What It Supports

  • Kidney Yang warming and tonification: Fu Zi warms Kidney Yang, disperses Cold, and rescues devastated Yang as the formula's primary Yang-warming herb; Rou Gui warms and tonifies Kidney Yang, warms the Spleen, disperses Cold, and leads Fire back to its source; together they provide the essential Kidney Yang-warming action that the six-herb Liu Wei Di Huang base cannot provide alone, directly addressing the Kidney Yang deficiency root of the pattern
  • Kidney and Liver Yin nourishment: Shu Di Huang nourishes Blood, tonifies Kidney and Liver Yin, and replenishes Essence as the formula's primary Yin-nourishing and Essence-replenishing chief herb; Shan Zhu Yu tonifies Kidney and Liver Yin, astringes Essence, and consolidates Kidney Qi; Shan Yao tonifies the Spleen Qi, nourishes Kidney Yin, and supports the Lung; together they form the Yin-nourishing foundation that ensures the Yang-warming herbs have adequate Yin to anchor and the Kidney Yang being tonified has an Essence foundation to support it
  • Dampness draining and formula balancing: Fu Ling drains Dampness, supports the Spleen, and prevents the Yin-nourishing herbs from generating Dampness; Ze Xie drains Dampness, clears Kidney deficiency Fire, and prevents the Yin-nourishing herbs from causing Yin stagnation and Damp accumulation; Mu Dan Pi clears deficiency Heat, cools Blood, and prevents the Yang-warming herbs from generating excess Heat; together they ensure the formula's Yin-nourishing and Yang-warming strategy is balanced by appropriate draining and clearing herbs to prevent over-supplementation

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

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):

  • Fu Zi (Aconitum carmichaelii) - Prepared aconite root: Warms Kidney Yang, disperses Cold, and rescues devastated Yang; the formula's primary Yang-warming herb and one of the most potent Yang-rescuing and Cold-dispersing herbs in the Chinese materia medica; Fu Zi's strong pungent, hot nature makes it essential for formulas addressing significant Kidney Yang deficiency and interior Cold patterns; note that Fu Zi's presence in this formula may cause drug testing to be positive and that the formula should not be used during pregnancy. Use with caution in patients with Blood deficiency or Yin deficiency
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon bark: Warms and tonifies Kidney Yang, warms the Spleen, disperses Cold, and leads Fire back to its source; works with Fu Zi as the primary Kidney Yang-warming pair, providing complementary Yang-warming and Cold-dispersing action with a specific ability to lead floating Yang back to the Lower Jiao and tonify the Kidney's Yang Qi foundation; Rou Gui's ability to lead Fire back to its source is particularly important in Kidney Yang deficiency patterns where deficient Yang floats upward
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared rehmannia root: Nourishes Blood, tonifies Kidney and Liver Yin, and replenishes Essence; the formula's primary Yin-nourishing and Essence-replenishing chief herb, providing the deep Yin and Essence nourishment that serves as the foundation for the Yang-warming action of Fu Zi and Rou Gui; Shu Di Huang's heavy, sweet, and warm nature makes it the most important single herb for nourishing Kidney Yin and Blood and replenishing Essence in deficiency patterns
  • Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus officinalis) - Cornus fruit: Tonifies Kidney and Liver Yin, astringes Essence, and consolidates Kidney Qi; the formula's Essence-astringing and Kidney-consolidating herb, preventing the leakage of Essence and Kidney Qi that accompanies Kidney deficiency patterns while simultaneously tonifying the Liver and Kidney Yin foundation; Shan Zhu Yu's sour, astringent nature makes it essential for consolidating the Essence and Kidney Qi being tonified by the formula
  • Shan Yao (Dioscorea opposita) - Chinese yam rhizome: Tonifies the Spleen Qi, nourishes Kidney Yin, and supports the Lung; the formula's Spleen Qi-tonifying and Kidney Yin-nourishing herb, addressing the Spleen Qi component of the Kidney Yang deficiency pattern and supporting the post-Heaven Qi foundation that underpins the Kidney's pre-Heaven Essence; Shan Yao's gentle tonifying and moistening nature balances the formula's warming and drying strategy
  • Fu Ling (Poria cocos) - Poria sclerotium: Drains Dampness, supports the Spleen, and calms the Heart; the formula's Dampness-draining and Spleen-supporting herb, preventing the heavy, Yin-nourishing herbs from generating Dampness accumulation in the Middle Jiao while supporting the Spleen's transforming and transporting functions; Fu Ling's gentle Dampness-draining action ensures the formula's Yin-nourishing strategy does not create secondary Damp stagnation
  • Ze Xie (Alisma orientale) - Alisma rhizome: Drains Dampness, clears Kidney deficiency Fire, and prevents stagnation from Yin-nourishing herbs; the formula's Kidney deficiency Fire-clearing and Damp-draining herb, working alongside Fu Ling to drain accumulated Dampness and clear any deficiency Fire generated by the Kidney Yin deficiency component of the pattern; Ze Xie's draining action also prevents over-supplementation from the formula's heavy Yin-nourishing herbs
  • Mu Dan Pi (Paeonia suffruticosa) - Moutan root bark: Clears deficiency Heat, cools Blood, invigorates Blood, and disperses Blood stasis; the formula's deficiency Heat-clearing and Blood-cooling herb, preventing the Yang-warming herbs from generating excess Heat while clearing the deficiency Heat that arises from the Kidney Yin deficiency component of the pattern; Mu Dan Pi's Blood-invigorating action also addresses any Blood stasis that accompanies the Kidney deficiency pattern

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

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 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.

What is Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, and how does it relate to Liu Wei Di Huang Wan?

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.

Why may Jin Gui Shen Qi cause a positive drug test result?

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.
