How Da Cheng Qi Tang Relieves Impaction and Constipation in Dogs, Cats, and Horses

At Natchez Trace Veterinary Services, Dr. Smith offers an Eastern exam (TCVM) in combination with the standard veterinary exam.

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine philosophy is very different than our standard Western veterinary medical philosophy.

TCVM focuses on balance and finding the root cause of animal health problems 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 herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.

Da Cheng Qi Tang is only one of the many TCM herbal blends available for our doctors to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.

Da Cheng Qi Tang is a specially-formulated herbal blend for relieving symptoms of constipation and impaction, while at the same time addressing the underlying causes of these symptoms.

The Chinese principles of treatment for Da Cheng Qi Tang are:

  • Clearing Heat
  • Purge accumulation through the bowels

What Herbs Are in Da Cheng Qi Tang?

The main ingredients in the Da Cheng Qi Tang herbal formula are:

  • Da Huang (Rheum) to clear Heat, purge large intestine, cool blood, and resolve stagnation
  • Hou Po (Magnolia Obovata) to move Qi and relieve pain
  • Mang Xiao (Mirabilite) to purge accumulation through bowels and resolve hardness
  • Zhi Shi (Aurantium) to move Qi and relieve pain

Da Cheng Qi Tang comes from the ancient Chinese herbal formula Da Chen Qi Tang, from the Shang Han Za Bing Lun, by Zhang Zhong-Jing (220 AD).

Do You Give Your Pet Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics?

If your dog or cat suffers any type of digestive disturbance, good digestive enzymes and probiotics are a must!

Digestive enzymes are also very important because of the way our food is processed and grown today.

In addition, older dogs often naturally lack the enzymes needed to properly digest their food.

Probiotics are a must after antibiotics and many other pharmaceuticals.

Why? Because antibiotics and other medicines kill off the good bacteria in the gut. Lack of good bacteria leads to a weakened immune system and possible overgrowth of yeast (yeast infections).

Some studies also show that supplementing with digestive enzymes and probiotics ease allergies by more completely digesting foods.

Looking for an Herbal Formulation for Diabetes in Cats?

Why Use an Herbal Formulation for Diabetes in Cats? I remember my first experience giving a cat insulin shots. It was years ago, and I was pet sitting for a friend. Giving kitty an insulin shot would be easy, she said. Just give him a little tuna and give him a shot. That’s it! NOPE. To say the least, giving the kitty a shot didn’t happen quite the way she described it. What she didn’t tell me was how much kitty hated the shot. Or, how fast I’d need to inject to avoid getting scratched! Let’s face it, insulin injections
