How Do Freeze Dried Beef Spleen Treats Help Dogs and Cats?
In the Five Element Theory, the Spleen and Stomach are associated with the Earth Element. The Earth Element regulates digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall energy. Feeding beef spleen to dogs and cats can help strengthen the Earth Element and support Spleen and Stomach health and function.
The Spleen plays a critical role in producing and maintaining blood and Qi (vital energy) in the body. Beef spleen is rich in iron, vitamins, and minerals, which can help nourish the blood and support overall vitality.
According to TCVM, the Spleen is vital for proper digestion and metabolism. Feeding beef spleen can help strengthen Spleen Qi, thereby improving digestive health and nutrient absorption.
The theory of "Like Treats Like" suggests that feeding a particular organ from one animal to the corresponding organ in another animal helps support that organ's health. Feeding beef spleen to dogs and cats supports and nourishes the spleen, which can improve overall health, especially digestion and immunity.
In Summary
- According to the 5 Element Theory, the Spleen represents the Earth Element.
- The attributes of Earth are qualities of patience and stability.
- By giving your pets spleen treats, you strengthen these attributes and support their Spleen Qi.
Example
A geriatric dog with multiple health problems (including loose stools, weight loss, emaciation, and muscle atrophy) is an ideal candidate for spleen treats. Since spleens are rich in pantothenic acid and potassium, feeding spleen treats can help improve their energy and prevent further muscle loss.
