Herbsmith Soothe Joints ( Soothe Arthritis ) is useful for dogs experiencing discomfort from everyday activities. Complementary and compatible with glucosamine products.

Available in 90 tablets or 150g powder sizes.


Indications: Many animals have joint pain that can affect any limb. Joint pain is the result of a breakdown of cartilage within the joint (the cushion between two bone ends), formation of calcium deposits within the joint, and deterioration of the thickness of joint fluid. All of these changes lead to painful joints, limping, irritability and chronic discomfort for your pet. Herbsmith Soothe Joints reduces pain and decreases inflammation of the joint capsules, slowing the release of enzymes that break down cartilage and joint fluid. While glucosamine increases the viscosity of joint fluid, the mild anti-inflammatory properties of Herbsmith Soothe Joints along with glucosamine provide the complete joint care solution. Chinese Theory:
From a Chinese medical perspective, joint pain is the result of an obstruction of the flow of energy, or Qi, through the tissue of the joint and an invasion of external pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and damp. This obstruction and invasion can be caused by many factors including trauma, prolonged exposure to wind and damp, overuse of the limbs, poor genetics, etc.

To resolve joint pain, Chinese medicine uses a combination of herbs that moves blood and Qi within and around the joint and expels pathogenic factors. By re-establishing the flow of energy within the joint, the pain is resolved, limping decreased, irritability improved and normal motion restored.
