Herbsmith Rx Fritillaria Harmonize Lung Herbal Formula for Horses
ABOUT
This blend not only stops the horse’s cough, but also harmonizes the lungs. Therefore treatment should always continue for a significant period of time after the cough is resolved to truly resolve the lung disharmony.
Herbsmith Fritillaria Harmonize Lung is not a substitute for veterinary care but rather an adjunct to veterinary care. These herbs will complement traditional veterinary care and pharmaceuticals. This blend can—and in many cases should—be used together. Consultation with Herbsmith’s veterinarian is always available to the horse’s owner or veterinarian.
CHINESE THEORY
This combination of herbs was developed generations ago to resolve cough by addressing the underlying cause, or root, of the problem—a lung disharmony. The herbs in this blend are effective at resolving cough, harmonizing the lung, clearing heat (“inflammation” in Western terms) and dispelling phlegm.
By harmonizing the lung and the lung meridian, we allow the body to heal itself. This is the true difference between treating the root cause versus simply suppressing the symptoms. Once the lungs are in harmony, the horse can react in a normal way to viruses or allergens such as dust and mold.
