Herbsmith Rx Carthamus Cool Hooves Herbal Formula for Horses

ABOUT

The herbs in Carthamus Cool Hooves Herbal Formula move blood out of this hard capsule in attempt to minimize damage to the delicate structures within the hoof.

Laminitis is a stagnation of blood in the hoof. Herbs in this ancient herbal blend are used to cause a movement of blood in the lower extremities and to tonify the blood. Stagnation of blood or Qi in any part of the body causes severe stabbing pain. Stagnation of blood and/or Qi in the hard horny capsule of the hoof is extremely painful. 

Laminitis is a stagnation of blood and Qi within the foot due to a number of underlying reasons (retained placenta, endotoxin release, hard footing, grain overload, etc.). The primary reason for the stagnation of blood in the hoof needs to be determined and resolved.

CHINESE THEORY

Movement of blood and Qi should be smooth and even throughout the body for health. A stagnation or uneven movement causes disease and with it accompanies pain. Wherever there is stagnation, there will be a pain. Also, when stagnation of any body substance occurs, there tends to develop heat, similar to the grinding of a wheel and the friction and heat that would be generated. The valuable herbs of this blend are designed to move blood and Qi in the lower extremities. By moving the blood, heat, inflammation, and pain will diminish within the hoof.
