Herbsmith Energy Formula for Horses
OVERVIEW
The herbs in this blend are used to naturally support the vitality of the horse while managing exhaustion. Whether your horse is in training, trailered around the state or country, showing, or racing, this blend will invigorate the horse’s vitality and excitement about life. It can also be used to proactively manage exhaustion or excessive fatigue when you know the going will be rough. Herbsmith Energy naturally supports vitality by allowing the body to maximally utilize the horse’s daily nourishment. Therefore the response is a gradual progression to liveliness and overall maintenance of health.
BEHIND THE FORMULA
From a Chinese perspective, Qi is the vital energy, or flame, of life. Fatigue results from the depletion of Qi. The herbs in this blend are used to support a normal level of Qi. The spleen is considered to produce Qi from the food the horse eats. When overworked, poorly fed or heavily stressed, spleen Qi becomes deficient. Herbs in this blend maintain spleen Qi and all the spleen functions to, in turn, support the overall level of Qi in the entire body.
