Herbal TherapyChinese herbal therapy is another branch of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). A variety of herbal formulas are used to treat the body and establish balance. Herbal therapy can be very effective with or without Western medicine. This makes herbal therapies appealing in cases when Western medication cannot be used or when the pet parent prefers not use them.

- arthritis
