Natural Veterinary Mobile Care
Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions. Herbal formulas are prescribed based on a patient's history and physical examination. Herbs, primarily derived from plant components like roots, leaves, and flowers, are combined into herbal formulas. These formulas blend various plants to work synergistically, creating effective treatments while minimizing potential side effects. Chinese herbal medicine pairs naturally with acupuncture and complements traditional veterinary medicine in restoring and maintaining your pet’s health.
