Ku Shen Si Wu Tang is a six-herb formula combining the classical Si Wu Tang Blood-nourishing base (Dang Gui, Sheng Di Huang, Bai Shao Yao, Chuan Xiong) with two potent Heat-clearing and Damp-drying herbs (Ku Shen, Bai Xian Pi) to address both the root Blood deficiency and the Heat and Damp-Heat accumulation in the skin and channels:
Ku Shen Si Wu contains potent Heat-clearing and Damp-drying herbs, including Ku Shen (sophora root) and Bai Xian Pi (dictamnus root bark), alongside Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating herbs including Dang Gui (Chinese angelica root), Sheng Di Huang (raw rehmannia root), Bai Shao Yao (white peony root), and Chuan Xiong (Sichuan lovage rhizome), which may affect platelet activity, hepatic drug metabolism, and interactions with antifungal or immunomodulating drugs. 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, antifungal medications, dermatological medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. When used alongside conventional medication, the manufacturer recommends limiting use to 1 to 3 months. 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.

Ku Shen Si Wu is indicated in TCVM for Blood deficiency combined with Heat and Damp-Heat accumulation in the skin and channels, presenting as hypersensitive skin, chronic skin irritation, or skin conditions associated with Blood deficiency and Damp-Heat. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of Blood deficiency with Heat affecting the skin, including environmental sensitivities, reactive or inflamed skin, or fungal-related skin concerns, particularly when accompanied by a pale or red tongue with a greasy coat and a thin or rapid pulse. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Ku Shen Si Wu.
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 0.4g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. 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.
This formula may be used for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. When used in combination with conventional medication, the manufacturer recommends limiting use to 1 to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. The appropriate duration depends on the severity of the pattern and your pet's response, as assessed by your holistic veterinarian through regular follow-up. Regular monitoring is recommended to track progress and adjust dosing as the skin pattern resolves.
Ku Shen Si Wu can be used alongside conventional medications under veterinary supervision, with the manufacturer recommending a shorter course of 1 to 3 months in that context. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly antifungal drugs, anticoagulants, or dermatological medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Ku Shen Si Wu is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting with a veterinarian.
