In TCVM, the Liver governs the free flow of Qi throughout the body and stores Blood, while the Gallbladder stores and secretes bile as the Liver's paired organ. When Damp-Heat accumulates in the Liver and Gallbladder channels, it obstructs Liver Qi's free flow, causes bile to overflow into the tissues (generating jaundice), disrupts the digestive function of the middle Jiao, and drives Heat toxin to accumulate in the Blood and tissues. Yin Chen Hao Tang is the most important classical Chinese formula for Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat with jaundice and has been used in both human TCM and TCVM for this pattern for over a thousand years.

Its specific affinity for the Liver and Gallbladder channels, combined with its potent ability to clear both the Damp and Heat components of the Liver Damp-Heat pattern simultaneously, makes it irreplaceable in formulas targeting this pattern. In classical Chinese medical theory, jaundice (Huang Dan) results when Damp-Heat in the Liver and Gallbladder forces bile to overflow out of its normal channels into the skin and tissues, generating the characteristic yellow discoloration of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Yin Chen Hao's Damp-Heat-clearing action specifically addresses this pathological mechanism - it clears the Damp-Heat that is forcing bile overflow and drives the pathogenic Damp-Heat out through the urinary pathway. The formula is named for this herb, both in its Chinese name (Yin Chen Hao Tang) and in its English name (Artemisia Combination), reflecting its status as the indispensable chief ingredient without which the formula cannot function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is the role of Da Huang (Rhubarb) in a Liver Damp-Heat formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDa Huang (Rheum palmatum, Rhubarb root) plays a critical strategic role in Artemisia Combination by providing a second drainage pathway for the Liver Damp-Heat - through the bowel - that complements Yin Chen Hao's primary urinary drainage strategy. In classical Chinese medicine, the treatment of Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat with jaundice employs a dual-drainage strategy: Yin Chen Hao and the formula's urinary-draining herbs (Ze Xie, Zhu Ling, Fu Ling) drive the Damp-Heat out through the urine, while Da Huang purges the accumulated Heat and Damp-Heat downward through the bowel. This dual-pathway approach ensures that the Damp-Heat is cleared through both elimination routes simultaneously, increasing the formula's overall efficacy. Da Huang's additional Blood-invigorating and Heat toxin-resolving actions address the Blood stagnation and toxin accumulation that develop alongside Liver Damp-Heat, making it a multifunctional herb in this formula rather than simply a laxative addition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T14:53:25-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T14:53:23-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Liver","Herb_Type_Capsule","Herb_Type_Powder","JT_Artemisia","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11440,"price_min":11440,"price_max":18370,"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":45925545607238,"title":"600g Powder","option1":"600g Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"C3915-600","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5911350313009,"product_id":8486322143302,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-05-01T11:31:53-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:03:02-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 600g Powder","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782","variant_ids":[45925545607238]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses - 600g Powder","public_title":"600g Powder","options":["600g Powder"],"price":18370,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 600g Powder","id":2178301657137,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":45925545574470,"title":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","option1":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"C3915C2-200","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5911337664561,"product_id":8486322143302,"position":2,"created_at":"2019-05-01T11:29:34-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:16:59-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 0.5g Capsule #200","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_0733b827-f40d-4290-99d4-0317a180b00d.jpg?v=1631812619","variant_ids":[45925545574470]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses - 0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","public_title":"0.5g Capsules (200 Count)","options":["0.5g Capsules (200 Count)"],"price":11440,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 0.5g Capsule #200","id":2178297135153,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_0733b827-f40d-4290-99d4-0317a180b00d.jpg?v=1631812619"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782","\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_0733b827-f40d-4290-99d4-0317a180b00d.jpg?v=1631812619"],"featured_image":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 600g Powder","id":2178301657137,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-powder.jpg?v=1631811782","width":1024},{"alt":"Jing Tang Artemisia Combination 0.5g Capsule #200","id":2178297135153,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_0733b827-f40d-4290-99d4-0317a180b00d.jpg?v=1631812619"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1024,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/JingTang-Capsules_0733b827-f40d-4290-99d4-0317a180b00d.jpg?v=1631812619","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;

In TCVM, the Liver governs the free flow of Qi throughout the body and stores Blood, while the Gallbladder stores and secretes bile as the Liver's paired organ. When Damp-Heat accumulates in the Liver and Gallbladder channels, it obstructs Liver Qi's free flow, causes bile to overflow into the tissues (generating jaundice), disrupts the digestive function of the middle Jiao, and drives Heat toxin to accumulate in the Blood and tissues. Yin Chen Hao Tang is the most important classical Chinese formula for Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat with jaundice and has been used in both human TCM and TCVM for this pattern for over a thousand years. 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 Artemisia Combination 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 15g of powder twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian; 1 level large plastic scoop holds approximately 6g (approximately 2.5 large scoops for 15g).

Its specific affinity for the Liver and Gallbladder channels, combined with its potent ability to clear both the Damp and Heat components of the Liver Damp-Heat pattern simultaneously, makes it irreplaceable in formulas targeting this pattern. In classical Chinese medical theory, jaundice (Huang Dan) results when Damp-Heat in the Liver and Gallbladder forces bile to overflow out of its normal channels into the skin and tissues, generating the characteristic yellow discoloration of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Yin Chen Hao's Damp-Heat-clearing action specifically addresses this pathological mechanism - it clears the Damp-Heat that is forcing bile overflow and drives the pathogenic Damp-Heat out through the urinary pathway. The formula is named for this herb, both in its Chinese name (Yin Chen Hao Tang) and in its English name (Artemisia Combination), reflecting its status as the indispensable chief ingredient without which the formula cannot function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhat is the role of Da Huang (Rhubarb) in a Liver Damp-Heat formula?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDa Huang (Rheum palmatum, Rhubarb root) plays a critical strategic role in Artemisia Combination by providing a second drainage pathway for the Liver Damp-Heat - through the bowel - that complements Yin Chen Hao's primary urinary drainage strategy. In classical Chinese medicine, the treatment of Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat with jaundice employs a dual-drainage strategy: Yin Chen Hao and the formula's urinary-draining herbs (Ze Xie, Zhu Ling, Fu Ling) drive the Damp-Heat out through the urine, while Da Huang purges the accumulated Heat and Damp-Heat downward through the bowel. This dual-pathway approach ensures that the Damp-Heat is cleared through both elimination routes simultaneously, increasing the formula's overall efficacy. Da Huang's additional Blood-invigorating and Heat toxin-resolving actions address the Blood stagnation and toxin accumulation that develop alongside Liver Damp-Heat, making it a multifunctional herb in this formula rather than simply a laxative addition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
