Coix Formula is a Jing Tang TCVM herbal formula recommended by holistic veterinarians to strengthen the Spleen, drain Damp, dispel Wind-Damp, warm the channels, and resolve stagnation in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Yi Yi Ren San, this twelve-herb formula combines Spleen-strengthening, Damp-draining, Wind-Damp-dispelling, channel-warming, and Blood-invigorating herbs specifically selected for musculoskeletal and joint patterns rooted in Wind-Damp obstruction with Spleen Qi deficiency. Available in a 90g Concentrated Powder, 0.5g Concentrated Capsules (100 count), and Teapills (200 count). This formula contains Chuan Wu (Aconite), a potent Yang-warming herb; use as directed by your veterinarian only. May cause a positive drug test result. Contraindicated in pregnancy and in patients with Yin deficiency signs. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or vomiting. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Coix Formula is a twelve-herb modification of Yi Yi Ren San combining Spleen-strengthening, Damp-draining, Wind-Damp-dispelling, channel-warming, and Blood-invigorating herbs to address Wind-Cold-Damp bi syndrome with Spleen Qi deficiency:
Coix Formula contains a potent Yang-warming herb (Chuan Wu, Aconite), channel-warming herbs (Gui Zhi), Blood-invigorating herbs (Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui), and Wind-Damp-dispelling herbs (Qiang Huo, Du Huo, Fang Feng, Xi Xian Cao) that may interact with certain medications. This formula contains Chuan Wu (Aconite), which may cause a positive drug test result. Contraindicated in pregnancy and in patients with Yin deficiency signs. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or vomiting. 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 anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, cardiac medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Use for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Coix Formula is used in TCVM for Wind-Cold-Damp bi syndrome with Spleen Qi deficiency - a pattern common in dogs, cats, and horses with joint stiffness, musculoskeletal heaviness, swelling, and channel obstruction associated with Damp and Cold lodging in the channels and joints. In TCVM, bi syndrome (obstruction syndrome) refers to the blockage of Qi and Blood flow through the channels by Wind, Cold, or Damp; Coix Formula specifically addresses the Damp-predominant and Cold-Damp types with an underlying Spleen Qi deficiency. Contraindicated in patients with Yin deficiency signs (polydipsia, panting, heat intolerance) and in pregnancy.
For horses, give 3g (2 large scoops) of concentrated powder 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; the small scoop holds approximately 0.4g. 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, or as directed by your veterinarian. Teapills can be hidden in food or a soft treat. Use for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Coix Formula contains several potent Yang-warming and channel-warming herbs, particularly Chuan Wu (Aconite) and Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twig), that are highly effective for Cold-Damp bi syndrome but can worsen Heat signs in patients with underlying Yin deficiency. In TCVM, Yin deficiency generates internal Heat when the cooling, moistening Yin is insufficient to anchor and balance the body's Yang energy. Adding potent warming herbs to a Yin-deficient patient further depletes Yin and exacerbates the internal Heat, potentially worsening the patient's condition. Key signs of Yin deficiency to monitor include polydipsia (excessive thirst), panting, and heat intolerance - if your pet shows these signs, consult your veterinarian before using this formula, as a different formula addressing the Yin deficiency component may be more appropriate.
Qiang Huo (Notopterygium) and Du Huo (Pubescent Angelica) are a classical Wind-Damp-dispelling pair in TCVM, each addressing Wind-Damp bi syndrome at different levels of the body. Qiang Huo has a stronger action on the upper body - the neck, shoulders, and upper limbs - and works at the superficial Tai Yang channel level, making it most effective for Wind-Damp obstruction in the upper body and superficial channels. Du Huo has a stronger action on the lower body - the lower back, hips, and hind limbs - and works at the deeper Shao Yin channel level, making it most effective for chronic Wind-Damp bi syndrome affecting the lower body and deeper channels. Together they provide comprehensive Wind-Damp-dispelling coverage across the full extent of the body, addressing the channel obstruction at both the superficial and deep levels and from the upper to the lower body.
