Nourish and Move for Equine Athletes

POA
Size

Designed for use by integrative veterinarians when supporting horses under training and workload demands.

Currently in Australia, certain traditional Chinese herbal blends are only allowed to be dispensed by a registered veterinarian.

As with all Traditional Chinese Herbal blends, the best results are likely to occur when prescribed by an integrative veterinarian who can examine your animal in person. Telehealth consultations however, can be used when access to an appropriate veterinarian is difficult or not possible.

If you would like to access the Integrative Veterinary Products Herbal blends, please book an appointment to access a telehealth (phone or video) appointment with Dr Tanya Meares BVSc.

Before the appointment, you will be asked to submit a form with background information about your animal and their health issues.

The cost of the 15-30 minute telehealth appointment is $80 but you will receive a discount of $40 on your first order of any an herbal blend in the shop (if any are suggested).

How it Works

Nourish & Move™ is formulated according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles commonly used by integrative veterinarians when assessing equine movement, performance, and recovery.

In TCM, horses are considered predominantly Yang animals, reflecting their physiology, temperament, and the physical demands often placed upon them. Integrative veterinary assessment frequently considers how training, heat, exertion, and recovery influence balance over time, particularly in relation to nourishment of tissues and the smooth coordination of movement.

TCM concepts such as the Liver system, Blood nourishment, and the regulation of Qi are often explored when evaluating muscular function, flexibility, and resilience in working horses. These principles help veterinarians understand why some horses may show tightness, reduced elasticity, or slower recovery despite the absence of overt structural injury.

Nourish & Move™ reflects a balanced TCM approach that integrates nourishment with gentle support for movement. It is designed to be prescribed following veterinary assessment, where individual factors such as workload, age, recovery capacity, and overall pattern are considered.

As with all Traditional Chinese herbal blends, appropriate use requires professional evaluation, and Nourish & Move™ is dispensed only as part of a veterinary consultation.
