Jing Tang Hot Hoof II Concentrated 90g Powder  - TCVM Pet Supply

Jing Tang Hu Qian Wan Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Hu Qian Wan is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that nourishes Yin, purges Fire, and strengthens tendons and bones to address Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire and sinew and bone weakness patterns in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Hu Qian Wan (Hidden Tiger Pill) from Dan Xi Xin Fa (Teachings of Zhu Dan-xi), written by Zhu Zheng-Heng in 1481, this eight-herb formula pairs a powerful Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) with a principal Yin-nourishing deputy (Shu Di Huang), a dual-action Fire-purging and Yin-nourishing assistant (Zhi Mu), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a Blood-nourishing and sinew-softening herb (Bai Shao Yao), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening herb (Chuan Niu Xi), and two Spleen-protecting herbs (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi) to address both the root Yin deficiency and the deficiency Fire, sinew and bone weakness, and Spleen vulnerability that arise from long-term Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g). Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Yin nourishment and Fire purging: Huang Bai powerfully clears Heat and purges Fire from the Kidney and Liver channels as the chief herb, directly addressing the deficiency Fire arising from Yin deficiency; Shu Di Huang powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood as the primary Yin-nourishing deputy providing the formula's Yin foundation; Zhi Mu clears Heat, drains Fire, and nourishes Yin as the dual-action assistant supporting both Huang Bai's Fire purging and Shu Di Huang's Yin nourishment; Bai Shao Yao nourishes Blood and Yin, softens the Liver, and relaxes the sinews as the Blood-nourishing assistant addressing Liver Yin and Blood deficiency; together they form the formula's integrated Yin-nourishing and Fire-purging core addressing the root Yin deficiency and the deficiency Fire simultaneously
  • Tendon, bone, and sinew strengthening: Suo Yang tonifies Kidney Yang, nourishes Jing and Blood, and strengthens the sinews and bones as the primary Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb, providing Yang support within the Yin-nourishing base and directly addressing the sinew and bone weakness of the pattern; Chuan Niu Xi invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, hind limbs, and Kidney channel as the formula's primary guiding herb; Bai Shao Yao supports the sinew-nourishing layer through Blood nourishment and sinew softening; together they address the structural sinew and bone weakness arising from Kidney and Liver Yin and Jing deficiency
  • Spleen protection: Gan Jiang warms the Spleen and Stomach, disperses Cold, and protects the Spleen from the cold, bitter actions of Huang Bai and Zhi Mu, preventing the Fire-purging herbs from damaging Spleen Yang and causing digestive upset during long-term use; Chen Pi moves Qi, dries Dampness, and supports the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions, working with Gan Jiang to protect the Spleen and prevent the Yin-nourishing herbs from generating Dampness and stagnation; together they form the formula's essential Spleen-protecting layer enabling sustained use over the longer treatment course appropriate for Yin deficiency patterns

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Hu Qian Wan is an eight-herb formula organized around four functional layers: a Fire-purging chief (Huang Bai) paired with a Yin-nourishing and Fire-draining triad (Shu Di Huang, Zhi Mu, Bai Shao Yao), a Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb (Suo Yang), a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening envoy (Chuan Niu Xi), and a Spleen-protecting pair (Gan Jiang, Chen Pi):

  • Huang Bai (Phellodendron amurense) - Phellodendron bark: The chief herb; powerfully clears Heat and purges Fire from the Kidney and Liver channels, drains Damp-Heat from the lower Jiao, and is the principal agent addressing the deficiency Fire arising from Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency; its cold, bitter nature requires Spleen protection from Gan Jiang and Chen Pi during sustained use
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared rehmannia root: The principal deputy; powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood; the primary Yin-nourishing herb providing the Yin foundation on which the formula's Fire-purging, Yang-tonifying, and sinew-strengthening actions are built
  • Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena asphodeloides) - Anemarrhena rhizome: The dual-action assistant; clears Heat, drains Fire, and nourishes Yin; supports Huang Bai in purging deficiency Fire while simultaneously nourishing Yin alongside Shu Di Huang, and prevents the potent Fire-purging chief from further damaging the already-deficient Yin
  • Suo Yang (Cynomorium songaricum) - Cynomorium stem: Tonifies Kidney Yang, nourishes Jing and Blood, and strengthens the sinews and bones; the primary Yang-tonifying and sinew-strengthening herb providing Yang support within the Yin-nourishing base, directly addressing the sinew and bone weakness of the pattern and preventing excessive cooling from the Fire-purging herbs
  • Bai Shao Yao (Paeonia lactiflora) - White peony root: Nourishes Blood and Yin, softens the Liver, and relaxes the sinews; supports the Yin-nourishing deputies and addresses the sinew tension and weakness associated with Liver Yin and Blood deficiency alongside Shu Di Huang
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis) - Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, hind limbs, and Kidney channel; the formula's primary guiding envoy directing the Yin-nourishing, Fire-purging, and sinew-strengthening actions specifically to the lower body and limbs where Kidney Yin deficiency patterns most commonly manifest
  • Gan Jiang (Zingiber officinale preparata) - Dried ginger rhizome: Warms the Spleen and Stomach, disperses Cold, and protects the Spleen from the cold, bitter actions of Huang Bai and Zhi Mu; the primary Spleen-protecting herb preventing the Fire-purging agents from damaging Spleen Yang and causing digestive upset during the longer treatment course appropriate for Yin deficiency patterns
  • Chen Pi (Citrus reticulata) - Tangerine peel: Moves Qi, dries Dampness, and supports the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions; works with Gan Jiang as the formula's Spleen-protecting pair, preventing the Yin-nourishing herbs from generating secondary Dampness and stagnation and maintaining digestive function throughout the treatment course

Potential Drug Interactions

Hu Qian Wan contains potent Fire-purging herbs including Huang Bai (phellodendron bark) and Zhi Mu (anemarrhena rhizome), alongside Yin-nourishing herbs including Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root) and Bai Shao Yao (white peony root), a Yang-tonifying and Jing-nourishing herb Suo Yang (cynomorium stem), and a Blood-invigorating herb Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root), which may affect hormone modulation, platelet activity, and drug metabolism. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include hormone-modulating drugs, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. When used as needed, the manufacturer recommends limiting use to up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Hu Qian Wan used for in TCVM?

Hu Qian Wan is indicated in TCVM for Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire and sinew and bone weakness, where Yin deficiency has allowed Fire to accumulate and the sinews and bones to lose their nourishment. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses with hind limb weakness, musculoskeletal patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, or systemic signs of Yin deficiency with deficiency Fire affecting the lower body, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue and a thin, rapid pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hu Qian Wan.

How is Hu Qian Wan administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Dosing 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 0.3g, 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. Mix concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.

Why does Hu Qian Wan contain warming herbs like Gan Jiang alongside Fire-purging herbs?

Gan Jiang (dried ginger) and Chen Pi (tangerine peel) are included specifically to protect the Spleen from the cold, bitter actions of Huang Bai and Zhi Mu. In classical Chinese medicine, strong Fire-purging herbs like Huang Bai and Zhi Mu are cold and bitter in nature, and prolonged use without Spleen protection can damage Spleen Yang and cause digestive upset - which is why the stop-immediately warning for diarrhea and vomiting is included for this formula. By including Gan Jiang and Chen Pi, the formula supports digestion and allows the Fire-purging herbs to be used safely over the longer treatment course recommended for Yin deficiency patterns. This Spleen-protecting strategy is a classical formulation principle seen throughout the Chinese herbal tradition.

Can Hu Qian Wan be combined with other TCVM formulas or conventional medications?

Hu Qian Wan is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Yin tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating or immunosuppressive medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hu Qian Wan is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. No contraindications are listed for this formula, but stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.
