Based on Qing Ying Tang from \u003cem\u003eWen Bing Tiao Bian\u003c\/em\u003e (Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases) written by Wu Ju-Tang in 1798, this seven-herb formula draws on the foundational Warm Disease school strategy of clearing Heat-toxin from the Ying level while simultaneously tonifying the righteous Qi to support the body's defensive function during aggressive Heat-toxin clearance. The formula combines a principal Heat-toxin-clearing and antitoxin layer (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao), a Heart channel-draining and Damp-Heat-descending herb (Chuan Mu Tong), an upper Jiao-opening and guiding herb (Jie Geng), a Heat-clearing and harmonizing herb (Gan Cao), and a Qi-tonifying herb that supports the body's defensive Qi during the treatment course (Huang Qi). Available as 0.5g capsules (200 count). No contraindications or warnings are listed. May be used for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; 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\u003eVETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/get-an-authorization\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSubmit Your Authorization Request\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcvmpet.com\/pages\/schedule-a-consultation\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\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\u003eHeat-toxin clearance and antitoxin resolution at the Ying level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ban Lan Gen (isatis root) clears Heat, resolves toxicity, and cools Blood with one of the strongest antitoxin actions in the Chinese materia medica and a specific affinity for Heat-toxin presentations affecting the throat, Ying level, and neurological channel system;

The Heart houses the Shen in TCVM, and when Heat or Fire accumulates in the Heart channel or Pericardium, it directly disturbs the Shen, potentially causing neurological signs, behavioral changes, agitation, clouded consciousness, or other Shen-disturbing manifestations. Based on Qing Ying Tang from Wu Ju-Tang's foundational Warm Disease school text \u003cem\u003eWen Bing Tiao Bian\u003c\/em\u003e (1798), this formula addresses the pattern by clearing Heat-toxin from the Ying level (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao), draining Heart Fire downward through the Heart-Small Intestine-Bladder pathway (Chuan Mu Tong), guiding the Heat-clearing strategy to the upper Jiao and Shen channel system (Jie Geng), and supporting the righteous Qi during the treatment course (Huang Qi, Gan Cao).

In TCVM theory, the righteous Qi is the body's own healing and defensive energy, and an aggressive Heat-toxin-clearing treatment course using multiple cold, bitter, and draining herbs over 2 months carries the risk of depleting the body's Qi and Wei (Defensive) Qi alongside the pathogen. Without a Qi-supporting herb, a prolonged course of the formula's cold, clearing, and draining herbs could leave the body more vulnerable to further pathogen invasion once the treatment course is complete. Huang Qi addresses this risk by tonifying the Spleen and Lung Qi and strengthening the body's Wei Qi throughout the treatment course, ensuring that the body's defensive function is supported rather than depleted by the formula's aggressive clearing strategy. The balance between clearing the pathogen (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao, Chuan Mu Tong) and supporting the righteous Qi (Huang Qi, Gan Cao) is what distinguishes a well-balanced classical TCVM formula from a one-dimensional clearing strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Damp Heat In Mind differ from other Heat-clearing TCVM formulas, and when is it specifically appropriate?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDamp Heat In Mind is distinguished from general Heat-clearing formulas by its specific emphasis on the Heart channel and Shen-disturbing component of the Damp-Heat pattern. Many TCVM Heat-clearing formulas address Qi-level or Blood-level Heat without a specific Heart channel and Shen-affecting focus. Damp Heat In Mind's inclusion of Lian Qiao (which specifically clears Heart and Pericardium Heat) and Chuan Mu Tong (which specifically drains Heart Fire through the Heart-Small Intestine-Bladder pathway) gives this formula a specifically Heart channel-targeted and Shen-clearing action that distinguishes it from broader Heat-clearing formulas. It is most specifically appropriate when the Damp-Heat presentation includes signs of Shen disturbance, Heart channel Heat, or neurological-level Damp-Heat manifestations rather than purely systemic or superficial Heat-toxin presentations. The formula's Qing Ying Tang classical antecedent from the Warm Disease school reflects its design for Heat-toxin presentations that have penetrated to the Ying level, distinguishing it from Wei- or Qi-level-only Heat presentations that would be addressed by different classical formulas. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate Heat-clearing formula based on your animal's specific TCVM pattern diagnosis, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-04-20T11:05:05-05:00","created_at":"2021-04-20T11:01:40-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Liver","Herb_Type_Capsule","Jing Tang Damp Heat Skin","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11540,"price_min":11540,"price_max":11540,"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":39300134174790,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E5014C2-200","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Damp Heat In Mind 0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":11540,"weight":454,"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-Capsules_236d45fe-92c4-42b5-ad14-bd124594ba31.jpg?v=1631812721"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_236d45fe-92c4-42b5-ad14-bd124594ba31.jpg?v=1631812721","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang Da Bu Yin Wan 600g Powder - TCVM Pet Supply","id":20316890759238,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_236d45fe-92c4-42b5-ad14-bd124594ba31.jpg?v=1631812721"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_236d45fe-92c4-42b5-ad14-bd124594ba31.jpg?v=1631812721","width":1024}],"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 Damp Heat In Mind\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Heat, removes Toxin, and tonifies Qi to address the TCVM pattern of Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin accumulation affecting the Shen and the Ying (Nutritive) channel level in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Qing Ying Tang from \u003cem\u003eWen Bing Tiao Bian\u003c\/em\u003e (Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases) written by Wu Ju-Tang in 1798, this seven-herb formula draws on the foundational Warm Disease school strategy of clearing Heat-toxin from the Ying level while simultaneously tonifying the righteous Qi to support the body's defensive function during aggressive Heat-toxin clearance. The formula combines a principal Heat-toxin-clearing and antitoxin layer (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao), a Heart channel-draining and Damp-Heat-descending herb (Chuan Mu Tong), an upper Jiao-opening and guiding herb (Jie Geng), a Heat-clearing and harmonizing herb (Gan Cao), and a Qi-tonifying herb that supports the body's defensive Qi during the treatment course (Huang Qi). Available as 0.5g capsules (200 count). No contraindications or warnings are listed. May be used for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

The Heart houses the Shen in TCVM, and when Heat or Fire accumulates in the Heart channel or Pericardium, it directly disturbs the Shen, potentially causing neurological signs, behavioral changes, agitation, clouded consciousness, or other Shen-disturbing manifestations. Based on Qing Ying Tang from Wu Ju-Tang's foundational Warm Disease school text \u003cem\u003eWen Bing Tiao Bian\u003c\/em\u003e (1798), this formula addresses the pattern by clearing Heat-toxin from the Ying level (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao), draining Heart Fire downward through the Heart-Small Intestine-Bladder pathway (Chuan Mu Tong), guiding the Heat-clearing strategy to the upper Jiao and Shen channel system (Jie Geng), and supporting the righteous Qi during the treatment course (Huang Qi, Gan Cao). Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Damp Heat In Mind administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDamp Heat In Mind is available as 0.5g capsules (200 count) for dogs and cats, and can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat.

For horses, the guideline is up to 100g twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian. No contraindications or warnings are listed.

In TCVM theory, the righteous Qi is the body's own healing and defensive energy, and an aggressive Heat-toxin-clearing treatment course using multiple cold, bitter, and draining herbs over 2 months carries the risk of depleting the body's Qi and Wei (Defensive) Qi alongside the pathogen. Without a Qi-supporting herb, a prolonged course of the formula's cold, clearing, and draining herbs could leave the body more vulnerable to further pathogen invasion once the treatment course is complete. Huang Qi addresses this risk by tonifying the Spleen and Lung Qi and strengthening the body's Wei Qi throughout the treatment course, ensuring that the body's defensive function is supported rather than depleted by the formula's aggressive clearing strategy. The balance between clearing the pathogen (Ban Lan Gen, Jin Yin Hua, Lian Qiao, Chuan Mu Tong) and supporting the righteous Qi (Huang Qi, Gan Cao) is what distinguishes a well-balanced classical TCVM formula from a one-dimensional clearing strategy, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Damp Heat In Mind differ from other Heat-clearing TCVM formulas, and when is it specifically appropriate?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDamp Heat In Mind is distinguished from general Heat-clearing formulas by its specific emphasis on the Heart channel and Shen-disturbing component of the Damp-Heat pattern. Many TCVM Heat-clearing formulas address Qi-level or Blood-level Heat without a specific Heart channel and Shen-affecting focus. Damp Heat In Mind's inclusion of Lian Qiao (which specifically clears Heart and Pericardium Heat) and Chuan Mu Tong (which specifically drains Heart Fire through the Heart-Small Intestine-Bladder pathway) gives this formula a specifically Heart channel-targeted and Shen-clearing action that distinguishes it from broader Heat-clearing formulas. It is most specifically appropriate when the Damp-Heat presentation includes signs of Shen disturbance, Heart channel Heat, or neurological-level Damp-Heat manifestations rather than purely systemic or superficial Heat-toxin presentations. The formula's Qing Ying Tang classical antecedent from the Warm Disease school reflects its design for Heat-toxin presentations that have penetrated to the Ying level, distinguishing it from Wei- or Qi-level-only Heat presentations that would be addressed by different classical formulas. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the most appropriate Heat-clearing formula based on your animal's specific TCVM pattern diagnosis, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
