Kan Essentials Lift the Qi (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang) is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula recommended by holistic veterinarians to supplement Original Qi, raise sinking Spleen Qi, and move Liver Qi. This classical formula was first published in the 13th-century Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach by Li Dongyuan; its incorporation of four herbs from the Six Gentle Pets (Liu Jun Zi Tang) formula speaks to its Spleen Qi and digestion-supporting effects. Available in liquid and tablet forms. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Each herb in Lift the Qi is selected for its specific role within the TCVM framework. Together, they tonify Original Qi, raise sinking Spleen Qi, boost Wei Qi, nourish Liver Blood, and move stagnant Liver Qi to address Spleen deficiency and sinking at multiple levels.
Lift the Qi contains Qi-tonifying, immune-modulating, and Liver Qi-moving herbs with known effects on immune, digestive, and hormonal function. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision.
Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving immunosuppressive drugs, corticosteroids, gastrointestinal medications, sedatives or anxiolytics, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Lift the Qi is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Lift the Qi (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang) is used to tonify Original Qi, raise sinking Spleen Qi, and move Liver Qi. It is indicated for patterns of Spleen Qi deficiency and sinking, and is commonly used to support energy, healthy immune function, emotional well-being, and digestive health in dogs and cats.
Lift the Qi is available in liquid extract (1 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz) or 500mg tablets (60, 120, or 300 count). You can mix liquid into food or administer it directly; you can hide tablets in food or a soft treat for easy administration. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.
Results vary by individual and the severity of the pattern. Some animals may show improvement in energy and emotional calm relatively quickly, while those with more chronic or established Spleen Qi deficiency and sinking patterns may require several weeks of consistent use. Your authorizing veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
Always consult your veterinarian before combining Lift the Qi with other medications or supplements. Key interactions to discuss include immunosuppressive drugs, corticosteroids, and gastrointestinal medications. Your authorizing veterinarian will monitor for potential interactions through routine lab work and diagnostic testing. See the Potential Drug Interactions section above for details.
I currently have a dog that is on cool the blood It was recommended to add this product because of yeast issue. She is a 115lb dog, can you let me know if the tincture/drops is best? I currently am using pills for the cool the blood, but I have to shove them down her throat.
Hi, thank you for your question!
The choice between tinctures and capsules depends on individual preferences for their pets. Most of our clients preferred tincture since it can also be applied to pets' food.
You'll need to give your pet equivalent doses of capsules.
