Eight Treasures works through two complementary classical sub-formulas: Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen) to tonify Qi, and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances) to nourish Blood:
Eight Treasures contains Blood-nourishing herbs (Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, Bai Shao Yao) and Blood-moving herbs (Chuan Xiong) alongside Qi tonics (Dang Shen, Bai Zhu, Huang Qi). 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, immunosuppressive drugs, hormone therapies, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on the patient's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Eight Treasures is used in TCVM to address concurrent Qi and Blood deficiency - the classic dual deficiency pattern seen in animals recovering from illness, surgery, or chronic disease, as well as aging animals with reduced vitality. Signs may include fatigue, weakness, pale mucous membranes, poor coat quality, reduced appetite, and slow recovery. It is based on the classical Ba Zhen Tang formula, which combines Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen, for Qi) and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances, for Blood) into a comprehensive tonic.
For horses, give 3g (2.5 large scoops) of 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, or as directed by your veterinarian. For capsule formats, give one 0.5g concentrated 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. Mix powder into food or hide capsules and teapills in a soft treat. Use as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Eight Treasures is a gentle, balanced tonic formula appropriate for extended use in animals with ongoing Qi and Blood deficiency. It can be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Because it addresses both Qi and Blood simultaneously without harsh or draining herbs, it is well tolerated by most animals. Your veterinarian can assess whether continued use is appropriate based on your pet's response and overall condition.
Many tonic formulas address either Qi deficiency or Blood deficiency separately. Eight Treasures is specifically designed for the combined pattern, making it ideal when both are depleted concurrently - a common presentation in recovering, aging, or chronically debilitated animals. The formula's classical structure pairs Si Jun Zi Tang's Spleen-strengthening Qi tonics with Si Wu Tang's Liver-nourishing Blood tonics, creating a balanced foundation that avoids the stagnation risk of heavy tonic herbs used alone.
