Chinese herbal pet remedies

Alphabetized Chinese herbs index 4 pets

A brief discussion of Chinese herbal pet remedies follows including an alphabetized list of Chinese medical herbs for numerous pet problems.

China has used herbs to improve health & treat disease for centuries if not millennia.

That tradition of herbal use makes China’s perspective on treating health issues with herbs extremely valuable. That perspective also applies to the use of pet herbs.

Chinese medical herbs, like most herbs, are safer than pharmaceuticals. They also work on more than one issue at a time, often strengthening various organs & systems at once.

The use of Chinese herbal pet remedies includes brewing them as teas. You can also create healthy tinctures by drawing out the oils from the herbs in question.

Despite the good safety record of Chinese herbs, it’s still advisable to consult a trained herbalist to avoid potential problems.

For example, herbs can have different effects on different pets. Also, combining herbs may have effects that are unpredictable.

It would be wise to start giving these Eastern pet herbs at the lowest possible dosage & gradually build up dose as needed.

It’s also important to understand that Chinese herbs may take longer to work than potent drugs do. Be patient.

Finally, using professionally prepared herbal formulations for pets may take the worry away from using herbs for your animal friends.
