Jing Tang Hot Hoof II Chinese Herbal Formula for Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hot Hoof II is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears Damp-Heat, clears Heat-toxin, activates Blood, and resolves Stagnation to address acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin patterns with Blood stagnation affecting the hooves and lower limbs in horses. Based on the classical Yin Chen San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses), written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608, this thirteen-herb formula pairs a powerful Damp-Heat-clearing chief (Yin Chen Hao) with a Heat-toxin-resolving and purging deputy triad (Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Da Huang), a Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing quartet (Hong Hua, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao), a Blood-nourishing assistant (Dang Gui), a Qi-moving pair (Zhi Ke, Qing Pi), a channel-directing herb (Jie Geng), and a harmonizing envoy (Gan Cao) to address the acute inflammatory component of hoof and lower limb patterns. Available in 90g concentrated powder or 600g standard powder. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Hot Hoof II is intended for use during the acute inflammatory phase for up to 2 months; once local inflammation is under control, transition to Hot Hoof I for 1 to 3 months of ongoing support. Dosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Hot Hoof II is a thirteen-herb formula organized around four functional layers: a Damp-Heat-clearing chief (Yin Chen Hao) with a Heat-toxin-resolving and purging deputy triad (Huang Qin, Zhi Zi, Da Huang), a Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing quintet (Hong Hua, Chi Shao, Chuan Xiong, Mo Yao, Dang Gui), a Qi-moving pair (Zhi Ke, Qing Pi) with a channel-directing herb (Jie Geng), and a harmonizing envoy (Gan Cao):

  • Yin Chen Hao (Artemisia capillaris) - Capillaris herb: The chief herb and the formula's namesake from Yin Chen San; powerfully clears Damp-Heat from the Liver and Gallbladder channels and the lower Jiao; the primary Damp-Heat-clearing agent directing the formula's principal action against Damp-Heat accumulation in the lower limbs and hooves
  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis) - Scutellaria root: Clears Heat, drains Fire, resolves toxins, and clears Damp-Heat from the upper and middle Jiao; supports Yin Chen Hao in clearing Damp-Heat and addresses the Heat-toxin component of the acute inflammatory pattern in the channels
  • Zhi Zi (Gardenia jasminoides) - Gardenia fruit: Clears Heat, drains Fire, resolves toxins, and drains Damp-Heat through the urine; works with Yin Chen Hao and Huang Qin as the primary Damp-Heat-clearing and Heat-toxin-resolving trio of the formula
  • Da Huang (Rheum palmatum) - Chinese rhubarb root: Clears Heat, drains Fire, resolves toxins, invigorates Blood, and purges accumulation; the dual-action deputy addressing both the Heat-toxin and Blood stagnation components of the pattern while draining Heat downward through the bowels; its purging action is why diarrhea warrants immediate discontinuation
  • Hong Hua (Carthamus tinctorius) - Safflower flower: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and unblocks the channels; the primary Blood-invigorating herb directly addressing Blood stagnation in the hoof and lower limb channels alongside the Damp-Heat pattern
  • Chi Shao (Paeonia lactiflora rubra) - Red peony root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, invigorates Blood, and disperses Blood stasis; the dual-action assistant addressing both the Heat component and the Blood stagnation component of the pattern, working with Hong Hua as the formula's primary Blood-cooling and stasis-dispersing pair
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) - Sichuan lovage rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and unblocks the channels; supports the Blood-invigorating herbs and addresses the Qi stagnation accompanying Blood stagnation in the lower limb channels, reinforcing the formula's combined Blood-activating and Qi-moving action
  • Mo Yao (Commiphora myrrha) - Myrrh resin: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, reduces swelling, and supports tissue healing; works with Hong Hua and Chi Shao as the formula's primary stasis-dispersing and swelling-reducing triad in the hoof and lower limb tissues
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, moistens the sinews, and supports smooth Blood flow through the channels; the Blood-nourishing assistant preventing the potent Blood-invigorating herbs from depleting Blood while contributing its own mild Blood-invigorating action
  • Zhi Ke (Citrus aurantium) - Bitter orange fruit: Moves Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and supports the downward movement of Qi through the channels; the primary Qi-moving assistant addressing the Qi stagnation component of the pattern alongside the Blood-invigorating herbs
  • Qing Pi (Citrus reticulata viride) - Green tangerine peel: Strongly moves Liver Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and disperses accumulation; works with Zhi Ke as the formula's primary Qi-moving pair, with stronger action on Liver Qi stagnation accompanying the Damp-Heat pattern in the Liver and Gallbladder channels
  • Jie Geng (Platycodon grandiflorum) - Platycodon root: Opens the Lung, directs the formula's actions upward and outward, and acts as a messenger herb to guide the other herbs through the channels; supports the formula's channel-unblocking action and helps distribute the Blood-invigorating and Heat-clearing herbs to the affected hoof and lower limb tissues
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Licorice root: Tonifies Qi, resolves toxins, moderates and harmonizes the actions of all other herbs, and protects the Spleen from the strong purging, clearing, and Blood-invigorating agents; the formula's essential harmonizing envoy enabling the sustained use of potent Heat-clearing and Blood-moving herbs

Potential Drug Interactions

Hot Hoof II contains potent Heat-clearing and purging herbs including Yin Chen Hao (capillaris herb), Huang Qin (scutellaria root), Zhi Zi (gardenia fruit), and Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb root), alongside Blood-invigorating herbs including Hong Hua (safflower flower), Chi Shao (red peony root), Chuan Xiong (sichuan lovage rhizome), Mo Yao (myrrh resin), and Dang Gui (dong quai root), which may affect platelet activity, coagulation, anti-inflammatory pathways, and bowel function. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in horses remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, anti-inflammatory medications, laxative or purgative medications, and horses managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 2 months during the acute inflammatory phase, followed by transition to Hot Hoof I for 1 to 3 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Hot Hoof II used for in TCVM?

Hot Hoof II is indicated in TCVM for acute Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin patterns with Blood stagnation affecting the hooves and lower limbs in horses, where Damp-Heat accumulation has led to acute inflammation, heat, and obstruction in the hoof and lower limb channels. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for horses with acute hoof inflammatory patterns rooted in Damp-Heat and Heat-toxin, particularly when accompanied by heat and swelling in the lower limbs, a red or purple tongue, and a rapid, slippery pulse. Do not use during pregnancy. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hot Hoof II.

How is Hot Hoof II administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Dosing varies by condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the standard equine dose is 3g (about 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds about 1.2g, and the small scoop holds about 0.25g. One 90g concentrated supply lasts approximately 2 weeks at standard equine dosing. For dogs and cats, the guideline is 0.5 to 1 small scoop per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix the powder directly into wet or dry food or feed at each meal. Do not use during pregnancy. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. Use as needed for up to 2 months during the acute inflammatory phase, or as directed by your veterinarian.

What is the recommended treatment sequence for Hot Hoof II and Hot Hoof I?

The manufacturer recommends a specific two-phase treatment sequence. Use Hot Hoof II first during the acute inflammatory phase for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian; its strong Damp-Heat-clearing, Heat-toxin-resolving, and Blood-invigorating actions directly address acute inflammation in the hooves and lower limbs. Once local inflammation is under control, discontinue Hot Hoof II and begin Hot Hoof I as needed for 1 to 3 months for ongoing support, or as directed by your veterinarian. This sequencing reflects the classical TCVM approach of using stronger clearing and purging formulas acutely, then transitioning to gentler supporting formulas for recovery and maintenance. Your holistic veterinarian will guide the transition timing based on your horse's clinical response.

Why is Hot Hoof II contraindicated during pregnancy?

Hot Hoof II contains several herbs that are contraindicated during pregnancy in classical Chinese medicine. Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb) is a strong purgative and Blood-invigorating herb that can stimulate uterine contractions. Hong Hua (safflower), Chi Shao (red peony root), Chuan Xiong (Sichuan lovage rhizome), and Mo Yao (myrrh resin) are all Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing herbs that are contraindicated during pregnancy due to their strong Blood-moving actions. The combination of potent purging, Heat-clearing, and Blood-invigorating herbs makes this formula inappropriate for use during pregnancy in any species.

I can ride my horse again!

DISCLAIMER: I work for TCVM Pet Supply, but was NOT provided this product for free. My horse, Sugar, suffered from chronic laminitis and was constantly laying down. I could tell she was in major pain, especially when she tried to walk over to me and kept lifting her front feet up because it hurt so much for them to touch the rocky Tennessee soil. I knew I had to do something to heal the root cause of her pain, rather than just giving her bute to cover up the pain. The first year Sugar foundered in late July, and I gave her a combination of Sang Zhi San and Body sore, which worked wonderfully. The second year, I tried Hot Hoof I, which also worked really well. This year, my veterinarian, Dr. Smith, suggested I start giving Hot Hoof I on March 1st, which I did. I administered it every day until July 1st, and it successfully prevented Sugar from foundering! We are so happy she didn't need to deal with pain and pasture rest this year, and love running around the trails. Thank you Jing Tang!
