Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Mu Dan Pi is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that cools Blood and resolves stagnation to address the TCVM pattern of Blood-Heat with Blood stasis in dogs, cats, and horses. Named for its chief herb Mu Dan Pi (moutan bark, tree peony root bark), this four-herb formula combines the Blood-Heat-cooling and stasis-resolving action of Mu Dan Pi and Chi Shao (red peony root) with the broad Blood-invigorating and Heart Heat-clearing action of Dan Shen (salvia root) and the Qi-and-Blood-moving and Heart-opening action of Yu Jin (curcuma tuber) to provide comprehensive coverage of the Blood-Heat with Blood stasis pattern. Based on Mu Dan Pi He Ji. Available as a concentrated 90g powder. No contraindications are listed. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Mu Dan Pi is a four-herb formula based on Mu Dan Pi He Ji, organized around a Blood-Heat-cooling and stasis-resolving chief pair (Mu Dan Pi, Chi Shao), a broad Blood-invigorating and Heart Heat-clearing herb (Dan Shen), and a Qi-and-Blood-moving and Heart-opening herb (Yu Jin):
Mu Dan Pi contains multiple Blood-invigorating herbs including Mu Dan Pi, Chi Shao, Dan Shen, and Yu Jin whose paeonol, paeoniflorin, tanshinone, and curcumin constituents may affect platelet aggregation and coagulation function and may interact with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications including warfarin, aspirin, and other NSAIDs; Dan Shen's tanshinone constituents may also interact with cardiac medications including digoxin through P-glycoprotein transport pathway effects; Yu Jin's curcumin constituent may interact with medications metabolized through cytochrome P450 pathways. The formula's cold and Blood-moving nature is consistent with the stop-immediately warning for diarrhea and vomiting, which may indicate excessive cooling of the Middle Jiao or an adverse response to the formula's Blood-moving action. Dogs, cats, and horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in these species remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, NSAIDs, cardiac medications, and medications metabolized through cytochrome P450 pathways. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

In TCVM theory, Blood-Heat with Blood stasis is a combined pattern where pathogenic Heat has entered the Blood level, driving Blood circulation to become both hot and stagnant simultaneously. Blood-Heat alone produces accelerated, Heat-driven bleeding or reckless Blood movement; Blood stasis alone produces fixed, obstructed accumulations of Blood that is no longer flowing freely. When Blood-Heat and Blood stasis coexist, the Heat drives pathological Blood movement while the stasis prevents normal free circulation, producing a pattern where the Blood is both agitated by Heat and obstructed by stasis at the same time. Mu Dan Pi is specifically appropriate as the chief herb for this combined pattern because its bitter, acrid, and slightly cold nature allows it to simultaneously cool the Blood-Heat and move the Blood stasis, addressing both components of the pattern in a single herb action. The formula's additional three herbs (Chi Shao, Dan Shen, Yu Jin) each contribute additional Blood-invigorating, Heat-clearing, and Qi-moving action to comprehensively treat the combined Blood-Heat and Blood stasis presentation across the Liver, Heart, Pericardium, Kidney, and Gallbladder channel system. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.
Mu Dan Pi is available as a concentrated 90g powder that mixes into food or feed. The bottle includes a double-sided scoop: the small end holds about 0.25g, and the large end holds about 1.2g. For dogs and cats, the guideline is approximately 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily (approximately 2 small level scoops per 10 to 20 lbs), 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. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and duration for your animal.
The combination of Blood-cooling herbs (Mu Dan Pi, Chi Shao) and Blood-invigorating herbs (Dan Shen, Yu Jin, and the Blood-invigorating dimension of Mu Dan Pi itself) reflects the formula's specific application for the combined Blood-Heat and Blood stasis pattern, where both components require simultaneous treatment. In classical TCVM formula strategy, using Blood-cooling herbs alone for a Blood-Heat with Blood stasis presentation risks congealing the Blood further and worsening the stasis component; using Blood-invigorating herbs alone risks driving the Heat deeper or producing additional Heat-driven pathological Blood movement. By combining Mu Dan Pi's unique simultaneous Blood-Heat-cooling and Blood-invigorating action with Chi Shao's additional Blood-invigorating and Heat-clearing coverage, Dan Shen's broad Blood stasis treatment and Heart channel action, and Yu Jin's Qi-moving and Gallbladder channel-opening action, the formula addresses the Blood-Heat root and the Blood stasis accumulation simultaneously, ensuring that the cooling action does not worsen the stasis and the moving action does not worsen the Heat, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Mu Dan Pi is distinguished from other Jing Tang Blood-invigorating formulas by its specific combination of Blood-Heat cooling and Blood stasis resolution in a single formula, anchored by Mu Dan Pi as the chief herb for the combined Blood-Heat with Blood stasis pattern. Blood-invigorating formulas that focus primarily on Cold-type Blood stasis (such as Shao Fu Zhu Yu, which uses warming herbs alongside Blood-invigorating herbs) are appropriate when Cold obstruction is the primary driver of Blood stasis; Mu Dan Pi is most specifically appropriate when the Blood stasis presentation is accompanied by or driven by Blood-Heat rather than Cold. The additional Heart and Pericardium channel coverage from Dan Shen and Yu Jin makes the formula particularly appropriate for Blood stasis and Heat presentations that involve Heart channel disturbance or Liver-Heart Blood stasis patterns. It is not the primary formula for Cold-type Blood stasis, Qi deficiency-driven Blood stasis, or Blood stasis presentations without a significant Heat component. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate Blood stasis formula based on your animal's specific TCVM pattern diagnosis, or as directed by your veterinarian.
