The classical four herbs are Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao (White Peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum). Dandruff Formula is a modification of this classical base, retaining the Blood-nourishing strategy while adding Sheng Di Huang, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng, Dan Shen, Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, and Xuan Shen to extend the formula's action to Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and skin-specific Blood-invigorating functions. This reflects the classical TCVM approach of using Si Wu Tang as a Blood-nourishing foundation and adding targeted herbs for the specific pattern and organ system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does a skin formula focus on nourishing Blood and Yin rather than only clearing Wind-Heat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIn TCVM, chronic skin conditions involving dryness, flaking, itching, and hypersensitivity often stem from Blood and Yin deficiency rather than excess Wind-Heat alone. When Blood and Yin are insufficient, the skin loses nourishment and moisture, becoming dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat invasion. Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind - Blood failing to nourish and anchor Wind - which rises to the skin and generates itching and hypersensitivity from within rather than from an external pathogen. Dandruff Formula addresses both by nourishing the Blood and Yin that root the skin dryness and Wind-Heat susceptibility, while clearing the Wind-Heat that has already accumulated in the skin channels. Treating only the Wind-Heat without nourishing the underlying Blood and Yin deficiency would provide incomplete and temporary relief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T16:51:39-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T16:51:38-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Immune","Health_Need_Skin_and_Coat","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Dandruff","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":11590,"price_min":11590,"price_max":14500,"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":45926213288006,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A2046C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":13995250155590,"product_id":8486360580166,"position":2,"created_at":"2020-05-28T05:33:24-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:13:08-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Dandruff Formula Concentrated 90g Powder -

In TCVM, these signs arise when insufficient Blood and Yin fail to nourish and moisten the skin, leaving it dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat; Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind (Blood failing to anchor Wind), which rises to the skin and generates itching from within. Dandruff Formula addresses both the deficiency root and the Wind-Heat manifestation simultaneously.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Dandruff Formula 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.

The classical four herbs are Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao (White Peony), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum). Dandruff Formula is a modification of this classical base, retaining the Blood-nourishing strategy while adding Sheng Di Huang, He Shou Wu, Ji Xue Teng, Dan Shen, Bai Xian Pi, Di Fu Zi, and Xuan Shen to extend the formula's action to Wind-Heat-clearing, itching-stopping, and skin-specific Blood-invigorating functions. This reflects the classical TCVM approach of using Si Wu Tang as a Blood-nourishing foundation and adding targeted herbs for the specific pattern and organ system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does a skin formula focus on nourishing Blood and Yin rather than only clearing Wind-Heat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIn TCVM, chronic skin conditions involving dryness, flaking, itching, and hypersensitivity often stem from Blood and Yin deficiency rather than excess Wind-Heat alone. When Blood and Yin are insufficient, the skin loses nourishment and moisture, becoming dry and susceptible to Wind-Heat invasion. Blood deficiency can also generate internal Wind - Blood failing to nourish and anchor Wind - which rises to the skin and generates itching and hypersensitivity from within rather than from an external pathogen. Dandruff Formula addresses both by nourishing the Blood and Yin that root the skin dryness and Wind-Heat susceptibility, while clearing the Wind-Heat that has already accumulated in the skin channels. Treating only the Wind-Heat without nourishing the underlying Blood and Yin deficiency would provide incomplete and temporary relief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
