Herbs For Pets 3 min read

Did you know a dog’s heart pumps 4,000 liters of blood a day? Or that a cat’s heart beats around 100 million times per year? That’s a lot of work! To help keep hearts fit, we love Balsam Poplar for pets. The natural properties of Balsam Poplar make it an excellent natural heart health support for your furry friend.

History of Balsam Poplar as A Medicinal Herb

People have relied upon Balsam Poplar as an herbal remedy for centuries. This herb is particularly popular for supporting heart health. North American Indigenous communities were among the first to use it, primarily for the ability of the tree’s buds to improve circulation and relieve chest discomfort.

Rich in flavonoids and essential oils, Balsam Poplar can support healthy blood circulation and cardiovascular health. In particular, its fresh buds have natural anti-inflammatory properties making it a staple for heart wellbeing.

Today, holistic vets also use Balsam Poplar on their furry patients thanks to its gentle, effective support of heart health, offering a natural way to keep their circulatory system happy and in balance.

Benefits of Balsam Poplar for Pets

Research suggests that Balsam Poplar bud extracts act as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. Antioxidants obtained from food or supplements may help to prevent DNA damage in the body, and antimicrobial compounds may help the body fight infections.

For pets, balsam poplar buds offer many benefits. Specifically, this part of the tree is rich in organic compounds that may help encourage circulation and support healthy blood flow. It may also support coughs and respiratory issues, which is common in pets with heart diseases. Finally, this wholesome herb also contains significant anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making it an excellent addition for pets with heart conditions who need a little extra TLC from nature.

This includes pet heart problems like murmurs, congestive heart failure, and general weakness of the heart caused by old age or disease.

Safety of Balsam Poplar for Dogs, Cats, and Other Critters

While Balsam Poplar is safe and even beneficial, you should not try to dose it yourself. Leave it to the professionals! Consuming large quantities may lead to gastrointestinal upset in pets, so always follow the dose recommended on the packaging or by your vet.

Additionally, like any herbal supplement, balsam poplar should not be consumed by pets who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The dosage and quality of herbal ingredients are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team. NHV formulas are meticulously researched and made in a GMP-certified facility using only the highest quality organic or ethically harvested herbs. Each formulation was expertly developed by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.

How We Use Balsam Poplar to Support Heart Health

Our holistic vets and master herbalist added balsam poplar to our Hearty-Heart supplement because of its antioxidant content. But this herb is not alone. Hearty-Heart has nine other beneficial herbs, expertly formulated just for your pet.

That’s because balsam poplar works best synergistically with other herbal ingredients. This includes, amongst others, the well-known hawthorn, which may help to regulate hearts affected by heart disease.
