How Bao He Wan Helps in Chronic IBD and Indigestion in Dogs, Cats, and Horses
At Natchez Trace Veterinary Services, Dr. Smith provides an Eastern exam (TCVM) in combination with the standard veterinary exam.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine philosophy is very different than our standard Western veterinary medical philosophy.
TCVM focuses on attaining balance and discovering and correcting the root cause of health problems, such as chronic IBD and indigestion, rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription medicines.
Through Eastern examination techniques, Dr. Smith chooses herbal blends to soothe your pet’s symptoms.
And, at the same time, the herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.
Bao He Wan is only one of the many TCM herbal blends available for our doctors to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.
