Sharing a Preventative & Restorative Health Care System for your Animal Friends

Like us, our animal family experiences physical and behavioral changes throughout life. Inflammation, coldness, over-excitement, depression, anxiety, weakness or injury happens. Whether acute or chronic situations, the ancient Chinese Medicine system of the Five Forces of Nature tracks and offers re-balancing solutions to restore healthy well-being. It is a preventative and restorative health system. This video- recorded live class series focuses on each of the Five Forces – Wood (Liver), Fire (Heart), Earth (Stomach), Metal (Lung) and Water (Kidney) – how each plays out in everyday life, and how YOU can help guide your friend back to health.

Each unique class offers helpful information for the animal caregiver: beginner, advanced student or the professional. Combining theory with forty years of clinical experience and humor, these classes are recorded with live audiences and showcase Western, Chinese or Ayervedic herbs, homeopathy, flower essences and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In several, Dr. Schwartz is in conversation with renowned herbalist/author, Matthew Wood.
