Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Su Zi Jiang Qi combines Qi-descending and phlegm-transforming herbs with Kidney Yang-warming agents to address both the branch (rebellious Lung Qi and phlegm) and the root (Kidney Yang deficiency):

  • Zi Su Zi (Perilla frutescens seed) - Perilla seed: The chief herb; descends Lung Qi, transforms phlegm, and relieves coughing and wheezing - the primary Qi-descending herb in this formula.
  • Zi Su Ye (Perilla frutescens leaf) - Perilla leaf: Releases the Exterior, disperses Lung Qi, and supports the descending action of Zi Su Zi at the surface level.
  • Ban Xia (Pinellia ternata) - Pinellia rhizome: Dries Dampness, transforms phlegm, descends rebellious Stomach and Lung Qi, and relieves nausea and respiratory congestion.
  • Hou Po (Magnolia officinalis) - Magnolia bark: Moves Qi, dries Dampness, transforms phlegm, and descends rebellious Qi to relieve fullness and respiratory obstruction.
  • Qian Hu (Peucedanum praeruptorum) - Peucedanum root: Descends Lung Qi, transforms phlegm, and disperses Wind-Heat - supporting the formula's primary Qi-descending and phlegm-clearing action.
  • Rou Gui (Cinnamomum cassia) - Cinnamon bark: Warms and tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens the Kidney's ability to grasp Qi, and addresses the root deficiency underlying chronic respiratory weakness.
  • Gan Jiang (Zingiber officinale, dried) - Dried ginger rhizome: Warms the Lungs, transforms cold phlegm, and supports Spleen Yang to prevent further Damp and phlegm accumulation.
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Dong quai root: Nourishes Blood, moistens dryness, and prevents the warming and drying herbs from depleting Yin and Blood.
  • Da Zao (Ziziphus jujuba) - Jujube fruit: Tonifies Spleen and Stomach Qi, nourishes Blood, and harmonizes the actions of the other herbs.
  • Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) - Licorice root: Tonifies Spleen Qi, moistens the Lungs, harmonizes the formula, and moderates the actions of the stronger herbs.

Potential Drug Interactions

Su Zi Jiang Qi contains warming and Yang-tonifying herbs (Rou Gui, Gan Jiang) alongside Blood-moving herbs (Dang Gui) and phlegm-transforming herbs (Ban Xia, Hou Po) that may interact with certain medications. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include bronchodilators or respiratory medications, anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Su Zi Jiang Qi used for in TCVM?

Su Zi Jiang Qi is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Kidney Yang deficiency with rebellious Lung Qi and phlegm accumulation. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing chronic coughing, wheezing, labored breathing, or respiratory weakness where the underlying pattern involves the Kidney's failure to grasp and anchor Qi downward. It is particularly well-suited for older pets with chronic respiratory conditions rooted in Kidney Yang deficiency. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.

How is Su Zi Jiang Qi administered, and what are the recommended doses?

Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily - the included small scoop holds approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs.

How long does it take to see results with Su Zi Jiang Qi?

Response time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity and chronicity of the Kidney Yang deficiency and phlegm pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in breathing comfort, coughing frequency, and energy within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. For chronic or long-standing respiratory conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.

Can Su Zi Jiang Qi be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Su Zi Jiang Qi is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive respiratory support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications - particularly respiratory medications, anticoagulants, or hormone-modulating drugs - your veterinarian will evaluate whether Su Zi Jiang Qi is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. Stop use immediately if your pet develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and contact your veterinarian.

Recommended by vet.

This was recommended by my vet for my pomeranians collapsed trachea. I have not seen any improvement. What exactly is it supposed to do an what is in it?

Dear Jackie,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that Su Zi Jiang Qi has not yet provided the improvement you were hoping for with your Pomeranian’s collapsed trachea.

Su Zi Jiang Qi is an herbal formula based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) principles. It is designed to help support respiratory function, particularly for pets displaying signs of coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing due to imbalances in their respiratory system. Its key ingredients include: Perilla Seed (Su Zi) – Helps clear phlegm and ease coughing, Pinellia Rhizome (Ban Xia) – Supports the respiratory tract by helping reduce dampness, Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi) – Aids in improving the flow of energy (Qi) and soothing the respiratory system, and other herbs that collectively target imbalances contributing to respiratory discomfort.

Herbal formulas like Su Zi Jiang Qi work gently and naturally, so they often take time to reach full effectiveness—typically about a month. If you have not already, we recommend checking back with your vet. Sometimes herbal formulas need to be adjusted based on your pet’s specific TCVM pattern, as there are hundreds of formulas available, each suited to different signs and imbalances. Your vet can ensure that this is the most appropriate formula for your Pomeranian’s condition or recommend adjustments if needed.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions or concerns. We are here to help!

I bought it because it is suppose to help with collapsed trachea . I haven’t seen much of a difference but it has only been a month. Hopefully 🤞 I will see an improvement soon

Hi Karen! We are sorry to hear Su Zi Jiang Qi hasn't been helping. It may be a good idea to check in 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. Since herbs are gentle, they take awhile to reach maximum effectiveness (often a month after starting). If you don't notice any improvement soon, please check with your vet.
