Relax – A Natural Solution for Anxiety and Hypertension in Horses and Dogs

Relax was Formulated to Help Horses and Dogs That Struggle with Anxiety or Elevated Blood Pressure

The TCM Perspective on Anxiety and Hypertension

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emotional and physical stress is often linked to imbalances in key organs. The kidneys are believed to be associated with fear, while the heart holds the shen (spirit), playing a vital role in emotional well-being. Hypertension, or elevated blood pressure, occurs when liver yang rises, creating an imbalance in the body. When heart qi is deficient, it can lead to heart palpitations and increased anxiety. Relax is designed to address these issues by tonifying the kidneys, calming the liver, and stabilizing the shen.

Strengthening the Nervous System and Lowering Cortisol

This formula contains powerful nervine herbs that work to strengthen the nervous system and lower cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. By reducing cortisol, Relax helps bring the nervous system down to a more manageable level, easing anxiety and tension. This formula supports the kidneys and nourishes the heart, calming the liver, and lowering blood pressure to restore balance in the body.

What causes Liver yang to rise? 

The liver is paired with the emotion of anger, being in a emotional state of imbalance for long periods can disrupt the free flow of Qi throughout the body and start to create symptoms of anxiety or elevated blood pressure. Hypertension in the liver can also be from medication, stress or diet related, from consuming processed foods or too much sugars.  

How Relax Supports Emotional Balance and Physical Health

By tonifying heart qi, this formula calms the shen (spirit) and alleviates anxiety. It reduces hypertension by addressing liver yang imbalances and soothes the nerves, creating a calming effect that relaxes both the mind and body.

Additionally, Relax helps balance qi (energy) and harmonize the body's internal systems. By nourishing lung qi and yin, it promotes overall respiratory health, clears heat from the stomach and lungs, and alleviates irritation in the bronchial tubes. These actions help to ease any physical tension, such as tightness in the chest, that may accompany emotional stress.

Comprehensive Relief for Stress-Related Symptoms

In addition to calming anxiety, Relax offers support for a wide range of stress-related physical symptoms. The formula relaxes tense muscles, reduces blood pressure, and nourishes both the liver and kidneys. For animals experiencing enlarged veins, ruptured blood vessels, or stress-induced physical discomfort, Relax provides soothing relief that addresses both the emotional and physical aspects of their distress.
