Gui Pi Tang is one of the most celebrated formulas from this text and has been in continuous clinical use for over 770 years, making it one of the most time-tested Blood and Qi-tonifying formulas in the Chinese materia medica.

Gan Jiang is dried, more warming and penetrating, and primarily used to warm the Spleen and Stomach, disperse interior Cold, and support the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions. Gui Pi Tang uses Gan Jiang because the formula's primary goal is to warm the middle Jiao and support the Spleen's Qi-generating and Blood-generating functions from the interior, rather than to disperse exterior Cold or stop nausea. The warming and interior-penetrating nature of Gan Jiang makes it the appropriate form for a Spleen Qi and Blood-tonifying formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-24T09:29:50-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-24T09:29:49-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Herb_Type_Teapill","Jing Tang Gui Pi Tang","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":5055,"price_min":5055,"price_max":13730,"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":45929244917830,"title":"0.5g Concentrated Capsules (100 Count)","option1":"0.5g Concentrated Capsules (100 Count)","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A3340CC212","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":30654026809414,"product_id":8486633472070,"position":1,"created_at":"2023-11-14T14:31:48-06:00","updated_at":"2023-11-14T16:57:45-06:00","alt":"Jing Tang Gui Pi Tang Concentrated 0.5g Capsules #100","width":1024,"height":1024,"src":"\/\/tcvmpet.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/JingTang-ConcentratedCapsules_8551d0b8-1460-49c3-b6b6-5533a6896a0c.jpg?v=1700002665","variant_ids":[45929244917830]},"available":true,"name":"Jing Tang Gui Pi Tang Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses -

Gui Pi Tang is one of the most celebrated formulas from this text and has been in continuous clinical use for over 770 years, making it one of the most time-tested Blood and Qi-tonifying formulas in the Chinese materia medica.

Gan Jiang is dried, more warming and penetrating, and primarily used to warm the Spleen and Stomach, disperse interior Cold, and support the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions. Gui Pi Tang uses Gan Jiang because the formula's primary goal is to warm the middle Jiao and support the Spleen's Qi-generating and Blood-generating functions from the interior, rather than to disperse exterior Cold or stop nausea. The warming and interior-penetrating nature of Gan Jiang makes it the appropriate form for a Spleen Qi and Blood-tonifying formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
