Herbsmith Rx Sound Tendon Herbal Formula for Horses
ABOUT
Herbsmith Rx Sound Tendon nourishes liver yin and liver blood to strengthen tendons and ligaments.
CHINESE THEORY
The liver controls the sinews such as tendons, ligaments, and fibrous tissue. The liver is analogous to a healthy green tree with strength and yet pliability to withstand the forces of the environment. The tree needs to have the strength to support and yet have the flexibility to bend with the wind. Sinews, tendons, and ligaments are similar. They need to have the strength to support the body but have the flexibility to bend and support the concussive forces placed upon them.
When liver yin or liver blood becomes deficient the sinews become brittle like a dried-out tree. The brittleness of the structures doesn't allow for the flexibility needed in motion and can lend to the tearing of fibers. The herbs in Sound Tendon tonify liver yin and liver blood to restore strength and resilience.
