Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Zhen Xin San is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that clears Fire and Heat, transforms Phlegm, calms the Heart, and tranquilizes the Mind to address Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat patterns with Shen disturbance in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on Zhen Xin San from Yuan Heng Liao Ma Ji (Yuan-heng's Therapeutic Treatise of Horses, 1608), this twelve-herb formula combines potent Heat-clearing, Fire-draining, and Phlegm-transforming herbs with Shen-calming, Qi-invigorating, and Wind-Phlegm-dispersing agents to address both the acute Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat accumulation and the Shen disturbance, restlessness, and behavioral signs that arise from Phlegm-Heat obstructing the Heart orifice and disturbing the Shen. Available in concentrated powder and concentrated capsules. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

Zhen Xin San is a twelve-herb formula combining potent Heat-clearing, Fire-draining, and Phlegm-transforming herbs with Shen-calming, Qi-tonifying, Dampness-draining, and Wind-Phlegm-dispersing agents to address Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat patterns with Shen disturbance:
Zhen Xin San contains potent Heat-clearing and Fire-draining herbs (Huang Lian, Huang Qin, Zhi Zi) alongside Phlegm-transforming herbs (Tian Nan Xing, Ban Xia, Zhu Ru) and Shen-calming and orifice-opening herbs (Yu Jin, Yuan Zhi, Jiang Can) that may interact with certain medications. 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 and cats remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include sedative or anxiolytic medications, anticonvulsant medications, cardiac medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Zhen Xin San is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat with Shen disturbance, where Phlegm-Heat accumulation obstructs the Heart orifice and disturbs the Shen, leading to restlessness, anxiety, behavioral signs, or neurological signs associated with Wind-Phlegm. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets with behavioral or neurological patterns rooted in Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat, including signs of Shen disturbance with a Phlegm-Heat component. The manufacturer lists no contraindications for this formula.
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 concentrated 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 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. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs. The manufacturer recommends use for up to 6 months.
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. The text is specifically an equine veterinary treatise, and Zhen Xin San was originally formulated for horses experiencing Heart Fire and Phlegm-Heat patterns with Shen disturbance. In modern TCVM practice, the formula has been adapted for use in dogs and cats as well, reflecting the broader application of classical equine formulas across companion animal species when the underlying TCVM pattern is the same.
In TCVM, Phlegm obstructing the channels and orifices can generate internal Wind, leading to spasms, tremors, convulsive signs, or erratic behavioral signs alongside the Shen disturbance. Fang Feng and Jiang Can are included in Zhen Xin San to address this Wind-Phlegm component of the pattern. Jiang Can specifically disperses Wind-Phlegm and calms spasms, making it particularly relevant for patterns where Phlegm-Heat has generated Wind signs. Fang Feng supports the Wind-dispersing action and helps clear Wind from the channels. Their inclusion reflects the formula's comprehensive approach to Phlegm-Heat patterns that have progressed to involve Wind-Phlegm and neurological or convulsive signs.
