Herbsmith Rx Jie Jie Wan is a classical Chinese herbal formula recommended by holistic veterinarians to clear blood heat and support normal urinary flow in dogs, cats, and horses. Indicated for difficult urination due to blood heat and blood strangury, it clears heat at the blood level, promotes normal urinary flow, resolves damp-heat and blood stasis obstructing the urinary tract, and tonifies qi to support the formula's strong clearing and draining actions throughout the treatment course. A twelve-herb formula addressing the blood heat and blood strangury pattern from five simultaneous therapeutic angles, Jie Jie Wan combines a urinary damp-heat-clearing and diuresis-promoting group, a blood-heat-clearing and blood-cooling group addressing the blood heat component of the strangury pattern, the classical E Zhu and San Leng paired combination for blood and qi stasis breaking in the urinary tract, Yan Hu Suo for qi stagnation and urinary urgency and stiffness, and Huang Qi to tonify the qi and prevent the formula's sustained clearing and draining action from overburdening the righteous qi. Well suited for dogs, cats, and horses presenting with blood heat and blood strangury, characterized by difficult, scanty, urgent, or dark urination from blood heat accumulation in the bladder, possible blood-tinged urine reflecting the blood heat injuring the blood vessels in the urinary tract, a red tongue with a yellow coating reflecting the blood heat and damp-heat accumulation, and a rapid and wiry pulse. Available as a concentrated 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, and your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

For Dogs (Canine Blend Powder):
For Cats (Canine Blend Powder): ¼ tsp twice daily, or as prescribed
For Horses (Equine/Horse Blend, 1,000 lb horse): Two tablespoons twice daily for 20 days, then two tablespoons once daily in grain. If the horse initially refuses, start with a small amount mixed into grain and gradually increase until the horse is accustomed to the taste. Most horses will readily accept the herbs in their grain.

Jie Jie Wan is a twelve-herb formula for difficult urination due to blood heat and blood strangury, organized into five herb groups: blood heat clearance, urinary damp-heat draining and diuresis promotion, blood and qi stasis breaking, qi stagnation regulation, and qi tonification, with Gan Cao harmonizing the formula:
Jie Jie Wan contains Da Huang (rhubarb root), which has strong purgative, blood-heat-clearing, and anticoagulant properties that warrant monitoring in animals on laxatives, blood thinners, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, and cardiac glycosides; Da Huang's electrolyte-depleting effects from its purgative action may potentiate the toxicity of cardiac glycosides such as digoxin. E Zhu and San Leng are two of the strongest blood stasis-breaking herbs in the materia medica and together produce a potent anticoagulant and blood-moving effect that warrants careful monitoring in animals on warfarin, heparin, aspirin, or other anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Huang Qi may interact with immunosuppressive medications through its immune-modulating properties. Yan Hu Suo contains alkaloids that may interact with medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system and may potentiate sedative medications. The formula's overall character is strongly clearing and draining, and it is indicated specifically for the blood heat and blood strangury pattern confirmed by the veterinarian through tongue, pulse, and urinary assessment; it is not appropriate for urinary conditions without the blood heat pattern presentation, or for animals with significant qi or yang deficiency without concurrent blood heat.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications (Da Huang, E Zhu, San Leng, and Yan Hu Suo's collective blood-moving and anticoagulant effects), cardiac glycosides and digoxin (Da Huang's purgative electrolyte-depleting effects), laxatives (Da Huang's purgative action may cause excessive purging when combined), immunosuppressive medications (Huang Qi's immune-modulating properties), and sedative or CNS medications (Yan Hu Suo's alkaloid content). Your authorizing veterinarian will determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, current medications, and confirmation of the blood heat and blood strangury pattern through urinary assessment, tongue quality, and pulse examination.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Jie Jie Wan is indicated for difficult urination due to blood heat and blood strangury, presenting with difficult, scanty, urgent, or dark urination from blood heat and damp-heat accumulation in the bladder and urinary tract, possible blood-tinged urine reflecting the blood heat injuring the urinary blood vessels, a red tongue with a yellow coating reflecting the blood heat and damp-heat pattern, and a rapid wiry pulse. It addresses the specific blood heat and blood strangury pattern, where heat at the blood level is the primary driver of urinary difficulty, distinguishing it from other urinary pattern formulas that address cold, qi deficiency, or simple damp-heat without the blood heat component. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the blood heat and blood strangury pattern through tongue, pulse, and urinary assessment before beginning the treatment course.
Mix the powder directly into food or grain at the dose recommended for your animal's species and body weight. Dogs and cats use the Canine Blend; horses use the Equine/Horse Blend. Dogs and cats receive the formula twice daily; horses receive two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then once daily for maintenance. If the horse initially refuses, start with a small amount mixed into grain and gradually increase until the horse is accustomed to the taste. Most horses will readily accept the herbs in their grain. Because Jie Jie Wan contains Da Huang (rhubarb root) and the strong stasis-breaking pairing of E Zhu and San Leng, your authorizing veterinarian will review current medications for potential interactions, monitor for signs of excessive purging from Da Huang's purgative action, and provide specific dosing guidance appropriate for the severity of the blood heat and blood strangury pattern.
Jie Jie Wan addresses an acute and active blood heat and blood strangury pattern rather than a chronic constitutional deficiency, and improvement in urinary flow, urine color, and urinary urgency is often seen within 1 to 3 weeks of consistent use as the blood heat is cleared and the damp-heat obstruction in the urinary tract is progressively resolved by the formula's five urinary damp-heat-clearing herbs and two blood-stasis-breaking herbs. The speed of response reflects the severity and duration of the blood heat pattern: acute presentations with clear blood heat signs respond more quickly than chronic or complex presentations with established blood stasis in the urinary tract. Your veterinarian will monitor urinary flow, urine color and character, tongue color and coating, and pulse quality throughout the treatment course to confirm the blood heat pattern is resolving and determine when the formula is no longer needed or when a maintenance or transitional formula is appropriate.
E Zhu and San Leng are the two strongest blood- and qi-stasis-breaking herbs in the Chinese materia medica and are most commonly used in formulas for abdominal masses and accumulations, but their stasis-breaking action is not limited to abdominal presentations. In Jie Jie Wan, they address the blood stasis layer of the blood strangury pattern that develops when prolonged blood heat and damp-heat accumulation in the urinary tract obstruct and desiccate the blood in the affected channels, creating secondary blood stasis that the formula's damp-heat-clearing herbs alone cannot resolve. The classical understanding is that blood strangury involving blood-tinged urine always has a blood stasis component alongside the blood heat, because the heat obstructing the urinary vessels creates local blood stasis in the traumatized vessel walls as a secondary consequence. Treating only the blood heat and damp-heat without addressing this secondary blood stasis leads to incomplete resolution of the obstruction, which is why Jie Jie Wan uses the two most powerful stasis-breaking herbs available to ensure the blood stasis layer is fully dissolved as the formula's primary clearing herbs clear the blood heat and damp-heat.
