Description
Chinese medicine uses the term “Bi Pain” to describe pain and stiffness in the muscles, tendons, bones and joints. Bi Pain translates to a painful obstruction.
Sparky Loves It!
Our 8-year-old dachshund, Sparky, is jumping and playing since starting Joint & Muscle Blend. It’s made a major difference in his life.
According to the theories of Chinese medicine, the pathogenic factors that cause Bi Pain are wind and dampness. Change in the location or position of pain indicates wind. Heaviness, swelling, or numbness indicates dampness.
Commonly in dogs and cats, wind and dampness combine together with blood stasis creating joint pain. Pain caused by blood stasis is fixed and sharp in nature, and often feels worse at night.
Chinese medicine teaches that “new diseases are in the channels; enduring diseases enter the network vessels.” This means that conditions that are chronic or enduring in nature result in blood stasis which obstructs and hinders the free flow of the network vessels (the smallest vessels in the body).
The Chinese medicine treatment principles of the blend are to –
• Stop Pain
• Extinguish Wind & Transform Dampness
• Quicken the Blood
• Free the flow of the network vessels
Specific herbs are included in Joint & Muscle Blend which address pain in the limbs.
Joint & Muscle Blend is made with these highest quality ingredients –
Qiang Huo (Radix Et Rhizoma Notopterygii), Du Huo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis), Qin Jiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae), Sang Zhi (Ramulus Mori Albi), Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Chuan Xiong (Radix Ligustici Wallichii), Ru Xiang (Resina Olibani), Mu Xiang (Radix Auklandiae Lappae), Mu Gua (Fructus Chaenomlis Lagenariae), Jiang Huang (Rhizoma Curcumae longae), Niu Xi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae), Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi Cassiae), and Zhi Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) in a base of pure vegetable glycerine, water, and organic alcohol (total alcohol content less than 4%).
Treatment Course – As a general rule, the longer an animal has suffered with a health problem the longer it takes to resolve. Some conditions heal within a week or two. Others require longer treatment. If treatment is given for more than two weeks, we recommend treating for 8 days on and two days off.
Mix blend into food. Refrigerate when open.
Because of the sweet flavor of the glycerine in our blends, most pets enjoy the taste. Some may need the herbs to be mixed into wet food.

My 9 year old cat was starting to have difficulty jumping onto the couch and I was worried about her joint health. I found this blend and started putting it in her wet food. She doesn’t even know! Now she is back to being as spry as ever and can cuddle with me on the couch again. We are both happy!

Joint and Muscle is so wonderful. My little Luna is back to prancing and pouncing around like a kitten now. I will keep her on this forever!

My elderly cat was barely moving in her old age. Within 3 days of giving her this blend, she was more playful and could move around easier.
