Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Persica Heel Relief supports hoof comfort in horses through the traditional TCVM approach of moving Blood and Qi while nourishing Blood and Yin. The seven-ingredient formula brings together Persica seed, Safflower, Angelica, Peony, Rehmannia, Ligusticum, and Achyranthes for a veterinarian-confirmed stagnation pattern involving the lower limbs. For a horse experiencing heel soreness, it may be considered within a coordinated veterinary, farriery, and activity-management plan. Available in traditional powder (500g, 900g, and 1200g) and Flax Plus (packages labeled 30-day and 60-day supply), with a six-tablespoon scoop included for Flax Plus. Dosing varies by body weight and condition; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. Not for use in pregnant mares.

If initially refused, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm dosing for other body weights with your authorizing veterinarian. These numeric directions preserve the current listing; confirm the format-specific manufacturer label and prescribed course. Do not substitute formats scoop-for-scoop or assume equal concentrations. Veterinary authorization is required. Not for pregnant mares. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for unusual bleeding or bruising, persistent digestive upset, or other suspected adverse reactions. Worsening lameness warrants reassessment rather than simply extending the course.
Active ingredients: Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa) - Raw Rehmannia root; Tao Ren (Prunus persica) - Persica seed; Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) - Chinese Angelica root; Chao Bai Shao (Paeonia lactiflora) - Peony root; Hong Hua (Carthamus tinctorius) - Carthamus flower; Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong) - Ligusticum rhizome; Niu Xi (Achyranthes bidentata) - Achyranthes root.
Inactive ingredients, as currently listed: Flax Plus contains ground flaxseed. Traditional powder is listed as containing no inactive ingredients; confirm the actual format-specific label before relying on that absence claim.
Source confirmation: The seven identities are retained from the existing listing, not independently verified against a manufacturer label. Confirm species, plant parts, processing, concentrations, and excipients, particularly Tao Ren preparation, Chao Bai Shao's processing, and the raw Rehmannia designation. Do not substitute raw peach kernels or assume that another botanical source or preparation is equivalent. Flaxseed inclusion does not establish a quantified Omega-3 dose or demonstrated joint outcome for this product.

The seven listed ingredients combine Blood movement, Qi regulation, nourishment, and a traditional lower-limb guiding role. These traditional functions are not equivalent to quantified anticoagulant effects or proven structural repair.
Herbsmith Rx Persica Heel Relief contains several traditional Blood-moving ingredients, including Tao Ren, Hong Hua, Chuan Xiong, Dang Gui, and Niu Xi. Horses on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision because equine herb-drug interaction research is limited. Research in dogs and cats is also limited and does not establish equine compatibility. Traditional Blood movement alone does not prove the magnitude of an anticoagulant effect in this finished preparation.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, NSAIDs and other medicines used for musculoskeletal discomfort, reproductive medicines, and multiple concurrent prescriptions. Discuss bleeding history and planned procedures before use; do not stop prescribed treatment yourself. Not for use in pregnant mares. Stop administration and contact your veterinarian for unusual bleeding, bruising, persistent digestive upset, or other suspected adverse reactions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your horse's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

It offers traditional support for a veterinarian-confirmed pattern of Blood and Qi stagnation involving heel and hoof discomfort. A diagnosis such as navicular syndrome does not automatically establish this pattern or make the formula appropriate. Herbal support complements, rather than replaces, diagnostic assessment, farriery, prescribed treatment, and an individualized activity plan. It is not established to prevent navicular bone damage or reverse structural disease.
For traditional powder, give two tablespoons twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Use 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 only for the veterinarian-established course, or as directed by your veterinarian.
For Flax Plus, give one included six-tablespoon scoop twice daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Use the initial schedule for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian. Then give one included six-tablespoon scoop once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. Continue only for the veterinarian-established course, or as directed by your veterinarian. If initially refused, introduce a small amount in grain and gradually increase until accustomed to the taste, or as directed by your veterinarian. Confirm other body weights and current format-specific labels with your veterinarian; do not convert between formats by volume.
Your veterinarian monitors comfort, weight-bearing, gait, hoof findings, and the underlying diagnosis alongside farriery and activity changes. A fixed 4-to-8-week improvement timeline is not established. Continue only for the prescribed duration, or as directed by your veterinarian; do not use disappearance of visible soreness as the sole stopping rule or automatically repeat the course. Sudden severe lameness, inability to bear weight, marked hoof heat with strong digital pulses, or acute distress warrants prompt veterinary attention. Do not force exercise or ride a severely lame horse.
Not for use in pregnant mares. Your veterinarian should review all medicines, supplements, and herbal ingredients before combination, especially anticoagulants, antiplatelet medicines, NSAIDs, and overlapping Blood-moving formulas. The flaxseed blend is a different format, not proof of superior effectiveness or an interchangeable concentration. Unusual bleeding, bruising, or persistent digestive upset requires stopping administration and contacting your veterinarian.
