What is Chinese Herbal Medicine for Pets?

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), although relatively new to the Western world, is a medical system that has been used in China to treat animals for thousands of years. Chinese Medicine is a complete body of thought and practice that can be traced back over two millennia in recorded history. Today it has evolved into a treatment system of complex formulas of herbs with specific uses.

The group of herbs in a formula complement each other and allow the formula to work with minimal side effects and in a way that supports the healthy and balance of the body.

WHAT TYPES OF PET ILLNESSES CAN BE TREATED BY HERBAL MEDICINE?

Chinese medicinal herbs are primarily used in dogs and cats for a variety of conditions:

  • Kidney disease

  • Gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease

  • Constipation

  • Cystitis or bladder issues

  • Vomiting and diarrhea

  • Incontinence

  • Liver problems

  • Heart problems

  • Anxiety and behavioral problems

  • Asthma and bronchitis

  • Other geriatric health complications

  • In support of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy.

Herbal treatments tend to be gentler than medication and may take longer to see clear results. Often a short course is all that is necessary for acute problems. However, chronic conditions may require several months of treatment to restore balance and wellness to the body. Herbs may often be combined with changes in diet and lifestyle as well as pet acupuncture to improve overall benefits.

What is Veterinary Tui-na?

Pronounced "twee naw", which literally means "pinch and pull," it refers to a wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine therapeutic massage and body work. From a conventional medicine perspective, Tui-na can be thought of as corresponding to a combination of acupressure, conventional massage and chiropractic techniques.
​​​​​​​
It can be used to soothe joints and sinews, promote blood circulation, strengthen the immune system and promote normal function of organs. Tui-na is most commonly used to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and is also useful as a preventative medicine therapy, because it promotes balance in the body. It can also be used in conjunction with and to enhance acupuncture and herbal treatments.
