The classical formula uses Cang Zhu, Hou Po, Chen Pi, and Gan Cao to dry Dampness, move Qi, harmonize the Stomach, and address Spleen Damp-Cold patterns affecting digestion and GI motility. Jing Tang's Equine GI Formula (Ma Wei Chang He) is a TCVM modification of Ping Wei San that extends the classical framework for equine GI patterns by adding Qing Pi (Liver Qi-moving) and Zhi Shi (stronger Qi-breaking) to address deeper Qi stagnation, Huang Qin and Lian Qiao to clear the Damp-Heat component common in equine GI patterns, Shan Zha to resolve food stagnation and support GI motility, and Shan Yao to tonify Spleen Qi and provide balancing moisture alongside the formula's drying herbs. These modifications adapt the classical Ping Wei San framework specifically to the Damp, Heat, stagnation, and Spleen Qi deficiency patterns typical in equine GI presentations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Equine GI Formula include both Damp-drying and Heat-clearing herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe inclusion of Heat-clearing herbs (Huang Qin, Lian Qiao) alongside Damp-drying herbs (Cang Zhu, Hou Po, Chen Pi) reflects the clinical reality that equine GI patterns frequently present as Damp-Heat rather than pure Damp-Cold. In classical Ping Wei San, the formula is primarily warming and drying, suited to Spleen Damp-Cold patterns. In equine GI presentations, however, accumulated Dampness often generates or combines with Heat in the GI tract, producing a Damp-Heat pattern where pure warming and drying herbs would be insufficient or potentially aggravating. By adding Huang Qin and Lian Qiao to clear the Damp-Heat component while retaining the Damp-drying and Qi-moving core of Ping Wei San, Equine GI Formula addresses the combined Damp and Heat pattern common in horse GI presentations, making it more broadly applicable to the range of equine GI Damp patterns seen in TCVM practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-24T08:33:42-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-24T08:33:41-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Els_PW_7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Equine GI","Product_Type_Herb","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":13655,"price_min":13655,"price_max":16762,"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":45929212477510,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"D0140C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":13995641602118,"product_id":8486622625862,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-05-28T07:20:27-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:41:22-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Equine GI Concentrated 90g Powder -

Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it as a foundational equine GI support formula for Damp-Spleen and Stomach Qi stagnation patterns. No contraindications and no warnings are listed for this formula.

The classical formula uses Cang Zhu, Hou Po, Chen Pi, and Gan Cao to dry Dampness, move Qi, harmonize the Stomach, and address Spleen Damp-Cold patterns affecting digestion and GI motility. Jing Tang's Equine GI Formula (Ma Wei Chang He) is a TCVM modification of Ping Wei San that extends the classical framework for equine GI patterns by adding Qing Pi (Liver Qi-moving) and Zhi Shi (stronger Qi-breaking) to address deeper Qi stagnation, Huang Qin and Lian Qiao to clear the Damp-Heat component common in equine GI patterns, Shan Zha to resolve food stagnation and support GI motility, and Shan Yao to tonify Spleen Qi and provide balancing moisture alongside the formula's drying herbs. These modifications adapt the classical Ping Wei San framework specifically to the Damp, Heat, stagnation, and Spleen Qi deficiency patterns typical in equine GI presentations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Equine GI Formula include both Damp-drying and Heat-clearing herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe inclusion of Heat-clearing herbs (Huang Qin, Lian Qiao) alongside Damp-drying herbs (Cang Zhu, Hou Po, Chen Pi) reflects the clinical reality that equine GI patterns frequently present as Damp-Heat rather than pure Damp-Cold. In classical Ping Wei San, the formula is primarily warming and drying, suited to Spleen Damp-Cold patterns. In equine GI presentations, however, accumulated Dampness often generates or combines with Heat in the GI tract, producing a Damp-Heat pattern where pure warming and drying herbs would be insufficient or potentially aggravating. By adding Huang Qin and Lian Qiao to clear the Damp-Heat component while retaining the Damp-drying and Qi-moving core of Ping Wei San, Equine GI Formula addresses the combined Damp and Heat pattern common in horse GI presentations, making it more broadly applicable to the range of equine GI Damp patterns seen in TCVM practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
