Named for its chief herb Han Lian Cao (Eclipta), this eleven-herb Jing Tang original formula pairs a Blood-cooling and bleeding-stopping chief duo (Han Lian Cao, Xian He Cao) with a Yang-tonifying pair (Yin Yang Huo, Suo Yang), a Spleen Qi-tonifying and Dampness-drying pair (Dang Shen, Bai Zhu), a Qi and Yin bridging herb (Shan Yao), a lower Jiao Dampness-clearing pair (Tu Fu Ling, Bi Xie), a Heat-toxin and Phlegm-resolving herb (Hu Zhang), and an upper Jiao-directing envoy (Jie Geng) to address both the acute Blood Heat and bleeding component and the underlying Qi and Yang deficiency that fails to contain Blood and transform Dampness. Available in concentrated powder and concentrated capsules. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for 3 to 6 months until the problem has cleared, or as directed by your veterinarian.

For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.4g and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily when that format is available, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.

In TCVM, Blood Heat with bleeding can arise not only from excess Heat but also from Qi and Yang deficiency failing to contain Blood within the vessels. When Yang deficiency is the root cause of both Dampness accumulation and the failure to contain Blood, addressing only the Blood Heat without tonifying the underlying Yang provides incomplete treatment and risks pattern recurrence. The formula's strategy is to cool the Blood Heat and stop bleeding acutely while simultaneously tonifying the Qi and Yang that root the pattern. The Shan Yao (Chinese yam) bridges these two strategies by tonifying both Qi and Yin, while Hu Zhang (bushy knotweed) provides Blood-invigorating action to prevent stasis from the astringing herbs.

Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for pets requiring simultaneous Blood cooling, Dampness clearing, and Qi and Yang tonification, particularly when accompanied by a red or pale tongue with a greasy coat, a mixed or complex pulse, and clinical signs reflecting both Blood Heat and underlying deficiency. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Han Lian Cao.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Han Lian Cao administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.4g and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily when that format is available, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for 3 to 6 months until the problem has cleared, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does Han Lian Cao contain both Blood-cooling herbs and Yang-tonifying herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe co-presence of Blood-cooling herbs (Han Lian Cao, Xian He Cao) and Yang-tonifying herbs (Yin Yang Huo, Suo Yang) in the same formula reflects the complex multi-pattern nature of the conditions this formula addresses. In TCVM, Blood Heat with bleeding can arise not only from excess Heat but also from Qi and Yang deficiency failing to contain Blood within the vessels. When Yang deficiency is the root cause of both Dampness accumulation and the failure to contain Blood, addressing only the Blood Heat without tonifying the underlying Yang provides incomplete treatment and risks pattern recurrence. The formula's strategy is to cool the Blood Heat and stop bleeding acutely while simultaneously tonifying the Qi and Yang that root the pattern. The Shan Yao (Chinese yam) bridges these two strategies by tonifying both Qi and Yin, while Hu Zhang (bushy knotweed) provides Blood-invigorating action to prevent stasis from the astringing herbs. Your holistic veterinarian will assess whether this multi-pattern formula is appropriate for your pet's specific presentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan Han Lian Cao be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHan Lian Cao is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive multi-pattern support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anticoagulants, hormone-modulating medications, or immunosuppressive drugs, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Han Lian Cao is appropriate based on your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
