The signs of a healthy animal are a good healthy coat, vitality, and resistance to disease. These are the signs of proper internal metabolic function.

When dogs and cats are fed enzyme deficient, processed diets, it puts an excess burden on the pancreas and liver. Feeding processed foods day in and day out can create a stagnant condition in the gut. A combination of little exercise so the muscles are no longer strong and supple, and a diet of processed food can shorten your pet's life. The slow movement of food passing through the intestinal tract never challenges or works the muscles of the digestive tract and it slowly atrophies creating illness or a shortened life. Stress is a large factor in the wellness of dogs and cats who don't get enough physical and mental exercise and eat processed diets.

HERBS IN NATUREMIX HERBAL MATRIX

Nettle Leaf: The uses and healing properties of nettles are extensive. It is the formic acid in the nettle with phosphates and trace of iron, which make it such a valuable food. Preparations of the herb have astringent properties (the ability to contract tissue to reduce secretions and discharges) and act as a stimulating tonic. Nettle is an anti-asthmatic. It has been used for centuries to increase milk production in livestock. In Holland and Egypt, it is said that horse dealers mix the seeds of nettles with other food, in order to give the animals a sleek coat.

Heartsease/Wild Pansy: Has been used for its mucilaginous properties (gelatinous constituents), as a demulcent (to soothe and protect irritated or inflamed internal tissue) and an expectorant for loosening excess amounts of mucus from the respiratory system.

Walnut Leaves: The bark and leaves are alterative (herbs that gradually restore the proper function of the body and increase health and vitality, also know as blood cleansers). They have mild laxative, astringent (the ability to reduce secretions and discharges) and detergent properties, and are of the highest value for curing scrofulous diseases, herpes, eczema, etc. and for healing indolent ulcers.

They help relieve constipation and mild gall-bladder problems as well as conditions of the kidney and bladder.

German Chamomile: This herb is an anti-spasmodic, carminative, (to stimulate the peristalsis movement of the digestive system, relax the stomach and help alleviate gas), anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiseptic and vulnerary (externally aids in the healing of wounds and cuts). It will contribute its relaxing actions in cases of anxiety and insomnia. Indigestion and inflammations such as gastritis are often eased with chamomile.

Burdock Root: Used as an alterative, diuretic, diaphoretic (to aid the skin in the elimination of toxins and to promote perspiration) and anti-rheumatic (reduces inflammation of the joints, muscles and tendons). Burdock has been used to treat tumors and is known as one of the best blood purifiers. In all skin diseases, it is a certain remedy and has affected a cure in many cases of eczema, either taken alone or with other remedies.

Horsetail: Acts as an astringent, diuretic and as a vulnerary. Horsetail is an excellent astringent for the genito-urinary system, reducing hemorrhage and healing wounds thanks to the high silica content. While it acts as a mild diuretic, its toning and astringent actions make it invaluable in the treatment of incontinence. It is considered a specific in cases of inflammation or benign enlargement of the prostate gland.

Wild Mediterranean Oregano: There are volumes written on the benefits of this specific type of oregano. This is not the type used to make pizza and only comes from the mountain areas of Greece and Turkey. It is an unrivaled immune system builder and is much stronger than goldenseal or echinacea. Its antiviral properties are used successfully to treat herpes, shingles and warts. As an anti-fungal it will work effectively against infections such as candida, nail fungus and athletes foot. Its antiseptic properties make it one of the very few things that will kill antibiotic resistant bacteria.

St Mary's Thistle fruits aka Milk Thistle: The thistle is known as a great producer of mother's milk. It has been used in Germany for curing jaundice and helps with biliary derangements (obstructions, stones, or infections of the hepatic bile ducts in the gall bladder). It also acts as a demulcent in catarrh (inflammation of the mucous membrane especially of the nose and throat) and pleurisy. As a source of silymarin it is invaluable as an antihepatotoxic (against liver toxins) agent. It is used throughout the world to successfully treat cases of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. It is active against hepatitis B virus and speeds the rejuvenation of the liver.

Grape seed extract: One of the most potent forms of antioxidants known. Effective against oxidative stress.

Linseed/Flaxseed: Effective as a demulcent and laxative. It is also a good source of Omega 3's and essential fatty acids (EFA's). As a pectoral it has a general strengthening and healing effect on the respiratory system.

Algae meal: There are three types of algae in the Matrix formula. The main one being ascophyllum, spirulina and chlorella vulgaris making up the balance of the trio. A description of the three is below.

Ascophyllum nodosum also known as knotted wrack is a brown north Atlantic seaweed/kelp. It is harvested for its content of algin and alginic acid (a polysaccharide). Kelp is a great source of elemental iodine. The nutrient profile is rich in minerals that supply many of the missing minerals in the soil and in your dogs feed.

Spirulina is a blue green micro algae that produces twenty times as much protein as soybeans growing on an equal-sized piece of land. It contains concentrations unlike any other single grain, herb, or plant. Among its valuable components are gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic and arachidonic acids, B-12, iron, a high level of protein (60 to 70%), essential amino acids, the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, chlorophyll and phycocyanin -a blue pigment that is only found in blue green algae. It has increased the survival rate of mice with liver cancer in lab experiments. Spirulina is a naturally digestible food that aids in protecting the immune system, in cholesterol reduction and in mineral absorption.

Chlorella is single celled water grown green algae that contains an abundant amount of readily available chlorophyll. It also contains a protein content of about 58%, some carbohydrates and all of the B vitamins, vitamins C & E, amino acids and rare trace minerals. It is virtually a complete food. It contains more B-12 than liver does plus an abundant amount of beta-carotene. Chlorella is one of the few edible species of water grown algae. The chlorophyll found within will accelerate the cleansing of the bloodstream. Chlorella must be processed first to release the nutrients by cracking the outer shell of the microorganism. This shell consists of non-digestible cellulose, thus the terminology, cracked chlorella.
