Concentrated Shen Calmer

Formula Code: G0040C According to Yuan-heng-liao-ma-ji (Yu, 1608), a TCVM classical equine textbook, horses in natural environments are Fire animals. Domesticated horses live in stressful environments which include competitions, confinement to stalls, transport, and exposure to pollution, chemicals and medications. These horses are at risk for Liver Qi stagnation. Stress easily causes Liver Qi stagnation, and long-term Liver Qi stagnation will transform into Fire which tends to consume Heart Yin and disturb Shen. Shen refers to the spirit and mental activities. When Shen is disturbed, the horse shows anxiety, nervousness, predisposition towards stress, lack of focus on the rider, restlessness, poor performance, and madness. The key to treating Shen disturbance syndromes is to nourish Heart Yin and cool fire.   TCVM Indications: Anxiety Disorder of Shen (spirit) Heart Yin/Blood Deficiency Insomnia Nervousness Pulse: Thin and fast Restlessness Tongue: Red and dry Contraindications: None Warning: Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting or other unusual signs Dosage for Horse: 3 g twice daily as top dressing on feed Dosage for Dog/Cat: 0.1 g - 0.2 g per 10 lb body weight twice daily Directions: Use as needed up to 6 months Chinese Principles of Treatment: Nourish Heart Yin and Blood, calm down Shen, and soothe Liver Qi Clinical Studies: Small Animal Dosage Example 10 lb -- 1/16 packet twice daily; 20 lb -- 1/8 packet twice daily; 40 lb -- 1/4 packet twice daily; 80 lb -- 1/2 packet twice daily     Ingredients and Actions:           Order Now             Add to Collection
