What Is Ping Wei San?
Ping Wei San is a TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) herbal blend to ease chronic indigestion in dogs, cats, and horses.

- Anorexia
- Damp accumulation in Spleen
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Slippery pulse
- Pale tongue
How Does Ping Wei San Help Chronic Indigestion in Dogs, Cats, and Horses?
At Natchez Trace Veterinary Services, pets often receive an Eastern exam (TCVM) in combination with the standard veterinary exam.
TCVM philosophy is very different than our standard Western medical philosophy.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine focuses on balance and finding the cause of health challenges rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription medicines.
Through Eastern examination techniques, Dr. Smith chooses herbal blends to treat symptoms. And, at the same time, the same herbs correct the health imbalances causing the symptoms.
Ping Wei San is only one of the many TCVM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.
Ping We San is a specially formulated herbal blend for relieving the symptoms of chronic indigestion while at the same time addressing the underlying causes.
The Chinese principles of treatment for Ping Wei San are:
- Dispelling Dampness
- Strengthening Spleen Qi
- Moving Stomach Qi downward
