Breathe Easier B is a ten-herb modification of the classical Ge Jie San framework, replacing the original's Ge Jie (Gecko) chief with a broader combination of Lung-Kidney tonifying, Lung Yin-nourishing, Qi-descending, and Phlegm-resolving herbs for Lung and Kidney Qi deficiency with Yin deficiency and impaired Lung Qi descending:
Breathe Easier B contains Lung and Spleen Qi-tonifying herbs (Dang Shen), Kidney Yang-warming herbs (Rou Gui), Lung Yin-nourishing herbs (Mai Men Dong, Bai He), a Lung-astricting herb (Wu Wei Zi), Qi-descending herbs (Zi Su Zi, Xing Ren, Qian Hu), a Phlegm-clearing herb (Zhe Bei Mu), and a channel-opening herb (Jie Geng) that may interact with certain medications. Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark) may interact with antidiabetic and anticoagulant medications. Xing Ren (Apricot seed) should be used at recommended therapeutic doses; follow veterinarian guidance. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include antidiabetic medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, antihypertensive medications, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Use with caution during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Use for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Breathe Easier B is used in TCVM for Lung and Kidney Qi deficiency patterns with Lung Yin deficiency and impaired Lung Qi descending - a pattern common in dogs, cats, and horses with chronic respiratory conditions involving both Lung weakness and Kidney failure to receive Qi. In TCVM, the Lung and Kidney have a critical functional relationship through Qi: the Lung descends Qi to the Kidney, and the Kidney receives and holds the Qi sent down by the Lung. When either organ is deficient, this Lung-Kidney Qi exchange is disrupted, generating chronic breathlessness, particularly on exertion, wheezing, and reduced respiratory capacity. Breathe Easier B addresses this combined Lung-Kidney pattern more comprehensively than formulas that target only Lung Qi deficiency. Use with caution during pregnancy, and stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.
For horses using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) twice daily; for the 600g Regular Strength Powder, give 10g to 20g twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily; for the 0.5g Concentrated 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 concentrated capsule once daily; for the 600g Regular Strength Powder, give 0.5g per 10 to 20 lb body weight, or as directed by your veterinarian. Use for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Breathe Easier B is based on a modification of Ge Jie San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-Heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by the brothers Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608 during the Ming dynasty. Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji is one of the most important classical Chinese veterinary medicine texts specifically focused on equine medicine - a fitting source for a respiratory formula used in horses. The classical Ge Jie San traditionally uses Ge Jie (Gecko) as its chief herb, valued in TCVM for its potent Lung and Kidney Yang-tonifying and Qi-receiving properties. Jing Tang's Breathe Easier B modification replaces or supplements the traditional chief with a broader combination of Lung-Kidney tonifying, Yin-nourishing, and Qi-descending herbs appropriate for the combined Lung-Kidney Qi and Yin deficiency pattern it addresses in companion animal and equine patients.
Rou Gui (Cinnamon bark) is included in Breathe Easier B specifically to warm and strengthen Kidney Yang and restore the Kidney's ability to receive and hold the Qi descended by the Lung - a function called납Qi납 or receiving Qi in TCVM. In the Lung-Kidney Qi relationship, the Kidney's Yang-powered receiving function is just as important as the Lung's descending function: if the Kidney Yang is insufficient, the Kidney cannot grasp the Qi sent down by the Lung, and the Qi rebels upward, generating chronic breathlessness and wheezing that worsen on exertion. Rou Gui's warming, anchoring action on the Kidney Yang directly addresses this receiving failure, making it a classical addition to respiratory formulas for Lung-Kidney Qi deficiency patterns where Kidney Yang deficiency is a contributing factor. This is why formulas for chronic respiratory conditions with a Kidney component often include a warming Kidney Yang herb alongside the Lung-targeted herbs.
