Common TCM Ingredients and Their Benefits
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a variety of herbs to naturally support a dog’s health. Below are some of the most trusted ingredients and how they work.
Ginseng (人參)
Well-known for boosting energy and vitality. It supports the immune system and helps dogs recover from fatigue or stress. It's especially helpful for older dogs or those with low stamina.
Licorice Root (甘草)
A powerful anti-inflammatory that also supports respiratory health. Often used as a harmonizing herb in formulas, it enhances the effectiveness of other ingredients and gently detoxifies the body.
Ginger (生薑)
Commonly used to aid digestion and reduce nausea. It also improves circulation and helps ease joint pain, making it a great choice for dogs with mobility issues or sensitive stomachs.
Chrysanthemum (菊花)
Helps to cool internal heat and reduce inflammation. It's often used to support eye health and can be beneficial for dogs with skin irritations or hot spots.
Angelica Root (當歸)
Used to nourish blood and improve circulation. It's particularly helpful for dogs recovering from surgery or injury and may support hormonal balance in aging pets.
Reishi Mushroom (靈芝)
Prized for its immune-strengthening properties. It also has calming effects on the nervous system and is known to help manage allergies and other chronic health issues.
Common Conditions TCM Can Help Dogs
Anxiety & Stress
Herbs like Reishi and Zizyphus can calm the nervous system, support emotional balance, and reduce hyperactivity or separation anxiety.
Digestive Issues
Ingredients such as Ginger, Hawthorn, and Licorice Root are known to aid digestion, reduce bloating, and improve nutrient absorption.
Joint Pain & Mobility
Formulas with Du Huo and Turmeric help reduce inflammation, ease arthritis, and support long-term joint health in aging dogs.
Skin Allergies & Itchiness
Herbs like Chrysanthemum, Scutellaria (Huang Qin), and Angelica Root can help soothe inflamed skin, reduce allergic reactions, and improve coat health.
Low Immunity or Fatigue
Adaptogenic herbs like Ginseng and Astragalus help strengthen the immune system, improve energy levels, and support recovery from illness.
Post-Surgery or Illness Recovery
TCM supports healing with blood-nourishing herbs like Dang Gui (Angelica) and immune boosters that speed up recovery while reducing stress.
Why They Work So Well Together
Combining fresh food with TCM supplements helps:
- Fill nutritional gaps that even fresh diets may miss
- Support long-term organ health (e.g., liver, kidneys, heart)
- Strengthen resilience during seasonal transitions, stress, ageing
Promote internal balance (yin-yang) for whole-body wellness

TCM Dog Supplement FAQs
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healing system that focuses on restoring balance in the body using natural herbs and remedies. For dogs, TCM can help manage issues like anxiety, digestion problems, joint pain, and skin conditions—supporting the body’s own ability to heal.
TCM supplements are made from gentle, natural ingredients and are generally safe for dogs of all ages. However, it's best to consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your dog has existing health conditions or is on medication.
TCM works gradually. Some dogs may show improvement within a few days, while others may take 2–4 weeks depending on the issue and the supplement. Consistency is key.
