What’s A Good Natural Dog Arthritis Remedy?

A Little Known Way to Help with Dog Arthritis

Arthritis hurts!

And, dogs feel pain just like people do.

Simply stated, arthritis is inflammation in the joints.

Dogs often suffer arthritis along the spine and in the hips.

Early stages of arthritis show up as minor stiffness.

Does Your Dog Have Arthritis?

Dogs are very stoic and rarely display outward signs of pain.

In other words, by the time your dog starts vocalizing his pain, he might be in the end stages of long-term joint degeneration.

So, you need to look for subtle changes in your dog’s behavior.

Symptoms you might notice first are:

  • Attitude change
  • Caution climbing stairs
  • Caution jumping up or down
  • Playing less
  • Sleeping more
  • Weight gain.

Catch and treat arthritis early, so your dog will remain more comfortable and active as he/she ages.

Herbs for Dog Arthritis

Many holistic vets recommend herbs as a natural dog arthritis remedy.

Herbs are gentle and work with the body’s natural chemistry.

Your dog’s body recognizes herbs as food and accepts their benefits with few side effects.

A wonderful natural dog arthritis remedy is the herbal blend Di Gu Pi San.

Di Gu Pi San is a Chinese herbal blend of twelve different herbs.

Working together, the herbs address different issues inside your dog’s body providing relief.

Di Gu Pi San is a great choice for dogs suffering from:

  • Arthritis
  • Chronic joint pain
  • Degenerative joint disease
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Intervertebral disc disease
  • Rheumatism.

A Natural Dog Arthritis Remedy

With an herbal blend like Di Gu Pi San, you get synergistic benefits.

Meaning, each herb works on its own yet does even more when combined with the other herbs.

The powerful herbs blended in Di Gu Pi San are:

  • Malaytea Scurfpea Fruit (Bu Gu Zhi) – soothes pain
  • Ligulilobe Sage Root (Dan Shen) – improves circulation, soothes bruising
  • Chinese Angelica Root (Dang Gui) – eases symptoms related to inflammation and fatigue
  • Chinese Wolfberry Bark (Di Gu Pi) – antioxidant
  • Angelica Pubescens Root (Duo Huo) – soothes joint pain and inflammation
  • Eucommia Bark (Du Zhong) – slows arthritis progression, reduces inflammation, supports cartilage
  • Drynaria rhizome (Gu Sui Bu) – promotes bone and sinew regeneration
  • Phellodendron Bark (Huang Bai) – soothes swelling and pain in legs, knees, and feet
  • Moutan (Mu Dan Pi) – promotes blood circulation and soothes swelling
  • Gentian root (Qin Jiao) – relaxes tendons and muscles
  • Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang) – soothes joint pain and swelling
  • Alisma (Ze Kie) – strengthens bones.

Herbs work best when combined with Eastern Food Therapy, plenty of water, and moderate exercise.
