Jing Tang Jie Gu San Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Jie Gu San is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that tonifies Kidney Yang, Qi, and Blood and supports bone health to address Kidney deficiency patterns affecting the musculoskeletal system and bones in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Jie Gu San from Zhong Shou Yi Xue (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, written by Yu Chuan in 1979), this thirteen-herb formula combines Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs (Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu, Xu Duan, Shu Di Huang) with Qi-tonifying herbs (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating herbs (Dang Gui, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi), and channel-unblocking agents (Sang Zhi, Mu Li) to address both the root Kidney deficiency and the structural support needs of the bones and joints. Available in concentrated powder (90g) or concentrated capsules (0.5g or 0.2g). 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. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Jie Gu San is a thirteen-herb formula from the TCVM veterinary tradition, organized around three functional layers: a Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening core (Bu Gu Zhi, Gu Sui Bu, Xu Duan, Shu Di Huang), a Qi-tonifying middle Jiao support layer (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), and a Blood-nourishing and channel-unblocking layer (Dang Gui, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi, Sang Zhi, Mu Li):

  • Gu Sui Bu (Drynaria roosii) - Drynaria rhizome: The principal bone-strengthening herb and a primary chief herb; tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens bones and tendons, and promotes the healing of bone and connective tissue; the formula's defining bone-knitting herb and the primary agent addressing the structural bone health component of the pattern
  • Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea corylifolia) - Psoralea fruit: Tonifies Kidney Yang, warms the Spleen, and strengthens the bones; the second principal Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herb, reinforcing Gu Sui Bu's bone-strengthening action and warming the Kidney Yang foundation of the formula
  • Xu Duan (Dipsacus asper) - Teasel root: Tonifies Kidney and Liver, strengthens tendons and bones, and invigorates Blood; bridges the formula's Kidney-tonifying and Blood-invigorating layers, supporting bone and connective tissue health alongside Gu Sui Bu and Bu Gu Zhi
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared rehmannia root: Powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood; provides the primary Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation for the formula and ensures the Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs have a substantial Yin and Blood base from which to act
  • Dang Shen (Codonopsis pilosula) - Codonopsis root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi and nourishes Blood; the principal Qi-tonifying herb of the middle Jiao support layer, supporting the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood to sustain the formula's tonifying action
  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, strengthens Wei Qi, and supports the generation of Qi and Blood alongside Dang Shen; reinforces the middle Jiao Qi-generating foundation of the formula
  • Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) - White atractylodes rhizome: Strengthens the Spleen, dries Dampness, and supports the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions; prevents the enriching herbs from generating Dampness and stagnation in the middle Jiao
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Chinese angelica root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood; addresses the Blood deficiency component of the pattern and supports smooth Blood flow through the channels, bones, and connective tissue
  • Ru Xiang (Boswellia carterii) - Frankincense oleo-gum-resin: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, reduces swelling, and unblocks the channels; the first herb of the classical Ru Xiang-Mo Yao Blood-invigorating and channel-unblocking pair
  • Mo Yao (Commiphora myrrha) - Myrrh resin: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, reduces swelling, and supports tissue healing; works with Ru Xiang as the formula's primary Blood-invigorating and channel-unblocking pair, addressing Qi and Blood stagnation in the musculoskeletal system
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis) - Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, joints, and musculoskeletal system; ensures the formula's tonifying and invigorating actions reach the Kidney's governed tissues in the lower body
  • Sang Zhi (Morus alba) - Mulberry twig: Dispels Wind-Damp, unblocks the channels, and supports the formula's channel-unblocking action in the limbs and joints; addresses any Wind-Damp component contributing to channel obstruction in the musculoskeletal pattern
  • Mu Li (Ostrea gigas) - Oyster shell: Astringes, anchors, and consolidates Kidney Qi and Essence at the constitutional level; prevents leakage of Kidney Qi and Essence and supports the formula's consolidating action alongside the Kidney Yang-tonifying herbs

Potential Drug Interactions

Jie Gu San contains Kidney Yang-tonifying and bone-strengthening herbs including Bu Gu Zhi (psoralea fruit), Gu Sui Bu (drynaria rhizome), and Xu Duan (teasel root), alongside Qi-tonifying herbs including Dang Shen (codonopsis root), Huang Qi (astragalus root), and Bai Zhu (white atractylodes rhizome), and Blood-invigorating herbs including Ru Xiang (frankincense), Mo Yao (myrrh), Dang Gui (Chinese angelica root), and Chuan Niu Xi (cyathula root), which may affect platelet activity, immune modulation, and hormone balance. 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 anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting with a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Jie Gu San used for in TCVM?

Jie Gu San is indicated in TCVM for Kidney Yang and Qi deficiency with Blood deficiency affecting the musculoskeletal system and bones, where insufficient Kidney Yang and Essence leads to weakness of the bones, tendons, and connective tissue. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses with bone and joint patterns rooted in Kidney deficiency, including those recovering from musculoskeletal injury or managing chronic bone and joint conditions, particularly when accompanied by a pale, weak tongue and a deep, weak pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Jie Gu San.

How is Jie Gu San 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. For 0.2g concentrated capsules, cats and small dogs under 10 lbs receive one capsule once 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. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting with a veterinarian.

How long can Jie Gu San be used?

This formula may be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. As a Kidney-tonifying and bone-supporting formula addressing a deficiency pattern, Jie Gu San is suited for longer-term use, particularly for pets with chronic musculoskeletal or bone health patterns. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as the pattern evolves.

What makes Jie Gu San different from other Kidney Yang-tonifying TCVM formulas?

Jie Gu San is specifically formulated for musculoskeletal and bone health applications, combining Kidney Yang-tonifying herbs with a strong emphasis on bone-specific herbs (Gu Sui Bu, Bu Gu Zhi, Xu Duan), Qi-tonifying middle Jiao support (Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu), and Blood-invigorating and channel-unblocking agents (Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Chuan Niu Xi, Sang Zhi). This makes it distinct from formulas like Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, which focuses on warming Kidney Yang within a Yin-nourishing base without the bone-specific and channel-unblocking emphasis. Your holistic veterinarian will determine the most appropriate formula based on your pet's specific TCVM pattern, pulse, and tongue findings.
