Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Jia Wei Xi Jiao Di Huang San supports the traditional actions of cooling Blood, clearing Blood-level Heat, nourishing Yin, and moving Blood in dogs, cats, and horses with a veterinarian-confirmed pattern. The current listing identifies four active ingredients: Shui Niu Jiao, Sheng Di Huang, Shao Yao, and Mu Dan Pi. Together they combine a focused cooling strategy with Yin nourishment and traditional stasis management. In the Wen Bing framework, Blood-level Heat, or Xue Fen, describes a serious pattern requiring full clinical assessment alongside tongue and pulse findings. Available as powder mixed into food; cats and dogs 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 cooling: Shui Niu Jiao, Sheng Di Huang, and Mu Dan Pi contribute traditional cooling actions within the selected Blood-Heat pattern.
- Yin and fluid nourishment: Sheng Di Huang supplies nourishing and fluid-generating support alongside the cooling strategy.
- Traditional stasis management: Mu Dan Pi contributes Blood movement. Shao Yao's exact contribution depends on the confirmed peony source and preparation, which are not specified in the ingredient list.
- Balanced Heat management: Mu Dan Pi traditionally clears both Blood Heat and deficiency Heat, complementing the nourishing component without implying a guaranteed sequence of recovery.
TCVM Principles
- Primary action: Cool Blood, clear Blood-level Heat, nourish Yin, and address associated stasis in the appropriate pattern.
- Classical antecedent: The listing identifies the Xi Jiao Di Huang formula family. Its historical name is not a reliable substitute for the actual manufacturer ingredient label.
- Four-level framework: Wei, Qi, Ying, and Xue are traditional pattern categories used in Wen Bing differentiation. They are not laboratory stages, and illness does not necessarily progress through them in a fixed order.
- Contraindications: The existing listing excludes Yang deficiency and Cold patterns. Review digestion, pregnancy or nursing status, bleeding history, and all medications before starting.
- Urgent signs: Unexplained or uncontrolled bleeding, pinpoint bruising, bloody vomit or stool, high fever with marked illness, altered awareness, seizures, breathing difficulty, or collapse requires prompt or emergency veterinary care. Do not delay diagnostic testing or prescribed treatment while waiting for an herbal response.
Available Forms

Suggested Use
- Canine Blend Powder - Dogs under 30 lbs: ½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
- Canine Blend Powder - Dogs 30-80 lbs: 1 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
- Canine Blend Powder - Dogs 80-120 lbs: 1½ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
- Canine Blend Powder - Dogs over 120 lbs: 2 tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
- Canine Blend Powder - Cats: ¼ tsp twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
- Equine/Horse Blend - 1,000 lb horse, initial dose: 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.
- Equine/Horse Blend - 1,000 lb horse, subsequent dose: After the initial period, two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Mix the Canine Blend into food. If a horse initially refuses the Equine/Horse Blend, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm the dog dose at the overlapping 80 lb boundary. Existing numeric doses are preserved, not independently manufacturer-verified. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. The preserved horse schedule does not establish that every case needs a full initial course or ongoing maintenance. Veterinary authorization and close clinical reassessment are required. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for a suspected adverse reaction or worsening signs. Active bleeding, collapse, or neurological deterioration requires urgent care rather than dose adjustment at home.
Ingredients
Active Ingredients: Shui Niu Jiao (Cornu Bubali) - Water Buffalo horn; Sheng Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Glutinosae) - Rehmannia root; Shao Yao (Radix Paeoniae) - Peony root; Mu Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan Radicis) - Tree Peony root bark.
Inactive Ingredient: Flaxseed.
Source confirmation: These four ingredient designations are preserved from the current listing. It lists Water Buffalo horn, an animal-derived ingredient, rather than rhinoceros horn. Confirm the current manufacturer label, source documentation, complete species, preparation details, and proportions; the formula name alone does not establish them. Shao Yao is not identified as red or white peony, so Chi Shao is not assumed. Sheng Di Huang is retained as the unprepared Rehmannia ingredient, not substituted with Shu Di Huang; fresh-versus-dried and other processing details need confirmation. The meaning of the Jia Wei modification is not explained by the four-item list. No sourcing, legal-compliance, brand-wide absence, or therapeutic-equivalence certification is made from the existing copy.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions
The four listed ingredients combine Blood cooling, Yin nourishment, and traditional Heat and stasis management. Because one ingredient is animal-derived and the peony type is unresolved, this is described as a four-ingredient formula rather than four verified botanical herbs.
- Shui Niu Jiao (Cornu Bubali) - Water Buffalo Horn: Traditionally clears Heat, cools Blood, and resolves Heat-toxin patterns. The listing identifies it within the historical formula framework; comparable potency, dose conversion, and finished-product effects are not established by that name.
- Sheng Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Glutinosae) - Rehmannia Root: Traditionally cools Blood, clears Heat, nourishes Yin, and generates fluids. This provides the nourishing component alongside the cooling strategy. Confirm the actual preparation rather than equating all fresh, dried, and prepared Rehmannia forms.
- Shao Yao (Radix Paeoniae) - Peony Root: The exact red-versus-white peony identity and preparation require manufacturer confirmation. Red and white peony have different traditional emphases, so the current generic name does not justify assigning Chi Shao-specific Heat-clearing and Blood-moving actions as verified product facts.
- Mu Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan Radicis) - Tree Peony Root Bark: Traditionally cools Blood, moves Blood, disperses stasis, and clears deficiency Heat. These traditional roles do not establish a measured anticoagulant effect or guarantee correction of a bleeding disorder.
Potential Drug Interactions
Herbsmith Rx Jia Wei Xi Jiao Di Huang San contains cooling ingredients, Yin-nourishing Rehmannia, Peony of unresolved type, and Blood-moving Mu Dan Pi. Pets taking prescription medications should use the formula under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited. Horses taking prescriptions also require review. Traditional Blood cooling or movement is not a measured anticoagulant profile, and constituent studies do not establish the magnitude of finished-product glucose or metabolic effects in an individual animal. The existing exclusion of Yang deficiency and Cold patterns remains relevant.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines, insulin and other antidiabetic medicines, immunosuppressants, medicines sensitive to metabolic interactions, and multiple concurrent prescriptions. Discuss any bleeding history and planned procedure before use. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for suspected adverse reactions or worsening signs; significant bleeding, collapse, or neurological deterioration requires urgent care. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pattern is Jia Wei Xi Jiao Di Huang San used for in TCVM?
It is selected for a veterinarian-confirmed Blood-level Heat pattern within the Wen Bing framework, using Blood cooling, Yin nourishment, and traditional stasis management. A crimson tongue and rapid pulse may contribute to assessment, but tongue or pulse findings alone do not diagnose a bleeding, infectious, immune-mediated, or other medical condition. Serious clinical signs require timely diagnostic testing and appropriate treatment, with the formula used only as directed within that care plan.
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. The veterinarian determines whether the preserved schedule suits the current clinical situation and reassesses the pattern as it changes.
What monitoring and safety guidance apply?
Your veterinarian reviews the diagnosis, clinical signs, hydration, digestion, tolerance, tongue and pulse findings, and relevant laboratory results. The existing listing excludes Cold and Yang-deficient patterns. No fixed response timeline or blanket long-term safety claim is established. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian. Unexplained bleeding or bruising, bloody vomit or stool, high fever with marked illness, altered awareness, seizures, breathing difficulty, or collapse requires prompt or emergency veterinary care rather than waiting for the formula to work.
What does the historical Xi Jiao name tell me about this product's ingredients?
The historical formula-family name is not the ingredient label. The current listing identifies Shui Niu Jiao, Water Buffalo horn, with Rehmannia root, Peony root, and Tree Peony root bark. It does not establish the source documentation, peony type, proportions, or the reason for the Jia Wei designation. Confirm the actual manufacturer label before use; do not infer brand-wide sourcing claims, legal status, equivalent potency, or dose substitutions from the historical name.
