In TCVM, urinary crystals and stones arise when Damp-Heat accumulates in the Bladder channel, disrupting the Bladder's Qi transformation function and allowing minerals to precipitate and form crystals or stones. Signs of this pattern include difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, straining, and lower abdominal discomfort associated with urinary crystal and stone accumulation. The formula addresses the Damp-Heat root while simultaneously dissolving crystals and expelling stones through its classical stone-dissolving herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Crystal Stone Formula administered and dosed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Jin Qian Cao clears Heat, promotes urination, and is specifically indicated for dissolving and expelling urinary stones and gravel; Hai Jin Sha clears Heat, promotes urination, and is one of the classical chief herbs for urinary stones, particularly for helping expel gravel and stones from the urinary tract.

Refrigeration slows oxidation and microbial growth in the liquid base, maintaining the formula's efficacy over its shelf life. The tincture format is particularly well-suited for cats and small dogs who are difficult to pill or who refuse to eat powdered herbs mixed into food; the whitefish flavoring is designed to make administration more palatable for cats and small dogs. Liquid tinctures are also absorbed quickly and can be given directly by dropper or mixed into a small amount of food or water. Your veterinarian can help determine which format is most appropriate for your pet's preferences and health situation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-23T16:26:28-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-23T16:26:27-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Urinary","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Jing Tang Crystal Stone","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":8758,"price_min":8758,"price_max":13730,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45926052757574,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E2100C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5939649970225,"product_id":8486351405126,"position":3,"created_at":"2019-05-07T18:08:07-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:07:48-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Concentrated Qi Performance 90g Powder -

In TCVM, urinary crystals and stones arise when Damp-Heat accumulates in the Bladder channel, disrupting the Bladder's Qi transformation function and allowing minerals to precipitate and form crystals or stones. Signs of this pattern include difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in the urine, straining, and lower abdominal discomfort associated with urinary crystal and stone accumulation. The formula addresses the Damp-Heat root while simultaneously dissolving crystals and expelling stones through its classical stone-dissolving herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Crystal Stone Formula administered and dosed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

For the 0.5g Concentrated Capsule format, give one capsule per 20 to 40 lb body weight twice daily; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, give one 0.2g concentrated capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For the whitefish-flavored tincture, give 10 drops per 5 to 10 lb body weight twice daily - each full dropper contains approximately 20 drops; store the tincture refrigerated for best results.

Jin Qian Cao clears Heat, promotes urination, and is specifically indicated for dissolving and expelling urinary stones and gravel; Hai Jin Sha clears Heat, promotes urination, and is one of the classical chief herbs for urinary stones, particularly for helping expel gravel and stones from the urinary tract.

Refrigeration slows oxidation and microbial growth in the liquid base, maintaining the formula's efficacy over its shelf life. The tincture format is particularly well-suited for cats and small dogs who are difficult to pill or who refuse to eat powdered herbs mixed into food; the whitefish flavoring is designed to make administration more palatable for cats and small dogs. Liquid tinctures are also absorbed quickly and can be given directly by dropper or mixed into a small amount of food or water. Your veterinarian can help determine which format is most appropriate for your pet's preferences and health situation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
