Based on the traditional formula Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang (comparable to  Six Gentlemen with Aucklandia and Amomum, Eight Gentlemen, Six Gentlemen Plus, and Vladimiria and Cardamom Combination), it strengthens the spleen, harmonizes the stomach, regulates the qi, and relieves digestive discomfort. This formula builds on the foundational Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen) by adding Chen Pi, Ban Xia, ShaRen, and Mu Xiang, making it well suited for pets presenting with spleen and stomach vacuity complicated by cold-damp stagnation in the middle burner, with signs such as poor appetite, nausea, bloating, loose stools, fatigue, and digestive irregularity. Note: Inula (Tu Xiang) is substituted for Aucklandia (Mu Xiang) in this formula, as Aucklandia is on the endangered species list; the listing retains the traditional ingredient name per label convention. Available as a concentrated powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight, and your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVeterinary Authorization Required - Click Here to Submit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpleen strengthening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tonifies the spleen qi and restores the spleen's transforming and transporting functions, addressing the foundational spleen vacuity that drives poor appetite, fatigue, loose stools, and the body's inability to generate sufficient qi and blood from food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStomach harmonization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harmonizes the stomach and descends rebellious stomach qi, relieving nausea, vomiting, and digestive irregularity arising from stomach qi failing to descend and cold-damp obstructing the middle burner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQi regulation and cold-damp resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regulates qi movement in the middle burner and resolves cold-damp stagnation, addressing the bloating, fullness, and sluggish digestion that develop when dampness and cold obstruct the free flow of qi in the spleen and stomach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigestive comfort support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relieves digestive discomfort associated with qi stagnation and cold-damp accumulation in the middle burner, using aromatic and qi-moving herbs to restore the smooth flow of qi and warm the interior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTCVM Principles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strengthens the spleen and harmonizes the stomach using the Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen) base of Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and Zhi Gan Cao, directly tonifying the spleen qi and middle burner that are the root of the pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds Chen Pi, Ban Xia, Sha Ren, and Mu Xiang to the Four Gentlemen base to transform phlegm-damp, descend rebellious qi, warm the middle burner, and regulate qi movement, addressing the cold-damp stagnation and qi obstruction that complicate the underlying spleen-stomach vacuity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAvailable Forms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowder - Canine Blend (for dogs and cats):\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in 75 g, 150 g, 500 g, 900 g, and 1200 g sizes; mix into food at the recommended dose for your pet's weight.

Based on the traditional formula Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang (comparable to  Six Gentlemen with Aucklandia and Amomum, Eight Gentlemen, Six Gentlemen Plus, and Vladimiria and Cardamom Combination), it strengthens the spleen, harmonizes the stomach, regulates the qi, and relieves digestive discomfort. This formula builds on the foundational Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen) by adding Chen Pi, Ban Xia, ShaRen, and Mu Xiang, making it well suited for pets presenting with spleen and stomach vacuity complicated by cold-damp stagnation in the middle burner, with signs such as poor appetite, nausea, bloating, loose stools, fatigue, and digestive irregularity. Note: Inula (Tu Xiang) is substituted for Aucklandia (Mu Xiang) in this formula, as Aucklandia is on the endangered species list; the listing retains the traditional ingredient name per label convention. Available as a concentrated powder mixed into food; cats and dogs use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight, and your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVeterinary Authorization Required - Click Here to Submit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRequest a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat It Supports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpleen strengthening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tonifies the spleen qi and restores the spleen's transforming and transporting functions, addressing the foundational spleen vacuity that drives poor appetite, fatigue, loose stools, and the body's inability to generate sufficient qi and blood from food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStomach harmonization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harmonizes the stomach and descends rebellious stomach qi, relieving nausea, vomiting, and digestive irregularity arising from stomach qi failing to descend and cold-damp obstructing the middle burner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQi regulation and cold-damp resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regulates qi movement in the middle burner and resolves cold-damp stagnation, addressing the bloating, fullness, and sluggish digestion that develop when dampness and cold obstruct the free flow of qi in the spleen and stomach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigestive comfort support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relieves digestive discomfort associated with qi stagnation and cold-damp accumulation in the middle burner, using aromatic and qi-moving herbs to restore the smooth flow of qi and warm the interior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTCVM Principles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strengthens the spleen and harmonizes the stomach using the Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen) base of Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, and Zhi Gan Cao, directly tonifying the spleen qi and middle burner that are the root of the pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds Chen Pi, Ban Xia, Sha Ren, and Mu Xiang to the Four Gentlemen base to transform phlegm-damp, descend rebellious qi, warm the middle burner, and regulate qi movement, addressing the cold-damp stagnation and qi obstruction that complicate the underlying spleen-stomach vacuity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAvailable Forms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowder - Canine Blend (for dogs and cats):\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in 75 g, 150 g, 500 g, 900 g, and 1200 g sizes; mix into food at the recommended dose for your pet's weight.
