The brain can benefit from Four Marvels just as the body can. Pets with behavorial problems that benefit from Four Marvels are
• aggressive when confined
• characteristically bullies


Pets benefit from Four Marvels whenever the illness or mental problem is characterized by heat and moisture. In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), moisture can range from tissues in the body being too wet and sticky (damp) to tissues having been thick and sticky for so long that they solidify (phlegm). Thus in TCM, a pet has a problem with moisture (damp or phlegm) if it has lipomas, round abdomen, masses, bladder crystals or stones,

Pets also benefit from Four Marvels whenever the illness is characterized by heat: red, warm swollen, hot, or stinky.

Some pets have only heat conditions; some, only damp conditions, but when pets have both heat and damp conditions is when they really benefit from Four Marvels.

Where in the body your pet develops heat & damp depends upon genetics, diet, & environmental exposures. For esample, if your dog or cat doesn’t drink enough water, the heat & damp is seen in bladder infections or bladder stones. If your pet has a genetic tendency to develop skin disease, such as Schnauzers & Spaniels do, we see seborrhea. In the bully breeds, including Old English Bulldogs and Staffys, we see skin fold infections (pyodermatitis) and feet infections (pododermatitis).

Ask your holistic veterinarian for herbal help if your pet has any heat/damp condition and it will be able to benefit from thousands of years of research and experimentation in herbal medicine.
