Caring for Arthritic Dogs, Using Invigorate the Collaterals or Xiao Huo Luo Dan Wan for Arthritic Dogs

TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbs for Arthritis & Pain, Invigorate the Collaterals or Xiao Huo Luo Dan Wan

The TCM formula Invigorate the Collaterals (Huo luo xiao Ling Dan or Xiao Huo Luo Dan Wan) is ideal for arthritic dogs with severe persistent pain. Invigorate the Collaterals helps dogs with overuse injuries, chronic musculoskeletal pain, spasms, rheumatoid arthritis. Invigorate the Collaterals is very helpful for dogs with spinal problems including disc disease, numbness, paralysis, hemiplegia, cervical spondylomyelopathy, or degenerative myelopathy. It also helps these dogs with their behaviour problems including nervousness and compulsive disorders.

Who shouldn’t use Invigorate the Collaterals?

Invigorate the Collaterals is a strong medication that is best used for a short period, say 3-4 weeks. Dogs needing TCM formula for longer periods should be switched to other formulas, such as Ba Wei Di Huang Wan or Rehmannia Eight.

 Invigorate the Collaterals should not be given to pregnant bitches, or to dogs with blood or yin deficiency.

Safe source of Invigorate the Collaterals or Xiao Huo Luo Dan Wan

Although the ancient Chinese had wisdom to formulate excellent medicines, the modern Chinese do not provide these medicines in a guaranteed safe form. I do not recommend using any TCM formula that has not been through good manufacturing process (GMP) in the US or Canada. Please ask me for herbs that are safe for your pet.
