Why you shouldn't give your animals ice & ice cream to cool them down‼️
When the summer heat hits, you might feel tempted to give your dogs and cats ice or ice cream to help them cool down. However, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sheds light on why this might not be the healthiest choice for your fluffs.
👉 Cold Can Affect Digestive Health
In TCM, the digestive system, known as "Spleen Qi," plays a vital role in overall health. Cold foods can upset this balance, leading to digestive issues like bloating, diarrhoea, and stomach discomfort in your fluffs.
👉 Imbalance in Body's Qi
Maintaining internal balance is a key principle in TCM. Introducing cold items can shock your fluff's system, disrupting their natural Qi flow and potentially weakening their immunity, paving the way for various health concerns.
👉 Alternative Cooling Approaches
Cooling Diet: consider offering a TCM cooling diet comprising foods that naturally cool the body, such as duck, cucumber, watermelon, and select leafy greens in moderation.
Cool Water Access: make sure there is fresh, cool (not cold) water available in every room your fluffs visits to promote hydration. You can also let them go for them to go for a refreshing dip like Bonnie. Just be sure to check there is no blue-green algea in the water source.
Utilise Fans: use fans to keep the air circulating and ensure your fluff remain comfortable, especially in spaces without air conditioning.
Remember, during the summer, it's not just about managing the temperature for your pets; it's about preserving their overall balance and well-being. 🌿💖

Eric’s guardian contacted me for help with his persistent eye discharge. I offered a selection of hydrosols known for supporting eye health: Roman Chamomile, Cornflower, Rose, and Elderflower. Eric clearly chose Rose hydrosol, demonstrating his natural instinct. Even his little friend Dinky enjoyed the soothing benefits of the Rose hydrosol.
