What’s In It?

Harmonizing Herbs

Heat-Draining Herbs

Spirit-Calming Herbs

Heat-Draining Herbs

In a healthy dog, the heart, a fire element (yang), and the kidney, a water element (yin), are balanced. Excessive emotional or physical stress and aging can diminish normal kidney function, which leads to the inability to control heat (heart fire) and subsequently allows nervousness to occur. Rehmannia, asparagus tuber, ophiopogon, and scrophularia all help to clear heat and restore balance.

Spirit-Calming Herbs

Anxious behavior may also occur due to an imbalance of the heart itself and may take root as excess heat or agitation. Biota seed and polygala help to calm the spirit while preserving the dog or cat’s unique personality.

Harmonizing Herbs

Conducts the actions of the other herbs upward to the heart spirit.
