Description & Explanation
Chinese medicine teaches that healthy digestion depends on the proper functioning of the Spleen and Stomach. (As a reminder, organs in Chinese medicine are not the same as the organs of Western medicine. The Chinese “Spleen” has very little to do with the anatomical spleen.)
The Spleen and Stomach make up a yin/yang pair. The Stomach’s job is to “rot and ripen” food. This separates the pure essences of food (which become energy) from the turbid waste (which is excreted). The Spleen transforms the food into energy (or Qi) and transports this Qi throughout the body.
Digestive problems occur when the Stomach and Spleen aren’t functioning as they should. The Qi of the Stomach can become rebellious and flow upward leading to nausea and vomiting. Heat in the Stomach meridian causes foul smelling breath. Weakness in the Qi of the Spleen can lead to a build-up of turbid dampness that causes flatulence, bloating, or loose stools. Food can also become stuck or stagnant when the Spleen Qi is weak leading to loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort or pain, and bad breath.
It is common that a diet heavy in rich and fatty foods (like many commercial pet foods) damages the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach. Eating a healthy diet is crucial to restore good health.

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.
Mix blend into food. Refrigerate when open.
Because of the sweet flavor of the glycerine in our blends, most animals enjoy the taste. Some may need the herbs to be mixed into wet food.
