Chinese Shar-Pei Herbs And Their Uses The information provided below on herbal remedies, has been used by Shar-Pei Canadiana for the last 25 years on a need to use basis, and are by no means, meant for you not to seek veterinarian attention or other professional advice, should it be warranted. They are simply additional supplements that worked well for us, when needed, and depending on what we are trying accomplish with their use. Herbs and Their Purpose at Our Kennel I trust everyone is feeding a well researched diet. 40 years ago we had no commercial dog food preparations, and dogs ate our table scraps then, did very well on them, and lived long healthy lives. That is food for thought. You must always check your labels for soy, soya by products, lethicin and brewers yeast, as these ingredients can be the sole cause for hair loss, skin and ear problems in your dogs, also people as well. Asparagus: Boiled and mushed up into diet for people and pets, great for cancer, cancer prevention, blood vessels, kidneys and an overall preventative for many things. I believe in this vegetable, love this vegetable, and we eat this at least twice a week. Pumpkin: Seeds green roasted pumpkin seeds, shelled from the bulk food store, make great snacks and expel worms, which you may know even know your dog or cat has. They can eat them as treats, or you can grind them up and put them over their food once a month, check their stools and see if there are any dead worms after this. A must at least once a month, especially if your animals have had worms or fleas. REAL pumpkin pie filling in a can will relieve constipation and stop diaherra in its tracks for people and dogs. I have personally tried and tested this. WORKS! Yogurt: For everyday snacks or for sick old and young, especially where vomiting and diaherra are present. Returns intestinal flora back to it's natural balance, as well as a yeast fighter. Everything here eats yogurt(plain and fruit) and is especially good after a treatment of antibiotics. Broccoli Flower Heads: Should be used in conjunction with Vitamin C, CQ10, and garlic (large doses for all types of Cancer). Red Raspberry Leaves: This herb I refuse to be without, as it is used with all my pregnant bitches the last four weeks of their pregnancy - it is responsible for strengthening the uterus in preparation for delivering healthy pups and their placenta's. I have never had a C-Section or uterine inertia, ever, in any of my bitches and I have had litters of up to 8 puppies, and large small litters. It comes in any herb store, in gel capsules and I give 1 a day. Coconut Oil: The health benefits of virgin coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength. These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia. As a result of these various health benefits of coconut oil, though its exact mechanism of action was unknown, it has been extensively used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system. Coconut oil is often preferred by athletes and body builders and by those who are dieting. The reason behind this being that coconut oil contains lesser calories than other oils, its fat content is easily converted into energy and it does not lead to accumulation of fat in the heart and arteries. Coconut oil helps in boosting energy and endurance, and enhances the performance of athletes. Health benefits of coconut oil include the following: * Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged air. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care. * Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue. * Coconut Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Further, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care. * Premature Aging: Coconut oil helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties. * Heart Diseases: There is a misconception spread among many people that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as it happens in case of other vegetables oils. It does not lead to increase in LDL levels. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis. * Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight. * Pancreatitis: Coconut oil is also believed to be useful in treating pancreatitis. * Digestion: Internal use of coconut oil occurs primarily as cooking oil. Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Coconut oil also helps in absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids. * Immunity: Coconut oil is also good for the immune system. It strengthens the immune system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia. * Healing: When applied on infections, it forms a chemical layer which protects the infected body part from external dust, air, fungi, bacteria and virus. Coconut oil is most effective on bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues. * Infections: Coconut oil is very effective against a variety of infections due to its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil kills viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS, etc. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, etc. Coconut oil is also effective on fungi and yeast that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, etc. * Liver: The presence of medium chain triglycerides and fatty acids helps in preventing liver diseases as they substances are easily converted into energy when they reach the liver, thus reducing work load on the liver and also preventing accumulation of fat. * Kidney: Coconut oil helps in preventing kidney and gall bladder diseases. It also helps in dissolving kidney stones. * Diabetes: Coconut oil helps in controlling blood sugar, and improves the secretion of insulin. It also helps in effective utilization of blood glucose, thereby preventing and treating diabetes. * Bones: As mentioned earlier, coconut oil improves the ability of our body to absorb important minerals. These include calcium and magnesium which are necessary for development of bones. Thus coconut oil is very useful to women who are prone to osteoporosis after middle age. * Dental Care: Calcium is an important element present in teeth. Since coconut oil facilitates absorption of calcium by the body, it helps in getting strong teeth. Coconut oil also stops tooth decay. * HIV and Cancer: It is believed that coconut oil plays an instrumental role in reducing viral susceptibility of HIV and cancer patients. Kelp:(seaweed) This is a natural thyroid stimulator, and the iodine present in kelp is necessary for properly functioning thyroid, good metabolism, and a strong glandular system. It is also known as an anti-cancer, antibiotic, anti-arthritic and antioxidant - I use 650 mgs daily throughout my bitches pregnancy and even use it as a regular regime if I have a stressed out dog. There is also a soap available at your local bulk food stores. Apple Cider(Golden) Vinegar Organic: This is another must for a kennel - I have used this faithfully, since 1986, and I use 1/2 cap full in my dogs water everyday, I held this responsible for many of my veterans old age. It is responsible for so much - balancing digestive system and urinary tract, immune system, breaks calcium deposits (great for warding off arthritis), detoxifies body, a remedy for infertile bitches. Also fights fleas, worms and other parasites . Echinacea: One particular herb that we are very fond of for strengthening our immune systems is Echinacea. Keeping in mind that many of the shar-pei health immune related illnesses are a result of an over active immune system, such as familial shar-pei fever, and swollen hock syndrome etc., and the herb Echinacea is an immune system booster, by giving this to your dog you are boosting an already overactive problem, thus making the condition worse, rather than helping it. So if are considering using Echinacea on your pet please make sure the condition you are considering using if for, is a result of a weak immune system by checking with a breeder or a vet. Remember for people and pets and in Europe they only take it on the months of the year ending in R. Tea Tree Oil Soap: It originated in Australia from the Melaleuca Tree and is an essential oil, known as a natural antiseptic, extremely effective as an antibiotic, antifungal, antibacterial and viral infection fighter, that is gentle to the skin and speeds healing of blemishes, athletes foot, boils, calluses & corns, cold sores, herpes, insect bites and stings, lice, yeast infections - so you can see how it would fit in great for the shar pei, it can be used for just about everything from skin ailments including mucinosis(clear blisters appearing on some shar pei's skin). Again, as with everything, I personally have had no negative reactions to tea tree oil by products. St. John's Wart Oil & Herb: Another excellent one - I make my own oil and use it for everything, I even have people wanting this one. The herb is taken internally, is a spirit lifter and great for anxiety, shar-pei that suffer from separation anxiety, and for shar-pei that attend shows on a regular basis. The oil (external use only) is blood red and is used for any and all rashes, eczema, chafting, skin dryness, burns, inflammation, skin cancer, and especially good for the ears and cleaning, soothing and does help fight yeast. As with all things, works well on some and not on others. Fresh Garlic Clove: Just for those interested in what garlic does do for your pet -Garlic is considered another miracle herb and a favourite of many natural practioners. It is a total healing food. It is a herbal antibiotic that is anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial in the same ways as penicillin. It lowers high blood pressure and blood sugar, reduces cholesterol, heals infections and infectious diseases of ALL types. It also clears YEAST over runs (great for our breed). It is effective in healing urinary tract infections, strengthens digestion, feline urologic syndrome, lung and respiratory diseases, aids the body to to throw off or resist most diseases. It is a flea and worm repellent, and a complete intestinal cleaner. Also great for overweight dogs, hip displasia and all joint arthritis. If your pet suffers from one of the above you may want to give garlic a try. There are many different opinions on dose and length of time used, so always ask your herbalist about recommeded doses. Small doses are recommended and intermittently. Rescue Remedy: A bach flower remedy - a must for delivering puppies - especially if one had a traumatic delivery - goes for adult shar-pei too - a stabilizer for all STRESSFUL situations. SEE BELOW ALL BACH FLOWER INFO. Vitamin C: For everything - dogs, puppies can have this to bowel tolerance(if you see diarrhea then they are getting too much) - especially for cancer diagnosed shar-pei - at least 1000 mg daily - I give my bitches 500mg daily throughout pregnancy - never have sick puppies or moms. If the dog is ill, then all Vitamin C will be absorbed quickly into the body, and any extra will be urinated out. Parsley: Great shredded in food once in a while, if your pei has bad breath - this helps - excellent for kidneys, especially older shar-pei loosing their kidney functions. Comfrey: I grow this in my garden, excellent for wounds, breaks, sprains (external use only)-crush the plant and add into hot water-produces a very slimy substance that you put or pack on and leave overnight. Heals incredibly! CoEnzyme Q10: GREAT FOR CANCER AND HEART CONDITIONS - CQ10 is referred to the miracle nutrient coenzyme in todays modern medicine. Many medical professionals are still really unaware of it and its properties. However MANY of the newsletters I subscribe to are starting to commend its values in todays medicine. SOME of the claims to say the least - extending life in general - *strengthening the heart without exercise* - *reversing high blood pressure* - *reversing gum disease* - *AIDS therapy* - *protecting the heart* - *SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF CANCER* - *infection fighter*....and many more. CQ10 has been found to have no side effects. The body cannot survive without CQ10 and when the *natural* body level of CQ10 start to drop so does the health of the body, basically paving the way for disease to start up. Basically CQ10 is a *natural* nutrient manufactured by our body and is essential to the life and health of every living cell. Without it or lack of it our bodies are not able to fight back against infection or intrusion of diseases such as cancer...and many of us lack it...anyways for those interested in this nutrient - there is a new book called "The Miracle Nutrient CoenzymeQ10" by E. Bliznakov and G. Hunt -great book. For cancer 150 mg daily should be used. Slippery Elm: Exceptional HERB for Diaherra/Vomiting/Pnemonia and STRESS and cancer. It is exceptional for the young and old, or very weak(this is incredible) I use this alot. It coats and heals all inflamed tissue internally and externally, and is used for the stomach, ulcers, bowels, kidneys, constipation, especially diarrhea, dysentry and colitis and the entire digestive tract. Also excellent for lungs, coughing, vomiting and for stomach and bowel cancer. I use it with honey, pets love it and it is incredible, especially of you have a sick puppy. Honey I use it a lot during pregnancy and again for anything under the weather. It is immediately absorbed into the body for a natural energy. Murphy's Oil Soap We use this to bath our shar-pei in (please make sure it is the 100% Natural Vegetable Oil Soap and not the spray container cleaner) - works great for their coats and keeps their coats healthy and clean, and have been using it since 1988 with great success. Bach Flower Remedies I personally used Rescue remedy and recommended it to many - I also used it on stressed newborns. Dr. Edward Bach developed these therapies in England around the 1930's working with a homeopath when he discovered the flower essences. Even though it was developed for humans, it has been found to work just as well on animals. Flower essence therapy works on a similar mechanism as homeopathy. Parts of the flower are diluted and then potentised to become effective. The flower essences are found in liquid form. Thus, the remedies work on an energetic level, similar to homeopathy, acupuncture and Reiki. They affect the mental and emotional parts of our being. Dr. Bach felt that physical illness can be caused by emotional upset and by fixing the emotional balance the physical illness disappeared. Flower essences work to heal both physical, mental and emotional illness. All of the aforementioned illnesses affect each other in one way or another. Therefore, flower essences restore the inner balance by working on the vital force. The vital force is an inner force within the body that governs our strength and well-being. As we get sick our vital force weakens and therefore, the flower essences work on our vital force to strengthen it. The particles of the essences work in specific patterns. This means that certain essences cure certain illnesses. It is the practitioner's knowledge that is needed to pick out the correct remedy for the appropriate ailment. Overall, flower essence are to said to release negative emotions and help heal and calm, using either internally or externally non toxic and have no side effects and are safe for pets, people, children and animals of all sizes. But, how does one know what emotions dogs, cats, horses and all animals are experiencing? You would be surprised as to how easy it is to "read" an animal. All it takes is some observation and a little insight. You might discover that animals take less effort than humans do! RESCUE REMEDY - The following is a description of the Flower Remedies that make up Rescue Remedy, the most commonly used Bach Flower Remedy. Rescue Remedy is not a Flower Essence in itself but a combination of five of original Remedies. Once these five remedies are combined, the Rescue becomes an essence unto itself. If is different now than its individual essences. Rescue Remedy is the 5-flower combination for any acute trauma or stress. Considered as a single remedy in combinations. The five remedies are Star of Bethlehem for trauma and numbness, Clematis for being grounded and to prevent passing out, Rock Rose for panic, Impatiens for tension and irritability and Cherry Plum to prevent losing control. Basically four drops of the stock bottle are added to a one ounce glass dropper bottle of spring water and shaken up. It is best to make this up immediately before use as the mixture will not keep too long. Three or four drops of the mixture can be given into the mouth or onto the gums every five minutes until a response is seen. Rescue Remedy can also be given in the water during any time of stress and in this case it is best to use ten drops every time the water is changed. Rescue Remedy, combined with the homeopathic remedy Aconite makes a wonderful calming essence that can be used on wild animals, and for rehabilitation, as mentioned above it works well on any kind of stress or fear situation and definitely helps with survival rate in these situations. A few drops of the combined essence on the gums or even onto the ear of the rescued animal will calm them down and make them easier to handle. It can even be sprayed onto the skin or ears with a spray bottle and will still have a beneficial effect. A dropper of the combination can be put in the daily water for rescued animals to help them withstand the stress of captivity, and make them more manageable. Clematis- Increases attention span and ability to focus on the training lesson at hand. When the animal is comatose or unconscious for any reason; returning the animal to consciousness. After any surgery to increase recovery alertness time. Impatiens- For the very nervous animal. Any form of nervous difficulties, especially those that have the nervous shakes. For the overly anxious animal at feeding times, before a show or vets or for animals that have epileptic type fits especially when agitated by being overly excited or upset. Impatiens is for any form of pain. Rock Rose - For any form of terror and panic or after an accident, injury, fire or anything terrifying. Also for the overly fearful animal that possibly was terrified sometime in their life. Fear does not dissolve naturally. Rock Rose is for dauntless courage. For animals that are used in service to mankind such as police work. For the courageous animal to accentuate their already innate abilities. Cherry Plum - For the animal that looses control, becoming wild and crazed or for vicious animals that become dangerous when provoked. For the high strung animal, including horses, that lose control easily, animal that are destructive, losing control or losing control when seeing another animal enter into their territory. Helps retain control during mating season for both sexes. To remain in control when in competition or stressed by strange people, noises, animals. Training animals not to react to gun -fire. For the animal that becomes frantic when traveling such as horses that spook when being placed in trailers. For the animal that suffers from seizures or anxiety attacks, an animal who chews himself, allergies to grasses, or staying away from stitches after surgery. Star of Bethlehem - Star of Bethlehem is for all forms of trauma. To give comfort to animals who were left alone or are in a kennel feeling unloved. For an injured or ill animal who is required to remain at a veterinary clinic, during which one time their owners are there with them. Cerato- keeps animals grounded or on track. Therefore, it is ideal to administer before and during a training session and during competitive events. ADMINISTERING BACH FLOWERS?- To make up a combination, use 2 drops of each desired flower essence to one ounce of water; for Rescue Remedy use 4 drops per ounce of water. You can add up to 20% alcohol (usually brandy or vodka) as a preservative as desired, but some animals dislike the taste. (You can use flower remedies straight from the stock bottle, but they taste terrible!) You may use up to 6 essences in combination, with Rescue Remedy counting as one essence. In general, use the fewest essences possible. The remedy can be given by mouth, which is the most effective method. Only a few drops (4-8) are necessary, and need not be swallowed, but only must contact the mucous membranes (gums, tongue, lips). Be careful not to contaminate the dropper by touching it to the animal (if this occurs, rinse the dropper in very hot water before returning it to the bottle). You can also add a dropper full to the water dish, or a few drops on wet food (there is no effect of dilution). You can add a dropper full to a spray bottle filled with spring water, and use it to spray a room, carrier, car, around litter boxes or plants, or other problem areas. You can even put a few drops in your hand and pat the animal on the head and around the ears with it--the head is very sensitive to energy and will absorb the flower essences in this way. In the case of chewing or excessive licking or hot spots, you might want to try applying the remedy directly to the problem spot (IF it isn't too raw, otherwise the remedy will sting); the animal will then consume it when it next licks that area. The Bach Remedies can be taken directly from the stock bottle or from the personal dilution bottle by placing 2 - 4 drops in your animal's feed or water. The Remedies are easy and convenient to use with varied methods of application that can be selected to suit an individual's specific needs. The most common forms of administering the Remedies are placing them into the animal's food or water; dropping them directly into the animal's mouth; or rubbing the needed remedies on one's hands before petting them. There is no improper or wrong method of applying the Bach Remedies. It is truly not necessary to be precise in counting the number of drops in any of the dilution methods. The suggestions given, herein, are merely to offer a reasonable parameter of accepted dilution methods. Follow your own judgment and insights. Remember that you cannot overdose the Remedies for they are non-toxic. DOSAGE AND TIMING - Just a few drops (4 - 8 ) at a time are sufficient. For serious or acute conditions the remedy can be given as often as needed, even every few minutes. For most behavioral problems , you can give 3 to 4 times a day for 2 to 4 weeks. If the response is reached by that time, you may begin to decrease the dosage gradually. You may need to add a dropper full to drinking water or give once a day long-term for some problems. MULTIPLE ANIMALS - The Flower Essence remedies are non-toxic and have no side effects. Therefore, they are safe if another pet in your household should receive the flower essence via drinking water. With flower essences, if the animal needs the remedy, the remedy will work and vice versa. CHOOSING REMEDIES FOR ANIMALS - Assess the characteristics of the animal exactly as for a person. Drops of remedy can be given on food or in the animal's drinking water, 2 drops for birds and small animals; 10 drops in a bucket of water for large animals such as horses.
