Wood Betony for Pets

Herbs For Pets 3 min read

Meet the herb called good for everything: wood betony! This purple-flowered beauty has been supporting human wellness for quite literally centuries, sought after as a multi-use marvel. In fact, there used to be an old saying that went, “sell your coat and buy betony!” But what about wood betony for pets?

It’s got just as many uses. This includes anxiety, muscle tightness, circulation, discomfort, and more. Here at NHV, we love it as a way to support our fur kids’ heart health.

What is Wood Betony?

Wood betony is easy to its rich purple flowers, which bloom in the summer. It grows across Europe and Northern Africa, but it is used worldwide.

Wood Betony was once a legendary cure-all, famously praised by the ancient Romans as a plant more highly esteemed than any other. For centuries, it was grown in monastery gardens, where monks relied on it to soothe everything from discomfort to anxiety. Today, this herb is still used in traditional wellness practices.

Even veterinarians use it in their offices because of its potential to regulate inflammation, its antioxidants, and its benefits for the heart.

Benefits of Wood Betony for Pets

Wood betony has been used to treat many conditions. Historically, it’s been used as a digestive tonic, to improve wound healing, headache, discomfort, and promote overall vitality.

However, Wood betony lives up to its historical hype, as modern science has begun to explore this herb’s wellness properties.

Research on wood betony has found it to be “a promising source of bioactive compounds,” including “strong antioxidant activity.” Antioxidants are nutrients that can be used by the body to help protect against DNA damage. Dietary antioxidants like those obtained from supplements can play a beneficial role.

Notably, they observe that “Phenylethanoid glycosides” are some of the main antioxidants found within wood betony. Glycosides may help balance high blood pressure – an important factor in pet cardiovascular health.

Other studies draw attention to its anti-inflammatory properties, which may help regulate the body’s inflammation response to encourage healthy healing.

Using Wood Betony as a Supplement

Wood betony is not toxic to pets. However, never use supplements meant for humans on pets. For your peace of mind, NHV Hearty-Heart contains wood betony in a vet-approved amount. Wood betony, and all ingredients in our formulas, are human-grade for your peace of mind.

How does it work in the formula? We use wood betony in our NHV Hearty-Heart because of its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and overall heart wellness properties. It works alongside eight other herbs to help support pets with heart conditions such as murmurs, poor blood flow, and Congestive Heart Failure, all while encouraging long-term heart wellness. For comprehensive and targeted support, you can find it in several NHV kits, such as the NHV Heart Murmur Support Kit or the NHV Pet Cardiomyopathy Support Kit.

Like all NHV formulas, Hearty-Heart is vet-approved, 100% natural, and made in Canada in a GMP-certified facility, so your pet gets the best.

Remember, the dosage and quality of the herbal ingredient 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.
