What can Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) be used for??
Here's a list of my 5 Top Caregiver complaints for pursuing this type of care
Skin Allergies: Paw licking, recurrent ear/skin infections/hot spots, anal gland issues are all signs your pets' body is out of balance.
Treatment options: Herbal therapy and acupuncture to treat Dampness or Heat in the body and Clear Wind (itch), nutritional recommendations to aid a leaky gut, which leads to food hypersensitivities/ inflammation in the body, and supplements to repair the skin barrier.
Chronic Digestive Issues: Loose stools, constipation, gas, eating grass, occasional vomiting or excessive hairballs in cats are all signs of weak digestion.

Arthritis & Chronic Pain: Stiffness, hind end weakness or trembling, difficulty using
stairs/ jumping can indicate pain in pets and we can work together to make sure they're as comfortable as possible.
Treatment options: Acupuncture and Herbal meds to move Stagnation in the body relieving pain. Massage to relax muscles and fascia and improve blood flow. Exercise plans to help preserve mobility and strength. Nutritional support to reduce inflammation in the body and nourish joints, tendons/ligaments.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the leading causes of death in senior cats.
Treatment options: Herbal meds to enhance kidney function improving quality & quantity of life, acupuncture to regulate organs, nutritional support to maintain muscle mass/remove toxic buildup/ treat nausea as disease progress.
Anxiety, compulsive behaviors: TCVM refers to many of these disorders as Shen Disturbances, with the Shen being the Spirit. Western medicine fails to recognize the spirit of the animal.
