Go to the shopFlax Plus Acute Trauma is a versatile herbal blend for horses that is ideal for addressing everything from occasional aches to discomfort caused by normal daily training and activity. These herbs, provided in their natural form, are gentle on the equine GI tract, making this a suitable option for horses who are unable to tolerate other products. Flax Plus Acute Trauma combines ground flaxseed with a targeted Blood-moving herbal blend to quickly address the root cause of discomfort and support the natural healing process from acute tissue insult.
In TCVM, tissue damage - from injury, strain, overwork, or repeated concussion - leads to stasis or stagnation of Blood in the affected area. This Blood stasis is the root cause of the soreness, swelling, bruising, and impaired healing that follows acute tissue insult. With time, Blood stagnation also obstructs the flow of Qi to the affected area, compounding the damage and slowing recovery. Flax Plus Acute Trauma is a concentrated Blood-moving formula designed to invigorate and move stagnant Blood, dispel stasis, and restore free circulation to the damaged tissue. When Blood stagnation is cleared, the body's natural healing process is unobstructed, and recovery can proceed. This approach is well established in classical TCVM and supported by modern research on the anti-inflammatory and circulation-promoting mechanisms of the herbs involved.
Every herb in this formula is selected for its Blood-moving, stasis-dispelling, or tissue-healing action. Ground flaxseed provides an omega-3 anti-inflammatory foundation alongside the herbal blend.

Herbsmith Acute Trauma is a herbal supplement designed to address the discomfort and tissue damage associated with acute injury, strain, overwork, and the normal wear of training and daily activity. Its Blood-moving herbal blend works to reduce bruising, swelling, and soreness by addressing the TCVM root cause - Blood stagnation in the affected tissue - while supporting the natural healing process and long-term recovery.
Yes. One of the key advantages of this formula is that the herbs are provided in their natural form, making it gentle on the equine GI tract. This makes it a suitable option for horses who are sensitive to or unable to tolerate other recovery products. Administering during or after feeding further reduces the likelihood of GI sensitivity.
Rather than masking discomfort, Acute Trauma uses a TCVM approach to address the root cause - Blood stagnation from tissue damage. The formula actively moves stagnant Blood, dispels stasis, reduces bruising and swelling, and supports genuine tissue healing for lasting recovery. The Ru Xiang and Mo Yao pairing (Frankincense and Myrrh) is one of the most established Blood-moving combinations in classical trauma formulas, and Notoginseng (San Qi) adds the unique ability to stop bleeding and dispel stasis simultaneously - a combination not found in most conventional recovery products.
Yes. The formula is designed to be versatile - effective for acute tissue insult such as strains, bruising, and overexertion, as well as for the cumulative Blood stagnation that builds with intensive daily training. Horses in hard work often benefit from daily use at the maintenance dose to keep Blood circulation free and prevent stasis from accumulating between sessions. A veterinary examination is recommended prior to use to confirm the formula is appropriate for your horse's specific presentation, or as directed by your veterinarian.
