  • Qi movement and discomfort relief: Yan Hu Suo invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and relieves discomfort as the formula's dedicated discomfort-relieving herb and one of the most potent herbs in the Chinese materia medica for this purpose; Wu Yao moves Qi, warms the Kidneys, and relieves discomfort in the sub-diaphragmatic and lower abdominal region; Xiang Fu moves Qi, resolves Qi stagnation, and supports the Liver's function of ensuring smooth Qi flow; Zhi Ke moves Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and descends Qi; Chuan Xiong moves Qi alongside its Blood-invigorating action; together they address the Qi stagnation component that accompanies and perpetuates Blood stasis in the abdominal region
  • Formula harmonization: Gan Cao harmonizes the actions of all the herbs in the formula, moderates the potency of the Blood-invigorating and stasis-breaking herbs, and supports the Spleen Qi-generating function, ensuring the potent Blood-invigorating herbs work together without over-dispersing

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Ge Xia Zhu Yu is an eleven-herb formula organized around a Blood stasis-breaking pair (Tao Ren, Hong Hua), a Blood-invigorating and Heat-clearing pair (Chi Shao, Mu Dan Pi), a dedicated discomfort-relieving herb (Yan Hu Suo), a Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving herb (Chuan Xiong), a Blood-nourishing herb (Dang Gui), a warming Qi-moving herb (Wu Yao), a Liver Qi-moving herb (Xiang Fu), a Qi-descending herb (Zhi Ke), and a harmonizing herb (Gan Cao):

  • Tao Ren (Prunus persica) - Peach kernel: Breaks Blood stasis, invigorates Blood, and moistens the Intestines; one of the two primary Blood stasis-breaking chief herbs with a strong downward-moving and stasis-dispersing action particularly suited to Blood stasis in the abdominal and sub-diaphragmatic region; its downward-moving nature makes it especially appropriate for sub-diaphragmatic Blood stasis patterns
  • Hong Hua (Carthamus tinctorius) - Safflower: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and relieves discomfort; works with Tao Ren as the primary Blood stasis-breaking pair providing the formula's primary Blood-invigorating and stasis-dispersing action; the Tao Ren and Hong Hua pairing is one of the most classical Blood stasis-breaking combinations in Chinese medicine, used throughout Wang Qing-Ren's five Blood stasis formulas
  • Chi Shao (Paeonia lactiflora) - Red peony root: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, clears Heat, and relieves discomfort; the formula's primary Blood-invigorating and Heat-clearing herb addressing the Blood stasis and the Heat component that often accompanies Blood stasis patterns in the sub-diaphragmatic region

  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes Blood, invigorates Blood, and relieves discomfort; the formula's primary Blood-nourishing herb providing the Blood nourishment needed to prevent the formula's potent Blood-invigorating and stasis-breaking herbs from depleting Blood while resolving stasis; Dang Gui's dual Blood-nourishing and Blood-invigorating action makes it essential in Blood stasis formulas to maintain Blood sufficiency while resolving stasis
  • Wu Yao (Lindera aggregata) - Lindera root: Moves Qi, warms the Kidneys, and relieves discomfort; the formula's primary Qi-moving and warming herb for the sub-diaphragmatic and lower abdominal region, addressing the Qi stagnation component of the pattern and providing warming Qi-moving action to the Liver, Spleen, and lower abdominal channels where Blood stasis has accumulated
  • Xiang Fu (Cyperus rotundus) - Cyperus rhizome: Moves Qi, resolves Qi stagnation, and supports the Liver's function of ensuring smooth Qi flow; works with Wu Yao as the primary Qi-moving pair, addressing the Liver Qi stagnation component that perpetuates Blood stasis in the sub-diaphragmatic region and supporting the formula's overall Qi-moving strategy
  • Zhi Ke (Citrus aurantium) - Bitter orange fruit: Moves Qi, breaks Qi stagnation, and descends Qi; supports the Qi-moving herbs by addressing the Qi stagnation in the middle and lower Jiao channels and contributing to the formula's overall Qi-moving and stasis-resolving strategy through its descending and Qi-breaking action
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Licorice root: Harmonizes the actions of all the herbs in the formula, moderates the potency of the Blood-invigorating and stasis-breaking herbs, and supports the Spleen Qi-generating function; the formula's harmonizing herb ensuring the potent Blood-invigorating herbs work together without over-dispersing and supporting the Spleen's role in generating Qi and Blood

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Ge Xia Zhu Yu used for in TCVM?

Ge Xia Zhu Yu is indicated for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Blood stasis and Qi stagnation in the sub-diaphragmatic region, where Blood stasis has accumulated in the Liver, Spleen, and abdominal organs below the diaphragm, leading to discomfort and the signs associated with Blood stasis and Qi stagnation in the abdominal channels. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for patients with abdominal Blood stasis patterns, including Liver and Spleen Blood stasis presentations. Do not use during pregnancy. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Ge Xia Zhu Yu.

How is Ge Xia Zhu Yu administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

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 when that format is available, or as directed by your veterinarian. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

What is Wang Qing-Ren's Yi Lin Gai Cuo, and why are his Blood stasis formulas significant?

Wang Qing-Ren (1768-1831) was a Chinese physician whose landmark text Yi Lin Gai Cuo (Corrections of Errors Among Physicians, 1830) revolutionized the understanding and treatment of Blood stasis in Chinese medicine. Wang Qing-Ren developed five celebrated Blood stasis formulas, each targeting Blood stasis in a specific anatomical region: Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang (chest and upper body), Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang (below the diaphragm), Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang (lower abdomen), Tong Qiao Huo Xue Tang (head and sensory orifices), and Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang (channels and limbs). Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang is the formula specifically designed for Blood stasis in the sub-diaphragmatic region, targeting the Liver, Spleen, and abdominal organs. In modern TCVM practice, these five formulas remain among the most widely used Blood stasis formulas across species.

Why is Ge Xia Zhu Yu contraindicated during pregnancy?

Ge Xia Zhu Yu contains several potent Blood-invigorating and Blood stasis-breaking herbs, particularly Tao Ren (peach kernel), Hong Hua (safflower), Chi Shao (red peony root), and Chuan Xiong (ligusticum rhizome), that are contraindicated during pregnancy in Chinese medicine due to their strong downward-moving and Blood-dispersing actions. These herbs can stimulate uterine contractions and promote Blood movement in ways that are inappropriate during pregnancy. This contraindication applies across all formats and doses. Do not administer this formula to pregnant animals under any circumstances; consult your veterinarian for an appropriate alternative formula if Blood stasis support is needed during pregnancy.
