Cervical Formula is a nine-herb formula combining Blood-invigorating, Qi-moving, channel-warming, sinew-relaxing, and Wind-Damp-dispelling herbs specifically selected for Qi and Blood stagnation patterns in the cervical and upper back channels:
Cervical Formula contains Blood-invigorating herbs (Chuan Xiong, Ji Xue Teng, Dang Gui), channel-warming herbs (Gui Zhi), Wind-Damp-dispelling herbs (Qiang Huo), sinew-relaxing herbs (Bai Shao Yao, Mu Gua), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao) that may interact with certain medications. Gan Cao (Licorice root) may interact with diuretic and antihypertensive medications with long-term use. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, diuretic medications (with long-term Gan Cao use), and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and diagnostic results.

Cervical Formula is used in TCVM for Qi and Blood stagnation patterns in the cervical and upper back channels - a pattern common in dogs, cats, and horses with neck stiffness, restricted cervical mobility, cervical muscle tension, and upper back channel obstruction. In TCVM, the cervical and upper back channels are primarily governed by the Tai Yang channel system, which is the body's outermost channel layer and is particularly susceptible to Wind-Cold-Damp invasion and Qi and Blood stagnation from trauma, overuse, or chronic obstruction. Cervical Formula addresses both the Qi and Blood stagnation root and the Wind-Damp component that often accompanies cervical channel obstruction. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.
For horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of concentrated powder twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For dogs and cats using the 90g Concentrated Powder, give 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lb body weight twice daily; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g. 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. Teapills can be hidden in food or a soft treat. For the 200g and 600g standard powder formats, dosing is higher per body weight than the concentrated formats - consult your veterinarian for specific guidance.
Ge Gen (Pueraria lobata, Kudzu root) is the chief herb of Cervical Formula and is one of the most important herbs in the Chinese materia medica specifically for cervical and upper back channel obstruction. Its properties include releasing muscle tension and stiffness, raising Yang, and opening the Tai Yang and Yang Ming channels of the neck and upper back. In TCVM, Ge Gen is considered to have a strong affinity for the cervical channel layer, making it the primary herb for neck stiffness, restricted cervical mobility, and upper back tension associated with Tai Yang channel obstruction. It is frequently paired with Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twig) as the classical Ge Gen - Gui Zhi combination for Tai Yang channel stiffness with channel-warming, a pairing drawn from the Ge Gen Tang formulas of the classical Shang Han Lun tradition.
The 90g Concentrated Powder is a highly concentrated granule format where a small amount of powder delivers the full therapeutic dose - the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g, and the typical dose for a medium dog is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lb body weight. The 200g and 600g formats are standard non-concentrated powders where the dose per body weight is significantly higher to achieve the same therapeutic effect. The concentrated formats are generally more convenient for small and medium dogs and cats where precise small-dose measurement is important; the standard powder formats may be preferred for horses or large dogs where larger volumes are easier to administer and measure. Your veterinarian will advise on which format and dose is most appropriate for your pet's size and administration preferences.
