Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

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):

  • Du Huo (Angelica pubescens) - Pubescent angelica root: Dispels Wind-Cold-Damp, relieves Bi syndrome, and addresses musculoskeletal stiffness and discomfort from Wind-Cold-Damp with a specific affinity for the lower body, hind limbs, and Kidney and Bladder channels; the formula's primary Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing chief herb and the herb from which the classical Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang takes its name; Du Huo's specific lower body channel affinity makes it the most appropriate lead herb for Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome patterns affecting the hindquarters, hind limbs, and lumbar region
  • Qiang Huo (Notopterygium incisum) - Notopterygium rhizome: Dispels Wind-Cold-Damp, relieves Bi syndrome, and addresses musculoskeletal stiffness from Wind-Cold-Damp with an affinity for the upper body, neck, and Bladder channel; works with Du Huo as the formula's Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing pair, covering both the upper and lower body channels to ensure the Wind-Cold-Damp pathogen is cleared from the full extent of the Bladder and musculoskeletal channel system
  • Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia divaricata) - Ledebouriella root: Dispels Wind, releases the exterior, and addresses Wind-Damp Bi syndrome; the formula's Wind-dispersing and exterior-releasing herb, addressing the Wind component of the Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome pattern and working alongside Du Huo and Qiang Huo to ensure all three Bi pathogenic factors are addressed at the channel and exterior level
  • Qin Jiao (Gentiana macrophylla) - Large-leaf gentian root: Clears Wind-Damp, relaxes sinews, and clears deficiency Heat; the formula's Wind-Damp-clearing and sinew-relaxing herb with a bitter, slightly cold nature that balances the formula's overall warming strategy and addresses any deficiency Heat component of the Bi syndrome pattern arising from the Kidney deficiency underlying the chronic Wind-Cold-Damp obstruction
  • Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica) - Dahurian angelica root: Dispels Wind-Cold, dries Dampness, and opens channels; contributes additional Wind-Cold-dispersing and Damp-drying action to the formula's channel-clearing layer with an affinity for the Yang Ming channel system, ensuring the formula's Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing action reaches the musculoskeletal channels associated with the Yang Ming pathway
  • Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) - Morinda root: Tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens the sinews and bones, and dispels Wind-Damp; the formula's primary Kidney Yang-tonifying herb with the additional benefit of Wind-Damp-dispelling action, bridging the formula's Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing and Kidney Yang-tonifying strategies by addressing both the pathogenic factor and the Kidney Yang deficiency root simultaneously
  • Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea corylifolia) - Psoralea fruit: Tonifies Kidney Yang and strengthens bones; the formula's Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herb with a specific affinity for Kidney Yang deficiency presenting with cold signs, bone weakness, and musculoskeletal deficiency; do not use during pregnancy, as Bu Gu Zhi's warming and moving nature warrants caution during pregnancy
  • Gu Sui Bu (Drynaria roosii) - Drynaria rhizome: Tonifies the Kidney, strengthens bones, and promotes bone and sinew healing; the formula's bone-healing and Kidney-tonifying herb with a specific affinity for Kidney deficiency patterns presenting with bone fragility, sinew weakness, and musculoskeletal discomfort; Gu Sui Bu's specific bone-healing action makes it essential in formulas addressing chronic Bi syndrome with underlying bone and sinew deficiency from Kidney deficiency
  • Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides) - Eucommia bark: Tonifies Kidney and Liver, strengthens sinews and bones, and benefits the back and hind limbs; the formula's Kidney and Liver sinew-and-bone-strengthening herb with a specific affinity for Kidney deficiency presenting with lumbar and hindquarter weakness; Du Zhong's combined Kidney and Liver tonifying action addresses both the Kidney Yang deficiency root and the Liver sinew deficiency component of the musculoskeletal pattern
  • Sang Ji Sheng (Loranthus parasiticus) - Loranthus stem: Tonifies Liver and Kidney, strengthens sinews and bones, and dispels Wind-Damp; bridges the formula's Wind-Damp-clearing and Kidney-tonifying strategies, providing Liver and Kidney sinew-and-bone tonification alongside Wind-Damp-dispelling action; Sang Ji Sheng's gentle, nourishing nature makes it particularly suited to chronic Bi syndrome patterns where long-standing Wind-Damp obstruction has led to secondary Liver and Kidney deficiency
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon bark: Warms and tonifies Kidney Yang, warms the channels, disperses Cold, and leads Fire back to its source; the formula's channel-warming and Kidney Yang-tonifying herb, addressing the Cold component of the Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome pattern and the Kidney Yang deficiency root by simultaneously warming the channels and tonifying Kidney Yang; do not use during pregnancy
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) - Ligusticum rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, dispels Wind, and unblocks the channels; the formula's primary Blood-invigorating and channel-unblocking herb, addressing the Blood stagnation component of the chronic Wind-Cold-Damp Bi syndrome pattern and ensuring the tonification and channel-clearing strategies are supported by appropriate Blood movement through the affected musculoskeletal channels
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes Blood and invigorates Blood; the formula's Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating herb, providing the Blood nourishment needed to address the Blood deficiency component of the Kidney and Liver deficiency pattern while simultaneously contributing Blood-invigorating action to resolve the Blood stagnation in the musculoskeletal channels; do not use during pregnancy
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis) - Cyathula root: Tonifies the Liver and Kidney, strengthens sinews and bones, invigorates Blood, and guides the formula's actions downward to the hind limbs and lower body channels; the formula's downward-guiding and Blood-invigorating herb, ensuring the formula's Wind-Cold-Damp-clearing, Kidney-tonifying, and Blood-invigorating actions are directed specifically to the hind limbs, lower back, and hindquarter channels where the Bi syndrome pattern is most prominently manifesting

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Equine Du Huo used for in TCVM?

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.

How is Equine Du Huo administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

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.

What is Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang, and how does Equine Du Huo relate to it?

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. 

Why is Equine Du Huo contraindicated during pregnancy?

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.
