Based on Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Powder) from \u003cem\u003eShang Han Za Bing Lun\u003c\/em\u003e (Discussion of Cold Induced Disorders and Miscellaneous Diseases) by Zhang Zhong-Jing in 220 CE, this four-ingredient classical formula combines a powerful mineral Heat-clearing and Fire-purging chief substance (Shi Gao, raw gypsum), a Fire-draining and Yin-nourishing herb (Zhi Mu), a Stomach-protecting and Fluid-generating grain (Geng Mi, non-glutinous rice), and a harmonizing and toxin-resolving herb (Gan Cao) to address intense Excess Heat accumulation at the Qi level. Available as 0.5g capsules (200 count). Use with care in Qi- or Yang-deficient patients, as the formula's cold and purging nature may further weaken an already deficient Qi or Yang foundation. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. For use in 1 to 3 weeks only; stop administration as soon as clinical signs resolve.

Their combined cold, bitter, and draining nature is clinically effective for rapidly clearing intense Qi-level Excess Heat and Excess Fire, but extended use carries the risk of over-cooling the body, damaging Spleen and Stomach Qi and Yang, and depleting Qi and Fluids in patients who have already been weakened by the Heat. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea - a clear clinical signal that the formula's cold and purging nature is exceeding the body's tolerance. Stop as soon as clinical signs resolve - continuing beyond resolution risks creating a Cold pattern on top of the resolved Heat pattern. In TCVM clinical practice, White Tiger Formula is a targeted, acute-phase formula rather than a long-term maintenance formula; your authorizing veterinarian will determine when to transition to a more tonifying or balancing formula once the acute Heat pattern has resolved, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy should White Tiger Formula be used with care in Qi or Yang deficient patients?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhite Tiger Formula is one of the most aggressively cold and Fire-purging classical formulas in TCVM, making it specifically contraindicated or requiring careful management in patients with Qi deficiency or Yang deficiency. In TCVM theory, Qi deficiency means the body already lacks sufficient Qi to power its functions and maintain metabolic warmth; introducing large amounts of cold, draining herbs further reduces the metabolic warmth and Qi production capacity, risking collapse of the Spleen and Stomach Qi that the formula's Geng Mi and Gan Cao are only partially capable of protecting against. Yang deficiency presents an even greater risk: Yang-deficient patients lack the warming Yang needed to maintain body temperature and metabolic function, and the formula's intense cold and purging action can rapidly worsen Yang deficiency to the point of Yang collapse. In patients with concurrent Qi or Yang deficiency and Excess Heat, your authorizing veterinarian may recommend a modified approach: using White Tiger Formula at reduced dosage, combining it with Qi or Yang-tonifying formulas, or selecting an alternative formula with a less aggressively cold Heat-clearing strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-20T13:39:30-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-05T13:44:22-06:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els_PW_7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11290,"price_min":11290,"price_max":11290,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40433923129414,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E0125C2-200","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang White Tiger Formula 0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":11290,"weight":1,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_df1bb521-a3f3-42d0-9e56-fec68835451e.jpg?v=1670276827","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/E0125C2-200.jpg?v=1670276808"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_df1bb521-a3f3-42d0-9e56-fec68835451e.jpg?v=1670276827","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang White Tiger Formula 0.5g Capsule #200 - Herbal Capsules Size","id":22103057793094,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_df1bb521-a3f3-42d0-9e56-fec68835451e.jpg?v=1670276827"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_df1bb521-a3f3-42d0-9e56-fec68835451e.jpg?v=1670276827","width":1024},{"alt":"Jing Tang White Tiger Formula 0.5g Herbal Capsule #200","id":22103057760326,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":400,"width":400,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/E0125C2-200.jpg?v=1670276808"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":400,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/E0125C2-200.jpg?v=1670276808","width":400}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/2110\/5457\/files\/veterinary_authorizaton_required_for_tcvm_herbal_formulas_240x240.jpg?v=1787081808\" alt=\"Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply\" style=\"margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px; float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRecommended by holistic veterinarians, \u003cstrong\u003eJing Tang White Tiger Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Heat and purges Fire to address patterns of intense Qi-level Heat accumulation and Excess Fire in dogs, cats, and horses.

Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea - a clear clinical signal that the formula's cold and purging nature is exceeding the body's tolerance. Stop as soon as clinical signs resolve - continuing beyond resolution risks creating a Cold pattern on top of the resolved Heat pattern. In TCVM clinical practice, White Tiger Formula is a targeted, acute-phase formula rather than a long-term maintenance formula; your authorizing veterinarian will determine when to transition to a more tonifying or balancing formula once the acute Heat pattern has resolved, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy should White Tiger Formula be used with care in Qi or Yang deficient patients?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhite Tiger Formula is one of the most aggressively cold and Fire-purging classical formulas in TCVM, making it specifically contraindicated or requiring careful management in patients with Qi deficiency or Yang deficiency. In TCVM theory, Qi deficiency means the body already lacks sufficient Qi to power its functions and maintain metabolic warmth; introducing large amounts of cold, draining herbs further reduces the metabolic warmth and Qi production capacity, risking collapse of the Spleen and Stomach Qi that the formula's Geng Mi and Gan Cao are only partially capable of protecting against. Yang deficiency presents an even greater risk: Yang-deficient patients lack the warming Yang needed to maintain body temperature and metabolic function, and the formula's intense cold and purging action can rapidly worsen Yang deficiency to the point of Yang collapse. In patients with concurrent Qi or Yang deficiency and Excess Heat, your authorizing veterinarian may recommend a modified approach: using White Tiger Formula at reduced dosage, combining it with Qi or Yang-tonifying formulas, or selecting an alternative formula with a less aggressively cold Heat-clearing strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
