Jing Tang Jin Gui Shen Qi Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Jin Gui Shen Qi is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that tonifies the Kidney and warms Yang to address Kidney Yang deficiency patterns in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan from Jin Gui Yao Lue Fang Lun (Synopsis of Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet, written by Zhang Zhong-Jing in 220 AD), this eight-herb formula combines the Liu Wei Di Huang Wan Yin-nourishing base (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao, Ze Xie, Fu Ling, Mu Dan Pi) with small amounts of Yang-warming herbs (Fu Zi, Rou Gui) to gently warm and tonify Kidney Yang without damaging Yin. Available in concentrated powder (90g), concentrated capsules (0.5g or 0.2g), or teapills (200 count). Use for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency. This formula may cause positive drug test results. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Kidney tonification: Shu Di Huang is the chief herb and powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood as the primary Yin-nourishing foundation; Shan Zhu Yu nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin, astringes Essence, and supports the Kidney's storing function; Shan Yao tonifies Spleen, Lung, and Kidney Qi and Yin; together these three herbs form the formula's principal Yin-nourishing and Kidney-tonifying core
  • Yang warming: Fu Zi strongly warms Kidney Yang and dispels Cold as the primary Yang-warming herb; Rou Gui warms Kidney Yang, warms the channels, and supports Fu Zi's Yang-warming action; both are used in small amounts within the Yin-nourishing base to gently warm Yang without damaging Yin, following the classical principle that Yang must be rooted in Yin
  • Dampness drainage: Ze Xie drains Dampness and clears Damp-Heat from the lower Jiao to prevent the Yin-nourishing herbs from generating Dampness and stagnation; Fu Ling strengthens the Spleen, leaches out Dampness, and supports the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood; together they counterbalance the enriching action of the Yin-nourishing herbs
  • Heat clearing and Blood invigoration: Mu Dan Pi clears Heat, cools Blood, and invigorates Blood; addresses the deficiency Heat that may arise from Yin deficiency and prevents Blood stasis that may develop from the warming herbs, completing the formula's balanced tonifying and regulating action

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan is an eight-herb formula built on the Liu Wei Di Huang Wan Yin-nourishing base with the addition of Fu Zi and Rou Gui to gently warm Kidney Yang. The formula is organized in two functional layers: a principal Yin-nourishing and Kidney-tonifying group (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao) and a Dampness-draining, Heat-clearing, and Blood-invigorating group (Ze Xie, Fu Ling, Mu Dan Pi), with Fu Zi and Rou Gui added to warm Yang within this balanced Yin-nourishing foundation:

  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared rehmannia root: The chief herb; powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood; provides the primary Yin-nourishing foundation on which the formula's Yang-warming action is built, reflecting the classical principle that Yang must be rooted in Yin
  • Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus officinalis) - Cornelian cherry fruit: Nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin, astringes Essence, and supports the Kidney's storing function; works with Shu Di Huang as a primary Yin-nourishing and Essence-securing deputy, preventing leakage of Kidney Qi and Essence
  • Shan Yao (Dioscorea opposita) - Chinese yam rhizome: Tonifies Spleen, Lung, and Kidney Qi and Yin; supports the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood to sustain the Yin-nourishing herbs and maintains the middle Jiao foundation of the formula
  • Fu Zi (Aconitum carmichaelii preparata) - Prepared aconite root: The primary Yang-warming herb; strongly warms Kidney Yang and dispels Cold and Dampness; used in small amounts within the Yin-nourishing base to gently warm Yang without damaging Yin, the key differentiating action that defines Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan as a Yang-tonifying formula
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon bark: Warms Kidney Yang, warms the channels, and invigorates Yang Qi; supports Fu Zi's Yang-warming action and also warms the middle Jiao to support the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions alongside the Yin-nourishing herbs
  • Ze Xie (Alisma orientalis) - Alisma rhizome: Drains Dampness and clears Damp-Heat from the lower Jiao; prevents the Yin-nourishing herbs from generating Dampness and stagnation, counterbalancing the enriching action of Shu Di Huang in particular
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos) - Poria mushroom: Strengthens the Spleen, leaches out Dampness, and supports the middle Jiao; works with Ze Xie to drain Dampness and prevent stagnation while also supporting the Spleen's Qi-generating function alongside Shan Yao
  • Mu Dan Pi (Paeonia suffruticosa) - Moutan bark: Clears Heat, cools Blood, and invigorates Blood; addresses the deficiency Heat that may arise from Yin deficiency and prevents Blood stasis that may develop from the warming herbs, completing the formula's balanced tonifying and regulating action

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Jin Gui Shen Qi used for in TCVM?

Jin Gui Shen Qi is indicated in TCVM for Kidney Yang deficiency patterns, where insufficient Kidney Yang leads to Cold signs, weakness in the lower body, and impaired Kidney governing functions. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of Kidney Yang deficiency, including low back and hind limb weakness, cold extremities, urinary patterns associated with Kidney deficiency, or systemic Yang deficiency signs, particularly when accompanied by a pale, wet tongue with a white coat and a deep, weak pulse in the rear position. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Jin Gui Shen Qi.

How is Jin Gui Shen Qi 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 and teapills can be given directly or hidden in food or a soft treat. Use for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Why might Jin Gui Shen Qi cause a positive drug test, and what should competition animal owners know?

The manufacturer notes that this formula may cause a positive drug test result, likely because it contains Fu Zi (prepared aconite root) and Rou Gui (cinnamon bark), which contain alkaloids and other compounds that may be detected by equine or canine competition drug-screening panels. If your horse or dog competes in regulated events, consult your veterinarian and the relevant governing body before administering this formula. Withdrawal times and testing thresholds vary by sport and governing organization.

Can Jin Gui Shen Qi be combined with other TCVM formulas or conventional medications?

Jin Gui Shen Qi is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney Yang support protocol, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly hormone-modulating, cardiac, or diuretic medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Jin Gui Shen Qi is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Do not use during pregnancy, and use with caution in patients with Blood Deficiency or Yin Deficiency.
