Arctium lappa

A gentle detoxifying herb excellent for chronic skin conditions in dogs. Supports liver function and blood purification. Safe for long-term use.

Euphrasia officinalis

Upper respiratory and ocular mucous membrane tonic, traditionally used for allergic conjunctivitis, runny eyes, sneezing, and sinus congestion in dogs, cats, and horses.

Foeniculum vulgare

A gentle carminative herb for gas, bloating, and appetite stimulation. Safe for dogs and often accepted readily due to its mild licorice-like flavor.

Silica-rich ancient plant used for connective tissue support, urinary health, and coat/hoof quality; species selection critical due to toxic relative Equisetum palustre.

A gentle respiratory herb used for coughs, bronchial issues, and ear infections (as flower-infused oil). Safe and soothing for the lungs.

Prunella vulgaris

Gentle antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing mint-family herb used traditionally as "heal-all" for oral sores, minor wounds, herpesvirus flares, and mild lymphatic swelling.

Scutellaria lateriflora
