Jing Tang Haliotis Formula Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Haliotis Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that clears the Liver, eliminates Fire, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula to address Liver Fire and Liver Heat patterns with eye involvement in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Jue Ming San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses, 1608), this eleven-herb formula pairs a Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening chief duo (Shi Jue Ming, Jue Ming Zi) with a potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio (Huang Lian, Huang Qin, Zhi Zi), a dedicated eye-brightening and nebula-resolving pair (Mi Meng Hua, Gu Jing Cao), a Blood-nourishing and Yin-supporting herb (Sheng Di Huang), a Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving pair (Mo Yao, Yu Jin), and a Qi-tonifying herb (Huang Qi) to address both the root Liver Fire and Heat accumulation and the eye cloudiness, nebula, and visual disturbance that arise from Liver Fire and Heat rising to the eyes through the Liver channel. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard capsules, and standard powder. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Liver Fire clearance and Fire draining: Shi Jue Ming clears Liver Fire, anchors Liver Yang, and brightens the eyes as the namesake chief herb; Jue Ming Zi clears Liver Fire and brightens the eyes as the formula's secondary namesake, working with Shi Jue Ming as the primary Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening pair; Huang Lian, Huang Qin, and Zhi Zi form the potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio that reinforces the chief pair by draining Fire and resolving toxins from the Liver and upper Jiao; together they form the formula's comprehensive Liver Fire-clearing and Heat-draining core
  • Eye brightening and nebula resolution: Mi Meng Hua clears Liver Heat, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula with direct affinity for the Liver channel and eyes; Gu Jing Cao disperses Wind-Heat from the Liver channel, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula and superficial visual obstruction, working with Mi Meng Hua as the secondary eye-brightening and nebula-resolving pair; Mo Yao and Yu Jin address the Blood stagnation and Qi stagnation component of nebula formation in the Liver channel and eye; together they form the formula's dedicated eye-brightening and nebula-resolving layer
  • Blood nourishment, Qi tonification, and pattern balancing: Sheng Di Huang clears Heat, cools Blood, and nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood as the primary Blood-nourishing herb, providing the Yin foundation to balance the formula's strong Heat-clearing herbs and addressing the Blood and Yin deficiency that often underlies or accompanies Liver Fire patterns; Huang Qi tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi and strengthens Wei Qi as the formula's Qi-tonifying herb, protecting the Zheng Qi from depletion by the strong Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs and sustaining the formula's long-term action

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Haliotis Formula is an eleven-herb formula organized around a Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening chief duo (Shi Jue Ming, Jue Ming Zi), a potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio (Huang Lian, Huang Qin, Zhi Zi), a dedicated eye-brightening and nebula-resolving pair (Mi Meng Hua, Gu Jing Cao), a Blood-nourishing and Yin-supporting herb (Sheng Di Huang), a Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving pair (Mo Yao, Yu Jin), and a Qi-tonifying herb (Huang Qi):

  • Shi Jue Ming (Haliotis diversicolor) - Abalone shell: The namesake chief herb; clears Liver Fire, anchors Liver Yang, brightens the eyes, and resolves visual disturbance and nebula; the primary Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening agent with specific affinity for the Liver channel and the eyes; an animal-derived mineral ingredient with a classical history of use for Liver Fire patterns with eye involvement
  • Jue Ming Zi (Cassia obtusifolia) - Cassia seed: Clears Liver Fire, brightens the eyes, and gently moistens the Intestines; the formula's secondary namesake herb from which Jue Ming San takes its name; works with Shi Jue Ming as the co-chief Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening pair, providing a gentler, seed-based complement to the mineral chief
  • Huang Lian (Coptis chinensis) - Coptis rhizome: The most potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herb in the Chinese materia medica; clears Liver and Heart Fire and resolves toxins; works with Huang Qin and Zhi Zi as the primary Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio, reinforcing the chief pair's Liver Fire-clearing action with strong, broad-spectrum Heat-clearing force
  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis) - Scutellaria root: Clears Heat, drains Fire, and resolves toxins from the upper and middle Jiao; works with Huang Lian and Zhi Zi as the primary Heat-clearing trio, addressing the Heat component across the Liver and upper Jiao channels and reinforcing the formula's Fire-draining action at the channel level
  • Zhi Zi (Gardenia jasminoides) - Gardenia fruit: Clears Heat, drains Fire, resolves toxins, and drains Damp-Heat through the urine; completes the primary Heat-clearing and Fire-draining trio alongside Huang Lian and Huang Qin, adding a Damp-Heat draining action that supports the elimination of Fire from the Liver and triple Jiao
  • Mi Meng Hua (Buddleja officinalis) - Buddleia flower bud: Clears Liver Heat, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula; a specific eye-brightening herb with direct affinity for the Liver channel and the eyes, working alongside Gu Jing Cao as the formula's dedicated secondary eye-brightening and nebula-resolving pair
  • Gu Jing Cao (Eriocaulon buergerianum) - Pipewort scapose: Disperses Wind-Heat from the Liver channel, brightens the eyes, and resolves nebula and superficial visual obstruction; works with Mi Meng Hua as the secondary eye-brightening pair, addressing the Wind-Heat component of eye patterns with a dispersing mechanism that complements Mi Meng Hua's Heat-clearing and nebula-resolving action
  • Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa, raw) - Raw rehmannia root: Clears Heat, cools Blood, and nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood; the primary Blood-nourishing and Yin-supporting herb providing the essential Yin foundation to balance the formula's potent Heat-clearing herbs and addressing the Blood and Yin deficiency that often underlies or accompanies Liver Fire patterns
  • Mo Yao (Commiphora myrrha) - Myrrh resin: Invigorates Blood, disperses Blood stasis, and reduces swelling; addresses the Blood stagnation component of nebula formation in the Liver channel and eye, as Blood stasis in the local channels can contribute to corneal opacity and visual obstruction alongside the Liver Fire and Heat
  • Yu Jin (Curcuma aromatica) - Curcuma tuber: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, clears Heat, and opens the orifices; works with Mo Yao as the Blood-invigorating and Qi-moving pair addressing the Blood stagnation and Qi stagnation component of nebula formation, while its orifice-opening action supports the formula's distribution to the Liver channel and eye
  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi and strengthens Wei Qi; the formula's Qi-tonifying and Zheng Qi-protecting herb, preventing the strong Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs from depleting the body's Qi during extended use and sustaining the formula's long-term Liver Fire-clearing action

Potential Drug Interactions

Haliotis Formula contains potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs including Huang Lian (coptis rhizome), Huang Qin (scutellaria root), and Zhi Zi (gardenia fruit), alongside eye-brightening herbs including Shi Jue Ming (abalone shell), Jue Ming Zi (cassia seed), Mi Meng Hua (buddleia flower bud), and Gu Jing Cao (pipewort scapose), Blood-invigorating herbs including Mo Yao (myrrh resin) and Yu Jin (curcuma tuber), and a Blood-nourishing herb Sheng Di Huang (raw rehmannia root), which may affect liver metabolism, coagulation, ophthalmic drug interactions, and immune function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Haliotis Formula used for in TCVM?

Haliotis Formula is indicated in TCVM for Liver Fire and Liver Heat patterns with eye involvement in dogs, cats, and horses, where Liver Fire accumulation rises through the Liver channel to the eyes, causing eye cloudiness, nebula (corneal opacity), visual disturbance, or other ocular signs associated with Liver Fire and Heat. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for pets with ocular patterns rooted in Liver Fire and Heat, including corneal opacity, eye cloudiness, and visual disturbance, particularly when accompanied by a red or dry tongue with a yellow coat, a wiry or rapid pulse, and signs of Liver channel Heat. No contraindications are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Haliotis Formula.

How is Haliotis Formula 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 0.4g, 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 concentrated capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Standard capsule and powder dosing varies; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. May be used for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

What is the significance of the classical source Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji for this formula?

Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses) is one of the most important classical texts in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, written by Yu Benyuan and Yu Benheng in 1608 during the Ming dynasty. Jue Ming San was originally formulated for horses with Liver Fire and Heat patterns involving the eyes, and the formula's name references Jue Ming Zi (cassia seed), one of its primary eye-brightening herbs. The formula's second name, Haliotis Formula, references Shi Jue Ming (abalone shell), its namesake chief herb. In modern TCVM practice, the formula has also been adapted for dogs and cats, reflecting the broader use of classical equine formulas across companion animal species when the underlying TCVM pattern is the same.

Why does Haliotis Formula include Blood-invigorating herbs like Mo Yao and Yu Jin for an eye condition?

In TCVM, nebula (corneal opacity) and eye cloudiness are not solely the result of Liver Fire and Heat — Blood stagnation in the Liver channel and the local eye tissues can also contribute to the formation and persistence of corneal opacity. Mo Yao and Yu Jin are included in Haliotis Formula to address this Blood stagnation component, invigorating Blood flow through the Liver channel and the eye to support the resolution of nebula alongside the Liver Fire-clearing and eye-brightening herbs. Yu Jin also opens the orifices and moves Qi, supporting the formula's distribution to the Liver channel and eye. This combined strategy of clearing Liver Fire and invigorating Blood reflects the classical understanding that nebula formation involves both Heat accumulation and Blood stagnation in the Liver channel, and that addressing only the Heat without resolving the Blood stagnation provides incomplete treatment.

seems to be working slowly

Going on my 3rd month with my horse having IMMK. Her better eye cleared up and her bad eye seems like it is a bit better, at least not getting worse. She is brighter and happier. Eye seems less cloudy and darker, heathier and more comfortable. This is my last hope so crossing fingers. I can't afford any vet intervention as I am paying so much as it is on meds and supplements and my vets are very expensive here. They refuse to come out and look at her and she is a rescue so can't get her to them. Couldn't afford the thousands to do so anyway and those are temporary solutions.
