In nutrient-rich meadows, swamps, and wetlands, the Bistort plant springs up with gorgeous purple-pink flowers. Growing in these biodiverse locales, it’s no surprise that Bistort is also a healing herb with a long history of use in natural remedies. In particular, it’s known for its potential as an anti-inflammatory.
History of Bistort
Bistort is a plant with a rich history of medicinal and culinary uses. It has been traditionally used throughout the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in Europe and Asia.
Since the Middle Ages, people have used Bistort for treating diarrhea, wounds, mouth and throat issues, and even as an ingredient in pudding.

This plant has a twisted rootstock, hence its scientific name Bistorta (bis = twice, torta = twisted). This twisting pattern in its roots also explains one of its other names, Snakeroot.
Today, herbalists and holistic healers use bistort due to its benefits of for the vital organs and anti-inflammatory properties. This includes integrative veterinarians, who may use Bistort or Bistort-containing supplements to support fur kiddos with adrenal issues.
Benefits of Bistort
Bistort offers several benefits for pets, particularly when it comes to supporting liver and kidney health. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce inflammation in these organs, which is important for pets with conditions that affect the adrenal glands.

This herb may also support detoxification by promoting the proper function of the liver and kidneys. As a natural remedy, Bistort helps pets maintain a healthy balance in their body systems, improving overall well-being.
Additionally, Bistort may aid with digestion and tummy troubles, which appear in pets with adrenal issues like Cushing’s disease in dogs.
Safety of Bistort for Pets
While Bistort is generally safe, the ingestion of any plant, even non-toxic ones, may potentially cause stomach upset in some pets when first introduced. Therefore, it is best to introduce Bistort in a dose that is approved by a veterinarian. Additionally, like any herb, Bistort may not be suitable for pregnant or lactating pets. As always, it is best practice to consult a veterinarian before introducing a new herb.

Holistic Pet Adrenal Support
What are the adrenal glands?
They are two small glands located next to the kidneys that work alongside the pituitary and hypothalamus glands to help regulate digestion, the immune system, and most importantly, the body’s response to stress.
When your furkiddo is stressed, their adrenal glands produce the hormones that stimulate a fight or flight response. This primal reaction can be a real lifesaver in many dangerous situations, but problems may develop when your dog or cat's adrenal system releases too much or too little of these glucocorticoid hormones. Stress can be triggered by many factors such as surgery, trauma, a change in routine, illness or even extreme weather.
Two of the most common adrenal gland disorders are Cushing’s disease (too much cortisol in the bloodstream) and Addison’s disease (too little cortisol and aldosterone).
Cushing's Disease or hyperadrenocorticism is caused by the overproduction of the hormone ACTH which is then released into the bloodstream and stimulates the adrenal glands to produce increased levels of cortisol. The adrenal glands can be pushed into overdrive from a few different causes, but most commonly, Cushing’s is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland, known as an adenoma. As scary as this sounds, it may not be life-threatening, and if caught early, your pet may be able to maintain a good quality of life and minimize symptoms. If left untreated, this type of tumor may become metastatic and develop into cancer. The telltale signs of Cushing's disease often resemble normal aging due to symptoms like lethargy, weight gain, and a dull and dry coat. Also, age is most likely a factor as Cushing's does not usually develop in dogs until the age of ten. Although less common, Cushing’s (too much cortisol) can affect our feline friends too.
Certain breeds of dogs are more prone to Cushing’s, partly because certain breeds are more prone to stress. Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Dachshunds are a few dog breeds that are more likely to develop this kind of glandular disorder.
Cushing’s Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Excessive thirst and urination
- Increased appetite (possible obesity)
- Weak muscles
- Lethargy
- Heat intolerance & panting
- Dry coat and hair loss
- Bruising
Addison’s Disease or hypoadrenocorticism occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones. Standard Poodles, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and West Highland White Terriers are some of the breeds that may be more susceptible to this glandular disorder. Addison’s Disease (too little hormone) is more common in young to middle-aged dogs and in some purebred cats.
There are two types of Addison’s Disease, primary and secondary. The primary type of Addison’s is essentially a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the adrenal glands and damages the adrenal cortex. If your furry friend is battling tumors, other diseases or is taking vet-prescribed medications to treat Cushing's, these may be contributing factors to an underactive adrenal cortex, which leads to secondary Addison’s Disease caused by a pituitary gland tumor, long-term exposure to steroids or a side effect of suddenly pausing a medication.
Addison's Disease in dogs and cats may display a combination of symptoms such as:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Loss of appetite
- Malnutrition (from lack of appetite and diarrhea)
- Occasional vomiting
- Diarrhea (sometimes dark and bloody)
- They become very weak and don’t feel like walking or playing
- Decreased energy
- Hair loss
- Decreased heart rate
The symptoms of adrenal disorders can be similar to various other health conditions in pets so your vet may recommend some in-depth diagnostic tests like a CBC, a chemistry panel, electrolyte tests and ACTH-stimulation tests to investigate your furkiddo’s symptoms.
For adrenal disease in cats or dogs with possible malnutrition (from diarrhea and excessive urination), we'd suggest adding NHV’s Adrenal Super Support and Nutritional Balance Kit to their daily meals. This bundle of natural remedies contains Supraglan, Milk thistle and Multi Essentials which have been specifically formulated for pets to gently re-balance the adrenal glands, reduce inflammation, and eliminate toxins.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Disease in Cats or Dogs
An adrenal gland disorder impacts so many areas of the body. We would recommend a holistic pet adrenal support that connects and aids each of the affected areas while minimizing side effects to help your little one get their health back on track. Suplaglan is an all-natural blend of herbs specially formulated to focus on all areas affected by glandular disorders like Cushing’s or Addison's Disease. Wild yam helps restore hormone balance, licorice encourages hormone production, and borage naturally stimulates the endocrine system to rebalance adrenal cortex function and support a calmer body and mind. In addition to helping the adrenal and endocrine system, Suplaglan also contains herbs that support the kidneys, liver, and immune system, which we know are vital to maintaining a healthy body. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver, kidneys, and is known to encourage cell regeneration. And Multi Essentials help replenish vital nutrients that your pet may have lost from increased urination, diarrhea and a fluctuating metabolism (from unstable hormone levels).

Holistic Support for Cat and Dog Adrenal Gland Problems
In cats and dogs, adrenal gland problems may be tricky to detect early on and, if left untreated, may develop into more severe health problems later on. The adrenal glands may be small, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the body's hormonal balance. In a healthy body, the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) can detect dwindling cortisol levels. As a response, the pituitary gland secretes ACTH, a substance that stimulates the adrenal gland to release more cortisol. When the pituitary gland detects that cortisol levels are normal, it stops sending messages.
You can think of the pituitary gland as a smart device for cortisol levels. ACTH secretion occurs throughout the day and regulates the ebb and flow of cortisol levels. The adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, and hypothalamus glands work together to support proper digestion and immune function, and most importantly, they regulate the body's response to stress. As any pet parent knows, dogs and cats can be drama kings and queens when it comes to any changes to their routine or diet. Stress may also be caused by something psychological, like staying at a kennel. When your dog is stressed, their adrenal glands produce hormones that trigger a fight or flight response. This primitive reaction can be a lifesaver in many dangerous situations. Yet, problems may arise when your dog's adrenal system malfunctions due to releasing too much or too little adrenal hormones.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Gland Disease in Cats and Dogs
Typical symptoms of an adrenal gland disorder are depression, vomiting, hair loss, and weight fluctuations. To help support your pet, we would recommend a holistic aid that will help to restore the immune system and gently stimulate the endocrine system to normalize hormone production. Supraglan is a blend of natural ingredients specially formulated to add immune support and help to restore normal hormone levels. Ingredients like astragalus and licorice help improve energy levels and water levels, borage helps to promote hair growth, and wild yam helps to stimulate adrenal gland function and calm excitability. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver and kidney function. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and has been used for centuries to protect the liver from harmful toxins and encourage regeneration.

Description
Holistic Support for Cat and Dog Adrenal Gland Problems
In cats and dogs, adrenal gland problems may be tricky to detect early on and, if left untreated, may develop into more severe health problems later on. The adrenal glands may be small, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the body's hormonal balance. In a healthy body, the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain) can detect dwindling cortisol levels. As a response, the pituitary gland secretes ACTH, a substance that stimulates the adrenal gland to release more cortisol. When the pituitary gland detects that cortisol levels are normal, it stops sending messages.
You can think of the pituitary gland as a smart device for cortisol levels. ACTH secretion occurs throughout the day and regulates the ebb and flow of cortisol levels. The adrenal glands, the pituitary gland, and hypothalamus glands work together to support proper digestion and immune function, and most importantly, they regulate the body's response to stress. As any pet parent knows, dogs and cats can be drama kings and queens when it comes to any changes to their routine or diet. Stress may also be caused by something psychological, like staying at a kennel. When your dog is stressed, their adrenal glands produce hormones that trigger a fight or flight response. This primitive reaction can be a lifesaver in many dangerous situations. Yet, problems may arise when your dog's adrenal system malfunctions due to releasing too much or too little adrenal hormones.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Gland Disease in Cats and Dogs
Typical symptoms of an adrenal gland disorder are depression, vomiting, hair loss, and weight fluctuations. To help support your pet, we would recommend a holistic aid that will help to restore the immune system and gently stimulate the endocrine system to normalize hormone production. Supraglan is a blend of natural ingredients specially formulated to add immune support and help to restore normal hormone levels. Ingredients like astragalus and licorice help improve energy levels and water levels, borage helps to promote hair growth, and wild yam helps to stimulate adrenal gland function and calm excitability. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver and kidney function. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and has been used for centuries to protect the liver from harmful toxins and encourage regeneration.

You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth.
