In TCVM, the Lung governs Qi and controls respiration, disperses and descends Qi throughout the body, regulates the water passages, and controls the skin and coat. Lung Qi deficiency impairs all of these functions, particularly the respiratory and Qi-governing roles. Bu Fei San addresses the Lung Qi deficiency root through tonification, supports the Lung's astringent function through Wu Wei Zi and Bai Guo, restores the Lung's descending function through Zi Su Zi, and opens the Lung channel through Jie Geng.

In TCVM, chronic Lung Qi deficiency allows Lung Qi to leak outward and upward rather than descending normally, generating breathlessness, spontaneous sweating, and chronic cough. Wu Wei Zi is the classical Lung-astricting herb par excellence - its sour flavor contracts the Lung, preventing further Qi leakage, while its five-flavor nature also nourishes Kidney Yin to support the Kidney's role in receiving Lung Qi. Bai Guo adds a complementary astricting and anti-wheeze action specifically targeting the wheezing and breathlessness component of Lung Qi deficiency, making the Wu Wei Zi and Bai Guo pair a classic combination for Lung astringency with respiratory support.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is the classical source of Bu Fei San, and what does the formula name mean?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBu Fei San is based on Bu Fei Tang from Yong Lei Qian Fang (Everlasting Categorization of Seal Formulas), a classical Chinese medicine text that compiled formulas organized by category and clinical application. The formula name translates literally as Tonify the Lung Powder (Bu = tonify, Fei = Lung, San = powder\/disperse), directly describing its primary therapeutic strategy of tonifying the Lung through the combination of Qi-tonifying, Lung-astricting, channel-opening, and Qi-descending herbs. The classical Bu Fei Tang framework has been adapted in Jing Tang's Bu Fei San specifically for veterinary clinical use in dogs, cats, and horses, maintaining the core Lung Qi tonification strategy while selecting herbs and doses appropriate for companion animal and equine patients. Your veterinarian will determine whether this formula is appropriate for your pet's specific TCVM respiratory pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T15:56:35-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T15:56:34-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Deficiency_Qi","Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Respiratory","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Bu Fei San","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":3750,"price_min":3750,"price_max":13680,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45925870927942,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A0085C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5939541540913,"product_id":8486345310278,"position":2,"created_at":"2019-05-07T17:38:23-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:22:40-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Bu Fei San Concentrated 0.2g Capsule #50 -

In TCVM, the Lung governs Qi and controls respiration, disperses and descends Qi throughout the body, regulates the water passages, and controls the skin and coat. Lung Qi deficiency impairs all of these functions, particularly the respiratory and Qi-governing roles. Bu Fei San addresses the Lung Qi deficiency root through tonification, supports the Lung's astringent function through Wu Wei Zi and Bai Guo, restores the Lung's descending function through Zi Su Zi, and opens the Lung channel through Jie Geng. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Bu Fei San administered and dosed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

For the 0.5g Capsule format, give one capsule per 20 to 40 lb body weight twice daily; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, give one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

In TCVM, chronic Lung Qi deficiency allows Lung Qi to leak outward and upward rather than descending normally, generating breathlessness, spontaneous sweating, and chronic cough. Wu Wei Zi is the classical Lung-astricting herb par excellence - its sour flavor contracts the Lung, preventing further Qi leakage, while its five-flavor nature also nourishes Kidney Yin to support the Kidney's role in receiving Lung Qi. Bai Guo adds a complementary astricting and anti-wheeze action specifically targeting the wheezing and breathlessness component of Lung Qi deficiency, making the Wu Wei Zi and Bai Guo pair a classic combination for Lung astringency with respiratory support.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is the classical source of Bu Fei San, and what does the formula name mean?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBu Fei San is based on Bu Fei Tang from Yong Lei Qian Fang (Everlasting Categorization of Seal Formulas), a classical Chinese medicine text that compiled formulas organized by category and clinical application. The formula name translates literally as Tonify the Lung Powder (Bu = tonify, Fei = Lung, San = powder\/disperse), directly describing its primary therapeutic strategy of tonifying the Lung through the combination of Qi-tonifying, Lung-astricting, channel-opening, and Qi-descending herbs. The classical Bu Fei Tang framework has been adapted in Jing Tang's Bu Fei San specifically for veterinary clinical use in dogs, cats, and horses, maintaining the core Lung Qi tonification strategy while selecting herbs and doses appropriate for companion animal and equine patients. Your veterinarian will determine whether this formula is appropriate for your pet's specific TCVM respiratory pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
