Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Hindquarter Weakness is an eight-herb formula organized around a Kidney Yang-tonifying and back-strengthening chief pair (Du Zhong, Ba Ji Tian), a Qi-tonifying deputy (Huang Qi), a Yin and Blood-nourishing pair (Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui), a channel-warming assistant (Gui Zhi), a Qi-moving and lower Jiao-warming herb (Wu Yao), and a downward-guiding and bone-strengthening envoy (Chuan Niu Xi):

  • Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides) - Eucommia bark: The chief herb; tonifies Kidney and Liver Yang, strengthens the sinews and bones, and specifically benefits the lumbar region and lower limbs; the primary back-strengthening and Kidney Yang-tonifying herb and the formula's guiding herb to the lumbar and hind limb region, with a direct classical affinity for the lumbar region and lower body
  • Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) - Morinda root: Tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens the sinews and bones, and dispels Wind-Cold-Damp from the lower body; works with Du Zhong as the primary Kidney Yang-tonifying and back-strengthening pair, adding Wind-Cold-Damp dispersal to address environmental pathogen invasion alongside the root Kidney Yang deficiency
  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus root: Tonifies Spleen and Lung Qi, strengthens Wei Qi, and supports the generation of Qi and Blood to sustain the formula's tonifying action; the primary Qi-tonifying deputy addressing the Qi deficiency component of the pattern and providing the Qi foundation for the Yang-tonifying herbs to function effectively
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa preparata) - Prepared rehmannia root: Powerfully nourishes Kidney and Liver Yin, Jing, and Blood; the principal Yin-nourishing herb providing the Yin and Blood foundation that balances the Yang-tonifying herbs, ensures the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs receive adequate nourishment, and prevents the Yang-tonifying herbs from generating dryness or secondary Heat
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, moistens the sinews, and supports smooth Blood flow through the channels; supports Shu Di Huang in nourishing Blood, addresses the Blood deficiency component of the pattern, and provides a mild Blood-invigorating action to ensure the nourishing herbs do not generate stagnation
  • Gui Zhi (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon twig: Warms and unblocks the channels, disperses Wind-Cold, and invigorates Blood flow through the channels; the channel-warming assistant addressing Cold obstruction in the back and hind limb channels accompanying Kidney Yang deficiency, ensuring warmth penetrates the channels to support Qi and Blood flow
  • Wu Yao (Lindera aggregata) - Lindera root: Moves Qi, disperses Cold, and warms the Kidney and lower Jiao; the primary Qi-moving herb of the formula, directly addressing the Qi stagnation component of the pattern and warming the Kidney and lower body channels alongside the Yang-tonifying herbs; its downward-moving and warming action reinforces the formula's focus on the lower body and hind limbs
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis) - Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, strengthens tendons and bones, and guides the formula's actions downward to the lower body, hind limbs, and Kidney channel; the formula's primary guiding envoy directing the Kidney-tonifying, Qi-moving, and channel-warming actions specifically to the lumbar region, hind limbs, and lower body where Kidney Yang deficiency patterns most commonly manifest

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Hindquarter Weakness used for in TCVM?

Hindquarter Weakness is indicated in TCVM for Kidney Qi and Yang deficiency with Qi stagnation patterns affecting the back and hind limbs in dogs, cats, and horses, where Kidney deficiency has led to weakness, atrophy, or reduced function in the lumbar region and rear limbs. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for pets with hind limb weakness, lumbar weakness, or musculoskeletal patterns rooted in Kidney and Liver deficiency affecting the lower body, particularly when accompanied by a pale tongue, a deep, weak pulse in the hind position, and signs of Cold in the lower limbs. No contraindications or warnings are listed for this formula. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending Hindquarter Weakness.

How is Hindquarter Weakness administered, and what are the dosing guidelines?

Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the concentrated powder (90g or 180g), 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 as a top dressing on feed, 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. Teapills and standard formats can be hidden in food or a soft treat for easy administration. May be used as needed for up to 6 months, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Why does Hindquarter Weakness include both Yang-tonifying and Yin-nourishing herbs?

In TCVM, Kidney Yang and Kidney Yin are interdependent — Yang cannot be effectively tonified without a Yin and Blood foundation to sustain it, and the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs require Blood nourishment alongside Yang support. Hindquarter Weakness uses Du Zhong and Ba Ji Tian as the primary Yang-tonifying herbs, then includes Shu Di Huang and Dang Gui as the Yin and Blood-nourishing foundation. This balanced approach prevents the Yang-tonifying herbs from generating dryness or secondary Heat, ensures the sinews and tissues of the back and hind limbs receive adequate nourishment, and supports long-term Kidney tonification over the recommended 1 to 6 month course. This Yin-within-Yang formulation strategy is a hallmark of classical Kidney-tonifying formulas.

Can Hindquarter Weakness be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Hindquarter Weakness is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive Kidney tonification and musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anticoagulant or hormone-modulating medications, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Hindquarter Weakness is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. No contraindications or warnings are listed for this formula.

I do believe this supplement may have helped my Basil for a month or two, but I lost him on July 5th

Amazing results for my dog

The concentrated hindquarter weakness formula has produced really good results for my dog and we are only one week in thus far.

D, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about Jing Tang Hindquarter Weakness. I am excited to hear this success story because herbal formulas often take longer than a week to work due to their gentle nature. Thanks for your willingness to try Chinese herbs and for spreading the good news! - Sincerely, Samantha

Benefit

I don’t feel there has been any help to his hindquarters

Hi Tracy! We are sorry to hear Hindquarter Weakness hasn't been helping! If you have been giving this herbal formula to your pet for awhile, please check with your vet if you haven't already done so. Often, herbal formulas need to be adjusted. There are hundreds of herbal formulas available, so it's really important your vet authorizes the most appropriate formula for the Eastern signs your pet is displaying in order for it to work properly. If you haven't been giving it very long, it's possible it may need more time to start working. Since herbs are gentle, they take awhile to reach maximum effectiveness (often a month after starting).

The pills work, however, my dog disliked the taste which I have to be created to masking the taste. Thank you
