Description:Herbsmith Clear AllerQi Dog & Cat
Supplement has Chinese herbs that cool heat and harmonize the body's defenses
to help support normal skin functions. An allergy is a hypersensitivity
reaction to food, inhalant or contact. The body's defenses are signaled into an
overreaction to a particular substance. This hypersensitivity often causes
extreme heat in the animal, seen as reddened skin, hot weepy lesions, panting,
restlessness and skin that may be hot to the touch. All Herbsmith supplements
are beneficial for cats, too.
Chinese Theory:
According to Chinese
medical theory, the liver acts as a pump that provides the smooth flow of
energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), within the body. When allergies
lead to Liver Qi Stagnation, an imbalance within the liver, the
"pump" overheats and produces skin that may be hot to the touch. The
herbs in Herbsmith Clear AllerQi ® harmonize the liver and clear this heat
without hindering the dog's overall vitality.
Chinese medicine explains that life is a balance of yin and yang. Yin
represents the fluids, maternal, quiet, nighttime and passive aspects of the
body. Yang represents the heat, inflammation, active, male, daytime and
aggressive aspects. When allergies exist the body is in a state of excess heat,
or yang. As the heat increases, it eventually burns off the essential fluids,
or yin. This depletion of fluids causes the development of phlegm in a pet.
Phlegm is seen in the form of a greasy coat, foul-smelling breath, and eye and
ear discharge. Herbsmith Clear AllerQi ® resolves the heat and excess yang.
With proper diet and care, the yin is replenished and healthy skin is
maintained.
