Kan Essentials, adapted by Steve Marsden, DVM, LAc, are classical formulas that display the genius, adaptability and resilience typical of the Chinese Herbology that has so astounded the Western world.
A major impediment to the use of herbs in veterinary practice is a lack of familiarity with products and a lack of confidence. Dr. Marsden has addressed both problems by providing thoroughly tested formulations and instructions on how and when to use the formulas.
With these formulations and expertise, any veterinarian, regardless of their training in Chinese Herbology, will begin to experience success. |
