Xiang Fu is the primary Liver Qi-regulating herb with broad Triple Burner affinity; Qing Pi provides the most aggressive Liver Qi-breaking action; Chen Pi regulates middle Jiao Spleen and Stomach Qi with a milder, more harmonizing action; Wu Yao specifically addresses cold-type Qi constraint in the lower Jiao; Zhi Shi and Hou Po break the most established Qi accumulations and reduce abdominal distension; Chuan Mu Xiang targets gastrointestinal Qi stagnation specifically; and Da Fu Pi descends Qi and promotes urination simultaneously.

When Liver Qi is stagnant, it often co-exists with some degree of Liver Blood or Yin insufficiency - either because Blood deficiency fails to nourish and soften the Liver, allowing Qi to stagnate more easily, or because chronic Qi stagnation eventually impairs Blood production and circulation. The inclusion of Bai Shao Yao and Dang Gui in Xiao Zhang San serves two purposes: first, they nourish Blood and soften the Liver, addressing the Blood-nourishing deficiency root that contributes to Liver Qi constraint; second, they moderate and counterbalance the formula's seventeen herbs of predominantly pungent, bitter, drying, and draining nature. Without Bai Shao Yao and Dang Gui, the formula's aggressive Qi-breaking, Dampness-drying, and stagnation-purging strategy could excessively dry Yin and Blood over the treatment course. This inclusion of a small Blood-nourishing counterbalance within an otherwise aggressively moving and draining formula is a classical TCVM formulation principle - move and drain the excess, but protect and nourish the body's foundations simultaneously, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-20T13:41:16-05:00","created_at":"2022-09-19T16:07:05-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els_PW_7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Powder","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":17790,"price_min":17790,"price_max":17790,"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":40326762233926,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B0263-600","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Xiao Zhang San 600g Powder","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":17790,"weight":600,"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-powder_350x350_ebea5b12-c9b7-47fe-804d-cc31e42f21f1.webp?v=1671211319","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/xiaozhangsan.jpg?v=1671211319"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_350x350_ebea5b12-c9b7-47fe-804d-cc31e42f21f1.webp?v=1671211319","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Zhang San 600g Powder Photo of Powdered Herbs","id":22126673395782,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":350,"width":350,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_350x350_ebea5b12-c9b7-47fe-804d-cc31e42f21f1.webp?v=1671211319"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":350,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder_350x350_ebea5b12-c9b7-47fe-804d-cc31e42f21f1.webp?v=1671211319","width":350},{"alt":"Jing Tang Xiao Zhang San 600g Powder Herb Package Front","id":21910882287686,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":400,"width":400,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/xiaozhangsan.jpg?v=1671211319"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":400,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/xiaozhangsan.jpg?v=1671211319","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 Xiao Zhang San\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that breaks down Qi stagnation and resolves stagnation to address patterns of Qi stagnation with abdominal distension, Damp accumulation, and gastrointestinal stagnation in dogs, cats, and horses.

When Liver Qi is stagnant, it often co-exists with some degree of Liver Blood or Yin insufficiency - either because Blood deficiency fails to nourish and soften the Liver, allowing Qi to stagnate more easily, or because chronic Qi stagnation eventually impairs Blood production and circulation. The inclusion of Bai Shao Yao and Dang Gui in Xiao Zhang San serves two purposes: first, they nourish Blood and soften the Liver, addressing the Blood-nourishing deficiency root that contributes to Liver Qi constraint; second, they moderate and counterbalance the formula's seventeen herbs of predominantly pungent, bitter, drying, and draining nature. Without Bai Shao Yao and Dang Gui, the formula's aggressive Qi-breaking, Dampness-drying, and stagnation-purging strategy could excessively dry Yin and Blood over the treatment course. This inclusion of a small Blood-nourishing counterbalance within an otherwise aggressively moving and draining formula is a classical TCVM formulation principle - move and drain the excess, but protect and nourish the body's foundations simultaneously, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
