Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Jia Wei Jin Gu Die Shang San supports musculoskeletal comfort through the traditional actions of moving Qi and Blood, dispersing Blood stasis, and nourishing Blood in dogs, cats, and horses. Also known as Augmented Muscle and Bone Traumatic Injury Powder, this seven-herb formula combines Tian San Qi, Dang Gui Tou, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Niu Xi, Hong Hua, and Yan Hu Suo for a veterinarian-confirmed Blood stasis pattern associated with musculoskeletal injury or recovery. Traditional pattern features may include localized stiffness, soreness, bruising, a purple or dusky tongue, and a wiry or choppy pulse. Any injury, unexplained swelling, or bruising needs clinical assessment; the formula is an adjunct to appropriate veterinary care, not a substitute for emergency treatment or structural injury management. Available as powder mixed into food; dogs and cats use the Canine Blend, while horses use the Equine/Horse Blend. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports
- Blood movement: Tian San Qi, Hong Hua, Ru Xiang, Mo Yao, Niu Xi, and Yan Hu Suo contribute complementary traditional Blood-moving actions for the selected stasis pattern.
- Qi movement and comfort: Yan Hu Suo and Ru Xiang combine Qi and Blood movement to address traditional channel obstruction associated with stiffness and soreness.
- Blood nourishment: Dang Gui Tou supplies the nourishing component alongside the moving herbs. The root-head designation is preserved from the existing listing pending manufacturer confirmation.
- Lower-body direction: Niu Xi traditionally conducts downward and supports the sinews and bones, complementing the musculoskeletal focus.
TCVM Principles
- Primary action: Move Blood and Qi, disperse stasis, and nourish Blood within an individualized musculoskeletal recovery plan.
- Formula framework: The existing listing describes an augmented Jin Gu Die Shang San framework, with Niu Xi and Yan Hu Suo adding downward direction and Qi movement. The exact historical base and manufacturer adaptation require source confirmation.
- Traditional Tian San Qi role: San Qi is traditionally described as stopping bleeding while moving Blood. That description does not establish that this finished multi-herb formula controls hemorrhage or is safe during active bleeding.
- Contraindications: Do not use during pregnancy, active uncontrolled bleeding, or severe Blood deficiency without concurrent stasis, as stated in the existing listing. Review seizure history and all medications with the authorizing veterinarian.
- Urgent signs: Major trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly expanding swelling, pale gums, collapse, breathing difficulty, or inability to bear weight requires prompt or emergency veterinary care. Do not delay assessment while trying herbs or encourage movement before an injury is evaluated.

Confirm the dog dose at the overlapping 80 lb boundary. Existing dose amounts are preserved; manufacturer-specific dosing has not been independently confirmed. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. Veterinary authorization and medication review are required; the veterinarian determines timing around surgery or procedures. Do not use during pregnancy or active uncontrolled bleeding. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for a suspected adverse reaction, unusual bleeding, or worsening bruising; seek urgent care for major bleeding or collapse.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions
The seven ingredients combine traditional Blood movement, Qi movement, Blood nourishment, and lower-body direction. Traditional descriptions of tissue recovery or hemostasis are not guarantees of finished-product outcomes.
- Tian San Qi / San Qi (Notoginseng root, species unconfirmed) - Notoginseng: Traditionally stops bleeding, moves Blood, disperses stasis, and addresses swelling. Its dual traditional role does not cancel bleeding concerns from the full combination or establish safety during hemorrhage.
- Dang Gui Tou (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, head portion) - Chinese Angelica Root Head: Traditionally nourishes Blood with accompanying Blood movement. The root-head designation emphasizes nourishment in the existing description; the actual plant portion requires label confirmation. Improved tissue perfusion is not assumed from this traditional role.
- Ru Xiang (Boswellia resin, species unconfirmed) - Frankincense: Moves Blood and Qi, disperses stasis, and traditionally supports tissue recovery. It is paired with Mo Yao within the musculoskeletal strategy; this does not demonstrate regeneration of injured tendons or other structures.
- Mo Yao (Myrrh resin, species unconfirmed) - Myrrh: Moves Blood, disperses stasis, and traditionally supports recovery. It complements Ru Xiang without establishing a guaranteed bruising or healing outcome.
- Niu Xi (Achyranthes root, species unconfirmed) - Ox-knee Root: Invigorates Blood, directs downward, and traditionally supports sinews and bones. Source confirmation is needed before assigning species-specific distinctions.
- Hong Hua (Carthamus tinctorius) - Safflower: Invigorates Blood and disperses stasis. This traditional Blood-moving role warrants medication and bleeding-risk review rather than assuming a measured anticoagulant effect in every animal.
- Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis rhizome, species unconfirmed) - Corydalis: Moves Qi and Blood to support comfort in stasis patterns. Its inclusion warrants review of sedatives, neurological medications, and seizure history without assuming the finished product's alkaloid concentrations.
Potential Drug Interactions
Herbsmith Rx Jia Wei Jin Gu Die Shang San contains multiple Blood-moving herbs, nourishing Dang Gui Tou, traditionally hemostatic Tian San Qi, and Corydalis. Pets taking prescription medications should use it under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited. Horses taking prescriptions also require review. Traditional Blood movement is not equivalent to a quantified anticoagulant effect, and San Qi's traditional hemostatic role does not establish safety of this combination during active bleeding. Do not use during pregnancy, active uncontrolled bleeding, or severe Blood deficiency without concurrent stasis.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines, hemostatic medicines, hormonal medicines, sedatives, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, dopamine-related medicines, antiseizure medicines, and multiple concurrent prescriptions. Discuss seizure history and any planned surgery or procedure before use; the veterinarian determines whether and when to withhold the formula. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for suspected adverse reactions, unusual bleeding, or worsening bruising; seek urgent care for significant bleeding or collapse. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jia Wei Jin Gu Die Shang San used for in TCVM?
It is selected for a veterinarian-confirmed Blood stasis pattern associated with musculoskeletal injury or recovery. Localized soreness, stiffness, bruising, a dusky or purple tongue, and a wiry or choppy pulse may contribute to assessment. Your veterinarian distinguishes this from Wind-Cold-Damp obstruction, deficiency patterns, or neurological problems and investigates structural injury. It is adjunctive support, not a substitute for fracture care, surgical treatment, rehabilitation, or emergency assessment.
How is the powder administered to dogs, cats, and horses?
Dogs and cats use the Canine Blend mixed into food. Dogs under 30 lbs receive ½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs 30-80 lbs receive 1 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs 80-120 lbs receive 1½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dogs over 120 lbs receive 2 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Cats receive ¼ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm the dog dose at the overlapping 80 lb boundary.
For a 1,000 lb horse using the Equine/Horse Blend, give two tablespoons twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue the initial schedule for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Then give two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. If initially refused, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. Medication review and timing around surgery or procedures must be settled before starting.
How are recovery and duration assessed?
Your veterinarian reviews the injury diagnosis, comfort, swelling, bruising, mobility, tolerance, and TCVM pattern alongside any prescribed rehabilitation plan. Fixed improvement or recovery timelines are not promised. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. Persistent or worsening signs call for reassessment rather than automatically extending the course. Do not force exercise or assume apparent comfort means an injured structure has healed.
Does San Qi make the formula safe during bleeding or around surgery?
No. San Qi is traditionally described as both stopping bleeding and moving Blood, but this does not establish that the full combination controls hemorrhage or prevents bleeding from other ingredients or medication combinations. Do not use during active uncontrolled bleeding or pregnancy. The veterinarian or surgeon determines suitability and procedure timing. Stop administration for unusual bleeding or worsening bruising and contact your veterinarian; major bleeding, pale gums, collapse, or rapidly expanding swelling needs urgent care.
