Serenity 10 day supply

This blend is used to calm irritability and apprehension. It is ideal for the horse who is easily frustrated when asked to perform tasks, easily frightened, often shy, difficult to control due to excessive excitement and too preoccupied with the scary things in life to perform to their fullest potential.

There are no tranquilizers in the combination, but rather herbs that naturally calm to take the "unproductive edge off" without losing the horse's natural athletic ability.

Herbsmith Serenity is available in:

• 10 day supply
• 30 day supply
• 60 day supply

*Supply estimates based on a 1000 lb. horse.

Constrained Liver Qi causes excessive irritability in the horse. The primary blend is used to spread the liver Qi and resolve constraint. The horse is by nature an athlete, or by Chinese philosophy, a liver animal, and as such is prone to liver disharmony.

Horses who are easily frightened by many things in their environment often have heart shen disturbances. Heart shen is considered to control the calmness or grounding of the mind. Herbs have been added to calm the heart shen and therefore decrease the fear of spooky things in the horses' environment. In clinical practice, constrained Liver Qi and heart shen disturbances often occur together. Herbsmith Serenity addresses both issues.

(for 1000 lb. horse)
Two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days. Then administer two tablespoons daily thereafter.
