SOLUTION LS: Thick Stasis Herbal Supplement
WHY CHOOSE IT
Lichenified (thickened) skin: You may not be familiar with the term “lichenification”, but you likely have seen it before. Lichenified skin is dark, thickened skin where the natural skin creases become exaggerated. Some people say it looks like elephant skin. You may notice this on areas of your pet’s body that frequently contact hard surfaces, like elbows. Senior pets can develop this when their joints and muscles get too weak to lie down gently (they hit the floor/ground with greater force each time). Or it can occur in chronic itchy skin conditions if your pet scratches or licks the same spot of skin over and over – this mechanical trauma causes the skin to thicken in response. Many rescue pets have these lichenified patches on joints or even their butts because they have spent a lot of time sitting or sleeping on concrete and other hard surfaces. This dark, thickened skin is not scarring. It is possible to transform it back to normal, healthy skin.
According to Chinese Medicine Dermatology (CMD), lichenified skin is considered “Blood Stasis”. Our SOLUTION LS: Thick Stasis contains herbs that have long been used in Chinese Medicine to Move Blood, Soften Hardness and Nourish Blood (support the energetic vitality of the blood). This supports the development of healthy, supple skin. **

To support healthy skin in your dog, cat, or rabbit, add the herbal supplement to their food or give by mouth via oral syringe.
To add directly to their meal, mix the herbal supplement into moist canned food. Or, add the herbal supplement to your favorite powder nutritional supplement, mix with water to form gravy, and pour over kibble. Herbs can taste bitter to your pet, so you may need to introduce the supplement slowly by starting with a smaller amount at first and gradually increasing it as they get used to the new flavor in their food.
To give via oral syringe, dissolve herbal supplement in hot water. We recommend approximately 2ml of water per gram of herbal supplement (our oral syringes have measurement marks on them to make this easy). In a small bowl or shot glass, add herbal supplement to hot water and stir. Allow a few minutes for herbal supplement to fully dissolve before drawing the liquid mixture up into the syringe. Place syringe between your pet’s tongue and cheek, angled toward the back of their mouth and gently depress the plunger at a slow, even rate.
Suggested dose based on pet’s body weight:
Under 10 lbs: 0.5g 2x/day
10 - 25 lbs: 1g 2x/day
