Dr. Chris Bessent On The Herbal Cures for Balance Episode 32

The Spawdcast

Dogs who eat well, heal well. This is the sentiment of Dr. Chris Bessent, an expert with 30 years of experience in holistic veterinary medicine. She uses a mixture of nutrition, herbs, acupuncture, chiropracty, and pharmacology to treat the chronic illnesses plaguing our pets. Today, Dr. Bessent is here to discuss the herbal remedies she uses to find balance in an animal’s body which leads to whole and maintained health. She covers her treatments for such widespread issues as pancreatitis, inflammation, and anxiety while delving into the underlying causes of these epidemics. And she discusses her hope that with good nutrition and care, pet owners can go from seeing a vet every month to barely at all.

Some of the herbs discussed in this episode include:

• Xiao Yao San to treat pancreatitis
• Slippery Elm for digestive support
• Frankincense and Myrrh to reduce inflammation
• Gingseng to help revive a dog’s energy
