Jin Gui Shen Qi is an eight-herb formula built on the classical Liu Wei Di Huang Wan framework (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao, Fu Ling, Ze Xie, Mu Dan Pi) with the addition of Fu Zi and Rou Gui to warm and tonify Kidney Yang, organized around a Kidney Yang-warming pair (Fu Zi, Rou Gui), a Yin-nourishing and Essence-replenishing triad (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao), and a Dampness-draining and deficiency Heat-clearing triad (Fu Ling, Ze Xie, Mu Dan Pi):
Jin Gui Shen Qi contains Kidney Yang-warming herbs including Fu Zi (prepared aconite root) and Rou Gui (cinnamon bark), Yin-nourishing and Essence-replenishing herbs including Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root), Shan Zhu Yu (cornus fruit), and Shan Yao (Chinese yam rhizome), and Dampness-draining and deficiency Heat-clearing herbs including Fu Ling (poria sclerotium), Ze Xie (alisma rhizome), and Mu Dan Pi (moutan root bark). Fu Zi contains aconitine alkaloids and may interact with cardiac medications, antiarrhythmic medications, and medications affecting cardiac conduction; Rou Gui and Mu Dan Pi may affect platelet function and interact with anticoagulant medications. This formula may cause drug testing to be positive. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood deficiency or Yin deficiency. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include cardiac medications, antiarrhythmic medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, medications metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Jin Gui Shen Qi is indicated for dogs and cats with TCVM patterns of Kidney Yang deficiency, where the Kidney Yang is insufficient to warm the body, support metabolic function, and anchor the Yin, presenting with cold signs, fatigue, and functional deficiency associated with Kidney Yang insufficiency. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it as a foundational Kidney Yang-tonifying formula for Kidney Yang deficiency patterns across a range of clinical presentations. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood deficiency or Yin deficiency, as the formula's warming herbs may aggravate deficiency Heat signs in patients with insufficient Yin. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Jin Gui Shen Qi.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For dogs and cats using the 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. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood deficiency or Yin deficiency. This formula may cause drug testing to be positive. May be used for up to 2 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill from the Golden Cabinet) is one of the most foundational Kidney Yang-tonifying formulas in Chinese medicine, first recorded by Zhang Zhong-Jing in Jin Gui Yao Lue Fang Lun (220 AD). It is built on the six-herb Liu Wei Di Huang Wan framework, which uses three tonifying herbs (Shu Di Huang, Shan Zhu Yu, Shan Yao) and three draining herbs (Fu Ling, Ze Xie, Mu Dan Pi) to nourish Kidney and Liver Yin with balanced supplementation and drainage. Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan adds Fu Zi and Rou Gui to this Yin-nourishing base to warm and tonify Kidney Yang, embodying the classical principle that "Yang is born from Yin" and that Kidney Yang tonification is most effective when built on an adequate Yin and Essence foundation. This structural approach, tonifying Yang within a Yin-nourishing formula with appropriate drainage, makes Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan the archetypal Kidney Yang-tonifying formula that serves as the basis for numerous classical and modern Yang-tonifying variations.
Jin Gui Shen Qi contains Fu Zi (prepared aconite root, Aconitum carmichaelii), which contains aconitine and related alkaloids that may be detected by standard drug screening tests in competitive or regulated animals. Aconitine alkaloids are subject to testing regulations in many equine and canine competitive sports, and their presence in urine or blood samples may result in a positive drug test regardless of the therapeutic intent. If your animal participates in any regulated competition or sport, inform your veterinarian and relevant governing body before administering this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian can advise on appropriate withdrawal times and alternative management strategies for competitive animals. Do not use during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood deficiency or Yin deficiency.
