Product Description
Description & Explanation
As an animal ages, the Qi (energy) and vital essences begin to weaken. This causes their normal flow to become inhibited. Many symptoms an older animal experiences come from a complex picture of Qi and blood that is both weak and stuck.
At the center of this picture is a deficiency of Qi in the Spleen and Stomach. This results in general weakness and fatigue which may or may not be accompanied by digestive problems.
A further continuation of weakness from aging is when the deficiency affects the Kidney meridian. The Kidney is the source of Yin, Yang, and Jing (essence). Weak Kidney essence leads to difficulty hearing. The Kidneys govern the low back and knees and weakness can result in back and knee pain. Herbs that benefit Kidney yang strengthen the sinews and the bones which may be painful and creaky. Extreme fatigue comes from weak Kidney qi.
In addition, a key aspect of treating older animals is to move (or quicken) the blood. This resolves blood stasis that can come from various causes, and is nearly always present in elderly animals. It can result in pain, impaired movement, and is always present in enduring illnesses. The blood may also be weak and deficient resulting in dry, brittle fur and nails and weak vision. For the blood to move, it also needs to be nourished. Blood nourishing herbs benefit the eyesight, skin, fur and nails.

Treatment Course – As a general rule, the longer an animal has suffered with a health problem the longer it takes to resolve. Some conditions heal within a week or two. Others require longer treatment. If treatment is given for more than two weeks, we recommend treating for 8 days on and two days off.
