herb for moving Blood within the context of a Blood-nourishing or Blood-invigorating formula, providing the active circulation-promoting action that drives the Blood-invigorating strategy throughout the channel system; Chuan Xiong's ligustilide and ferulic acid constituents provide both classical TCVM Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving action and documented vasodilatory, antiplatelet, and smooth muscle-relaxing pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Chinese angelica root: Tonifies Blood, invigorates Blood, and moves Blood stagnation; the formula's chief Blood-tonifying and Blood-invigorating herb, simultaneously nourishing the Blood foundation and actively invigorating Blood circulation; Dang Gui's dual Blood-tonifying and Blood-invigorating action ensures that the formula's aggressive stasis-resolving strategy is accompanied by Blood nourishment, preventing the Blood-moving herbs from depleting the Blood as they resolve stasis; Dang Gui's ferulic acid and ligustilide constituents provide both classical TCVM Blood-tonifying and Blood-invigorating action and documented estrogenic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Gan Jiang (Zingiber officinale) - Dried ginger rhizome: Warms the Middle and Lower Jiao, dispels Cold, and restores Yang; the formula's primary Middle and Lower Jiao-warming herb, addressing the Cold accumulation in the lower Jiao channel system that obstructs Blood circulation and produces Cold-type Blood stasis; Gan Jiang's pungent, hot nature and its specific affinity for the Spleen, Stomach, Heart, and Lung channels make it appropriate for warming the interior and dispelling Cold from the Middle and Lower Jiao; Gan Jiang's gingerol and shogaol constituents provide both classical TCVM warming and Cold-dispersing action and documented anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, and circulatory-stimulating pharmacological activity
  • Pu Huang (Typha angustifolia) - Cattail pollen: Invigorates Blood, stops bleeding, and moves Blood stasis specifically in the lower Jiao; the formula's lower Jiao-specific Blood-invigorating and stasis-moving pollen herb, with a sweet, neutral nature and a specific affinity for the Liver and Pericardium channels; Pu Huang's dual hemostatic and Blood-invigorating action (similar to Tian San Qi) allows it to simultaneously move stasis and arrest bleeding in presentations where Blood stasis coexists with bleeding; Pu Huang's isorhamnetin and quercetin flavonoid constituents provide both classical TCVM Blood-invigorating and stasis-moving action and documented antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, and estrogenic pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon bark: Warms the Kidney and Spleen Yang, disperses Cold from the channels and vessels, and invigorates Blood circulation by warming the channels; the formula's deepest-acting and most warming herb, penetrating to the Kidney Yang level to warm the root of the body's Yang and dispel deep-seated Cold from the lower Jiao channel system; Rou Gui's pungent, sweet, and very hot nature and its specific affinity for the Kidney, Spleen, Heart, and Liver channels make it the formula's primary lower Jiao and Kidney Yang-warming herb; Rou Gui's cinnamaldehyde constituent provides both classical TCVM warming and Cold-dispersing action and documented vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory-stimulating pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Tao Ren (Prunus persica) - Peach kernel: Strongly invigorates Blood, breaks up Blood stasis, and moistens the Intestines; one of the strongest Blood stasis-breaking herbs in the Chinese materia medica, with a bitter, sweet nature and a specific affinity for the Heart, Liver, Lung, and Large Intestine channels; Tao Ren's strong stasis-breaking action makes it particularly effective for established Blood stasis presentations in the lower Jiao; Tao Ren's amygdalin and fatty acid constituents provide both classical TCVM Blood stasis-breaking action and documented antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculum vulgare) - Fennel fruit: Warms the Liver and Kidney channels, disperses Cold accumulation in the lower Jiao, and moves Qi to alleviate lower Jiao stagnation; the formula's lower Jiao-specific Liver and Kidney channel-warming and Qi-moving herb, with a pungent, warm nature and a specific affinity for the Liver, Kidney, Spleen, and Stomach channels; Xiao Hui Xiang's specific affinity for the lower Jiao and Liver channel makes it particularly appropriate for dispersing Cold-type Qi and Blood stagnation in the lower abdominal channel system; Xiao Hui Xiang's anethole constituent provides both classical TCVM warming and Cold-dispersing action and documented antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and estrogenic pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy
  • Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis yanhusuo) - Corydalis rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and alleviates discomfort from Blood and Qi stagnation; the formula's most potent Qi-and-Blood-moving and stagnation-alleviating herb, with a pungent, bitter, and warm nature and a specific affinity for the Heart, Liver, and Spleen channels; Yan Hu Suo has one of the strongest Qi-and-Blood-moving and stagnation-alleviating actions in the Chinese materia medica and is specifically indicated for discomfort from Blood stasis and Qi stagnation in the chest, abdomen, and extremities; Yan Hu Suo's tetrahydropalmatine (THP) and other isoquinoline alkaloid constituents provide both classical TCVM Qi-and-Blood-moving and stagnation-alleviating action and documented analgesic, sedative, and antispasmodic pharmacological activity; do not use during pregnancy

Frequently Asked Questions

What TCVM pattern does Shao Fu Zhu Yu address, and what is Wang Qing-Ren's Blood Stasis School?

Shao Fu Zhu Yu addresses the TCVM pattern of Blood stasis and Cold accumulation in the lower abdomen and lower Jiao (Shao Fu = lower abdomen; Zhu Yu = drive out stasis). In TCVM theory, Blood stasis in the lower Jiao can arise from Cold accumulation obstructing the free flow of Blood through the lower abdominal channel system, producing a pattern of Cold-type Blood stasis characterized by fixed, localized stagnation that worsens with Cold and improves with warmth. Wang Qing-Ren, the author of the classical antecedent text Yi Lin Gai Cuo (1830), was one of the most influential physicians of the Blood stasis school of classical Chinese medicine, emphasizing Blood stasis as a primary pathological factor in a wide range of clinical presentations that earlier physicians had not recognized as Blood stasis patterns. His five Zhu Yu Tang formulas (Drive Out Stasis decoctions), of which Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang is one, remain among the most frequently prescribed classical Blood-invigorating formulas in both human and veterinary TCVM practice. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.

How is Shao Fu Zhu Yu administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Shao Fu Zhu Yu 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 0.3g and the large end holds approximately 1.2g. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, 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. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and duration for your animal.

Why does Shao Fu Zhu Yu include warming herbs (Gan Jiang, Rou Gui, Xiao Hui Xiang) alongside Blood-invigorating herbs?

The warming herbs Gan Jiang, Rou Gui, and Xiao Hui Xiang are essential to Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang's specific clinical application for Cold-type Blood stasis in the lower Jiao. In TCVM theory, Blood stasis can arise from multiple causes: trauma, Qi deficiency failing to move Blood, Heat drying the Blood, or Cold obstructing the free flow of Blood through the channel system. Cold-type Blood stasis is specifically characterized by the Cold constricting and obstructing the blood vessels and channels of the lower Jiao, preventing normal Blood circulation and producing stagnation. Without warming the channels and dispelling the Cold that is obstructing Blood flow, Blood-invigorating herbs alone can move Blood within a Cold-obstructed channel system only partially and temporarily - the Cold obstruction will continue to drive stasis recurrence once the Blood-invigorating herbs' effect diminishes. By simultaneously warming the Kidney and Spleen Yang (Rou Gui), warming the Middle and Lower Jiao (Gan Jiang), and dispersing Cold from the Liver and Kidney lower Jiao channels (Xiao Hui Xiang) alongside the six Blood-invigorating herbs, the formula addresses both the Blood stasis manifestation and the Cold obstruction root simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive and durable resolution of the lower Jiao Cold-Blood stasis pattern, or as directed by your veterinarian.

How does Shao Fu Zhu Yu differ from other Blood-invigorating TCVM formulas, and when is it specifically appropriate?

Shao Fu Zhu Yu is distinguished from other Blood-invigorating TCVM formulas by its specific lower Jiao focus and its combined Blood-invigorating and lower Jiao-warming strategy. Wang Qing-Ren's five Zhu Yu Tang formulas each target Blood stasis in a different anatomical region and channel system: Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang addresses Blood stasis in the chest and upper body; Tong Qiao Huo Xue Tang addresses Blood stasis in the head and sensory orifices; Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang addresses Blood stasis below the diaphragm; Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang addresses Blood stasis specifically in the lower abdomen and lower Jiao; and Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang addresses Blood stasis in the channels and extremities. Shao Fu Zhu Yu is most specifically appropriate when the Blood stasis presentation is localized to the lower abdominal channel system and is associated with Cold accumulation, lower Jiao channel obstruction, or reproductive and urinary channel stagnation that responds to warmth. It is not appropriate for Heat-type Blood stasis, upper body Blood stasis presentations, or pregnancy due to its strong Blood-moving and warming uterine-channel-stimulating herb content. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate Blood-invigorating formula based on your animal's specific TCVM stasis pattern, location, and underlying cause, or as directed by your veterinarian.
