Cush-Support for Yin Vacuity Fire
Product Overview
Cush-Support for Yin Vacuity Fire is a meticulously formulated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal blend designed to address the complex symptom patterns associated with canine Cushing’s disease, a condition characterized in Western medicine by prolonged exposure to excessive cortisol. Unlike Western treatments that target cortisol production, this formula focuses on the TCM pattern of Kidney Yin Vacuity with Effulgent Fire, restoring balance to support adrenal health and alleviate distressing symptoms. Developed through extensive clinical experience and inspired by authoritative texts such as The Treatment of Modern Western Medical Disease with Chinese Medicine by Bob Flaws & Philippe Sionneau and Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine by Susan Wynn & Steve Marsden, this formula offers a holistic approach to canine wellness.
Symptoms Addressed
This formula is ideal for dogs exhibiting TCM symptoms of Yin Vacuity with Effulgent Fire, which often overlap with Cushing’s disease. Key symptoms include:
- Rapid hungering ("neng shi shan ji"): Intense appetite or polyphagia.
- Excessive thirst: Constant drinking due to internal heat.
- Obesity ("fei pang"): Weight gain or a rounded belly.
- Excess panting ("zi han") and nighttime panting ("dao han"): Signs of heat and Yin deficiency.
- Irritability ("yi nu"): Easy anger or agitation.
- Loss of sleep ("bu mian"): Restlessness or insomnia.
- Deep or purple-red tongue: A Western sign of heat or stagnation, correlating with TCM’s effulgent fire.

Western Correlation
In Western veterinary medicine, Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism) results from excessive cortisol due to pituitary tumors, adrenal tumors, or prolonged steroid use (e.g., prednisone). Symptoms like profound fatigue, obesity, excessive thirst, rapid hunger, and a deep or purple-red tongue align with the TCM pattern of Yin Vacuity with Effulgent Fire. While Western treatments like trilostane or surgery target cortisol levels, Cush-Support for Yin Vacuity Fire offers a complementary approach by addressing the root imbalances causing these symptoms, promoting long-term balance and vitality.
