Comparable to Four Gentlemen Powder and Wei Qi Booster, it is the foundational qi tonification formula from which many important TCVM formulas are derived, including Liu Jun Zi Tang, which adds dampness-resolving herbs for spleen qi deficiency with concurrent phlegm and dampness, and Ba Zhen Tang, which combines Si Jun Zi Tang with Si Wu San to address simultaneous qi and blood deficiency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Si Jun Zi Tang administered to dogs, cats, and horses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMix the powder directly into food or grain at the dose recommended for your animal's species and body weight.

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 spleen qi deficiency is typically a chronic deficiency pattern that has developed gradually over time, a longer course of treatment of 8 to 12 weeks or more is often needed to adequately restore the qi and maintain improvement in vitality, digestive function, and muscle condition. Your veterinarian may recommend periodic reassessment to evaluate the pattern's response and adjust the treatment plan as the spleen qi is gradually rebuilt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Si Jun Zi Tang relate to other qi-tonifying TCVM formulas?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSi Jun Zi Tang is the foundational four-herb qi tonification formula from which many related TCVM formulas are derived.

Ba Zhen Tang combines Si Jun Zi Tang with the four blood-nourishing herbs of Si Wu San to address simultaneous qi and blood deficiency. Shi Quan Da Bu Tang adds qi- and yang-warming herbs to the Ba Zhen Tang base for more severe combined deficiency patterns. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine which qi-tonifying formula best matches your animal's full TCVM pattern diagnosis based on whether the qi deficiency is accompanied by dampness, blood deficiency, yang deficiency, or other concurrent patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
