Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Equine Du Huo is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that tonifies Kidney Yang and strengthens bones, clears Wind-Cold-Damp, invigorates Qi and Blood, and resolves stagnation to address patterns of Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome with Kidney Yang and Liver Blood deficiency in horses and dogs. Based on Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (Solitary Hermit) from Qian Jin Yao Fang (Thousand Ducat Formulas) written by Sun Si-Miao in 652, this fourteen-herb formula expands the classical Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang framework with additional Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs to address the combined Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome, Kidney Yang deficiency, Liver and Kidney sinew-and-bone deficiency, and Qi and Blood stagnation pattern most commonly seen in horses and dogs presenting with hindquarter and musculoskeletal discomfort from Bi syndrome. Available as 600g standard powder. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Equine Du Huo is a fourteen-herb formula expanding the classical Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang framework, organized around a Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing and channel-unblocking layer (Du Huo, Qiang Huo, Fang Feng, Qin Jiao, Bai Zhi), an expanded Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening layer (Ba Ji Tian, Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu, Du Zhong, Sang Ji Sheng, Rou Gui), and a Qi and Blood-invigorating and downward-guiding layer (Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui, Chuan Niu Xi):
Equine Du Huo contains Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing herbs including Du Huo (pubescent angelica root), Qiang Huo (notopterygium rhizome), Fang Feng (ledebouriella root), Qin Jiao (large-leaf gentian root), and Bai Zhi (dahurian angelica root), Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs including Ba Ji Tian (morinda root), Bu Gu Zhi (psoralea fruit), Gu Sui Bu (drynaria rhizome), Du Zhong (eucommia bark), Sang Ji Sheng (loranthus stem), and Rou Gui (cinnamon bark), and Blood-invigorating herbs including Chuan Xiong (ligusticum rhizome), Dang Gui (dong quai root), and Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root). Several herbs including Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong, Chuan Niu Xi, and Rou Gui may affect platelet function and coagulation; Bu Gu Zhi may interact with photosensitizing medications; multiple herbs containing volatile oils may affect the metabolism of medications processed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Horses and dogs on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in equine and canine patients remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, photosensitizing medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and animals managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Equine Du Huo is indicated for horses and dogs with TCVM patterns of Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome with Kidney Yang deficiency and Liver-Kidney sinew-and-bone deficiency, where Wind-Cold-Damp has invaded and obstructed the musculoskeletal channels while the underlying Kidney Yang and Liver-Kidney Essence deficiency have impaired the body's ability to warm, nourish, and maintain the sinews and bones. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it as a comprehensive TCVM musculoskeletal support formula for chronic Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome patterns in horses and dogs presenting with hindquarter and hind limb stiffness, back weakness, and musculoskeletal discomfort from Bi syndrome. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Equine Du Huo.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For horses using the 600g powder, the guideline is 10g to 20g (approximately 1.5 to 3 large scoops) twice daily as a top dressing on feed, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 7g. For dogs using the 600g powder, the guideline is 0.5g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 2g. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang (Solitary Hermit Decoction) is one of the most foundational Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome formulas in Chinese medicine, first recorded by Sun Si-Miao in Qian Jin Yao Fang in 652. It is designed to simultaneously clear Wind-Cold-Damp Bi obstruction from the channels while tonifying the Liver and Kidney deficiency root that allows Wind-Cold-Damp to accumulate and persist. The classical formula combines Du Huo and Qiang Huo to clear Wind-Cold-Damp, Sang Ji Sheng and Du Zhong to tonify the Liver and Kidney, and Blood-nourishing and Qi-moving herbs to ensure the clearing and tonifying strategy is supported by appropriate Blood and Qi movement. Jing Tang's Equine Du Huo expands this classical framework by adding additional Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs (Ba Ji Tian, Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu) that address the more significant Kidney Yang deficiency and bone weakness patterns seen in horses and aging dogs presenting with chronic Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome and hindquarter musculoskeletal weakness.
Equine Du Huo contains several herbs that are contraindicated or require caution during pregnancy in classical Chinese medicine, including Dang Gui (dong quai root), Chuan Xiong (ligusticum rhizome), and Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root), which are Blood-invigorating herbs with uterine-stimulating and downward-moving actions that may affect uterine Qi and Blood movement; Rou Gui (cinnamon bark) and Bu Gu Zhi (psoralea fruit), which have strong warming and Yang-tonifying actions; and Du Huo (pubescent angelica root), which has dispersing and moving actions. The combined dispersing, Blood-invigorating, channel-moving, and warming actions of this formula's herb combination represent a pregnancy contraindication rather than a caution. Do not use during pregnancy. Contact your authorizing veterinarian immediately if your animal is or may be pregnant before administering this formula.
