Herbsmith Flax Plus Impulsion Herbal Formula for Horses
OVERVIEW
Flax Plus Impulsion Herbal Formula for Horses addresses achy joints and limbs, which often get worse with cold weather.
In contrast to Herbsmith Impulsion with Vitality and Herbsmith Impulsion with Composure, this combination of herbs does not affect the whole body by increasing vitality or calming the spirit. This blend is for the balanced horse that is affected by joint discomfort associated with training and daily activity and with the colder winter months.
BEHIND THE FORMULA
Herbsmith Impulsion is a modification of an ancient herbal blend to support joint health. These herbs address joint discomfort that often increases with cold weather and subsequently diminishes with warmth. This discomfort may also be accompanied by a sensation of heaviness and numbness in the limbs.
This joint discomfort is due to a local obstruction of Qi from the effects of wind, cold and dampness. The obstruction is called “bi”. The presence of wind is manifested in the change of positions either within the joint or between multiple joints. This bi also becomes more prevalent in cold weather. The numbness results from a combination of wind and dampness.
