Herbsmith Calm Shen is for the dog exhibiting nervousness, hyperactivity,

Chinese Theory:
Chinese theory considers anxious behavior to be a disharmony within
the body. Herbs can be used to manage this issue. Herbsmith Calm
Shen is a combination of Chinese herbs that calm the spirit and harmonize
the heart and kidney while preserving the dog?s unique vitality.
In Chinese theory the heart not only pumps blood,
but also houses the spirit and provides the ability to be settled
in the world. In a healthy dog, the heart, a fire element (yang),
and the kidney, a water element (yin), are balanced. Excessive
emotional or physical stress and aging can diminish normal
kidney function, which leads to the inability to control heart
shen and subsequently allows nervousness to occur.
Anxious behavior may also occur due to an imbalance
of the heart itself. Any depletion of heart yin or blood may
exhibit signs such as heat or agitation. The Chinese herbs
in Herbsmith Calm Shen are specially combined to support normal
kidney function and tonify heart yin and blood, thus calming
the spirit.
