Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Frankincense Relieve Soreness is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that invigorates Blood, addresses Blood Stasis, and supports comfort and normal tissue recovery in horses with musculoskeletal stiffness and soreness associated with training or activity. This six-herb blend combines San Qi, Dang Gui, Frankincense, Myrrh, Safflower, and Huai Niu Xi for complementary Blood-moving, Qi-moving, nourishing, and channel-opening actions. In TCVM, a veterinarian may identify Blood Stasis in a horse experiencing localized stiffness, swelling, or tissue discomfort; these signs also require clinical assessment rather than being assumed to result from routine exertion alone. Available in traditional powder (150g Tack Box, 500g, 900g, 1200g) and Flax Plus (10-day, 30-day, and 60-day supply); a six-tablespoon scoop is included with the Flax Plus format. Dosing varies by body weight and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Not for use in pregnant mares.
VETERINARY AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED: Submit Your Authorization Request or Request a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation
If the horse is reluctant to eat herbs, begin with small amounts in grain and gradually increase, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm dosing for horses of other weights and for the Tack Box Blend with your authorizing veterinarian rather than assuming identical concentration from package naming alone. Do not interchange traditional powder and Flax Plus serving volumes. Not for use in pregnant mares. Review medications and planned procedures before use. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian if a suspected adverse reaction occurs.

Frankincense Relieve Soreness combines three functional layers: Blood movement through San Qi, Hong Hua, and the resin pair; Qi movement through Ru Xiang with Mo Yao; and nourishment and directional support through Dang Gui and Huai Niu Xi.
Herbsmith Rx Frankincense Relieve Soreness contains Blood-moving San Qi, Dang Gui, Hong Hua, Huai Niu Xi, and the Frankincense-Myrrh resin pair. Horses taking prescription medications should use the formula under veterinary supervision because finished-formula herb-drug interaction research in horses is limited. San Qi's traditional bleeding-stopping action does not remove the need to assess bleeding-related concerns or medication compatibility. Not for use in pregnant mares.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, NSAIDs and other medications used for musculoskeletal discomfort and swelling, and multiple concurrent prescription medications. Review any bleeding disorder, gastrointestinal sensitivity, or planned procedure with your veterinarian. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian if a suspected adverse reaction occurs; active bleeding or rapidly worsening signs requires prompt veterinary care. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

It provides a focused Blood-moving and Qi-moving strategy for horses whose musculoskeletal stiffness, soreness, or localized swelling fits a veterinarian-confirmed Blood Stasis pattern, including presentations associated with training and activity. San Qi, the Frankincense-Myrrh pair, Hong Hua, Dang Gui, and Huai Niu Xi combine movement, nourishment, and lower-body direction. Persistent swelling or worsening function requires diagnosis rather than being assumed to be normal post-exercise soreness.
For Traditional Powder, give two tablespoons twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue the initial schedule for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Then give two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue until swelling and stiffness have resolved as assessed with your veterinarian, or as directed by your veterinarian.
For Flax Plus, give one scoop (six-tablespoon scoop included) twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue the initial schedule for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Then give one scoop (six tablespoons) once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue until swelling and stiffness have resolved as assessed with your veterinarian, or as directed by your veterinarian. The existing 10-day package directions instead specify one scoop (six tablespoons) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian, for 10 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm which course is appropriate before starting.
If the horse is reluctant to eat herbs, begin with small amounts in grain and gradually increase, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm doses for horses of other weights and for the Tack Box Blend with your authorizing veterinarian. Do not interchange powder and Flax Plus serving volumes. Not for use in pregnant mares.
Tolerance depends on the individual horse, preparation, dose, concurrent medications, and underlying digestive condition. Whole-herb or natural labeling does not guarantee gentleness or freedom from adverse effects. Discuss previous gastrointestinal reactions and current medications with your authorizing veterinarian before starting. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian if a suspected adverse reaction occurs. Not for use in pregnant mares.
Your veterinarian monitors comfort, swelling, movement, tolerance, and the underlying condition to determine whether the formula remains appropriate. Continue until swelling and stiffness have resolved as assessed with your veterinarian, or as directed by your veterinarian. No fixed improvement or full-resolution timeline is promised. Ongoing use requires reassessment rather than assuming that a maintenance dose is suitable indefinitely. Sudden severe lameness, inability to bear weight, active bleeding, or rapidly worsening signs requires prompt veterinary care.
