You have likely already noticed that, when left to their own devices, your dog or cat intuitively searches for certain plants to help balance their systems. That’s because dogs & cats instinctively recognize the healing power of certain botanicals and will, in turn, seek out the grasses and plants that enhance their life-force.
- Botanicals help the body eliminate toxins by stimulating processes, like physiological processes like the cleansing of the liver.
- They also serve as tonics and builders to strengthen organs, glands and tissues in specific parts of the body — such as strengthening the heart and aiding digestion.
ORIJEN’s HEALTH PROMOTING BOTANICALS
PSYLLIUM, CHICORY & LICORICE ROOT: are provided in combination to supply soluble fiber, while working to soothe and nourish the digestive tract, cleanse the colon, and reduce insulin levels. Licorice has additional positive effect on the bladder, kidney and urinary tract.
DANDELION, ROSEMARY & FENUGREEK.: Chronic kidney and liver damage is a common health problem in dogs and cats and these botanicals defend and strengthen the liver. FENUGREEK is diuretic, tonic and a general stimulant to the system but especially to the urinary organs, and is chiefly used in kidney and liver disorders.
DANDELION: used for a wide range of conditions requiring mild diuretic treatment, such as poor digestion and liver disorders.
ROSEMARY: helps inactivate toxins and then eliminate them from the liver before they can inflict any serious damage.
PEPPERMINT, SWEET FENNEL: soothe and tone the digestive tract. PEPPERMINT calms the muscles of the stomach, improving the flow of bile which the body uses to digest fats. FENNEL stimulates secretion of digestive and gastric juices, reduces inflammation of stomach and intestines, and facilitates proper absorption of nutrients from the food.
ANGELICA ROOT: is an effective aid in building the blood. As a warming agent, it helps increase circulation in the system.
ALFALFA and SUMMER SAVORY: are nutritive herbs that provide extra nutritional punch. An excellent appetite stimulant and overall tonic, these herbs have exceptional nutritive properties with minerals, chlorophyll and vitamins.
MARIGOLD FLOWERS: are rich in flavonoids—plant-based antioxidants that protect the body against cell-damaging free radicals. Marigold has a hypoglycemic effect by reducing blood sugar variances, helping to slow gastric emptying time and enhancing digestion.
