Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Er Yin Jian is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that nourishes Yin, drains Fire, and calms the Shen to address patterns of Heart Fire with Kidney Yin deficiency and Shen disturbance in dogs, cats, and horses. This nine-herb formula combines Yin-nourishing, Fire-draining, Heart-clearing, and Shen-calming herbs, pairing a primary Yin-nourishing and Blood-cooling layer (Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mai Men Dong), a Heart Fire-draining and urinary-clearing layer (Huang Lian, Chuan Mu Tong, Deng Xin Cao), a Shen-calming and Kidney-consolidating layer (Fu Shen, Wu Wei Zi), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao) to address the combined Heart Fire excess and Kidney Yin deficiency pattern underlying Shen disturbance presentations. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, and 600g standard powder. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 4 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Er Yin Jian is a nine-herb formula organized around a Yin-nourishing and Blood-cooling layer (Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mai Men Dong), a Heart Fire-draining and urinary-clearing layer (Huang Lian, Chuan Mu Tong, Deng Xin Cao), a Shen-calming and Qi-consolidating layer (Fu Shen, Wu Wei Zi), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao):
Er Yin Jian contains Yin-nourishing and Blood-cooling herbs including Sheng Di Huang (rehmannia root), Xuan Shen (scrophularia root), and Mai Men Dong (ophiopogon tuber), Heart Fire-draining herbs including Huang Lian (coptis rhizome), Chuan Mu Tong (akebia stem), and Deng Xin Cao (rush pith), and Shen-calming herbs including Fu Shen (poria with root) and Wu Wei Zi (schisandra fruit), which may affect renal clearance, drug metabolism via cytochrome P450 enzymes (Wu Wei Zi), cardiac function, and diuretic drug interactions. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. 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 cardiac medications, diuretics, medications metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, immunosuppressive medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. May be used for up to 4 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Er Yin Jian is indicated for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Heart Fire with Kidney Yin deficiency and Shen disturbance, where Kidney Yin deficiency has failed to anchor Heart Yang and control Heart Fire, resulting in the signs of Shen disturbance associated with Heart Fire flaring upward and Kidney Yin failing to nourish the Heart. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for patients presenting with anxiety, restlessness, and Shen disturbance signs rooted in a Heart Fire and Kidney Yin deficiency pattern. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Er Yin Jian.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g, and the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 4 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.
"Er Yin" translates loosely as "Two Yin" in Chinese medicine, referring to the two organ systems whose Yin the formula nourishes: the Heart Yin and the Kidney Yin. "Jian" means a decoction or formula. In TCVM, the Heart and Kidney have a fundamental relationship of mutual nourishment: Kidney Yin ascends to nourish Heart Yin and anchor Heart Yang, while Heart Fire descends to warm Kidney Yang in the classical "Heart-Kidney communication" (Xin Shen Xiang Jiao). When Kidney Yin becomes deficient, it fails to nourish and anchor the Heart, allowing Heart Fire to flare upward and disturb the Shen. Er Yin Jian addresses this Heart-Kidney axis imbalance by simultaneously nourishing both Heart and Kidney Yin (Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mai Men Dong) and draining the excess Heart Fire that has resulted from the Yin deficiency (Huang Lian, Chuan Mu Tong, Deng Xin Cao), while calming the Shen (Fu Shen, Wu Wei Zi) and harmonizing the formula (Gan Cao).
Er Yin Jian contains several cold, bitter herbs, particularly Huang Lian (coptis rhizome) and Chuan Mu Tong (akebia stem), that are potent Heat-draining and downward-moving herbs. In patients whose digestive systems are sensitive to cold, bitter herbs, or in patients whose underlying pattern includes Spleen Qi deficiency or digestive weakness, these herbs may cause GI signs including diarrhea or vomiting. The stop-immediately instruction reflects the standard TCVM clinical caution for formulas containing potent cold and bitter herbs: if the formula is generating GI signs, it is either inappropriate for the patient's current pattern, the dose may be too high, or the patient has an underlying digestive sensitivity that needs to be addressed before this formula can be used. Stop administration and contact your authorizing veterinarian immediately if any GI signs or other unusual signs develop.
