Plum Flowers Brand Classic Teapills are concentrated from teas prepared according to classic Chinese recipes.  Traditional ingredients are meticulously blended and cooked as a soup, allowing the herbs to enhance and balance one another.

The pills are then distilled using a low-temperature extraction process that preserves the formula's vital essence.  They are manufactured in one of the few internationally certified GMP-clean factories in China and are free of dyes, pharmaceuticals, preservatives or sugars.

As the Classic Teapills are distilled from teas and not pressed from raw herbs, they contain no loose fibers and are a uniform color and texture.  Grind one and drop it in hot water - it will dissolve into a tea.  If you have cooked this formula before, you will recognize its flavor and aroma.

A few things to keep in mind when using herbal remedies:

• Herbs take time to build in the system, so do not expect immediate results.  It can take from several days up to a week or more to know if the herbal remedy is effective depending upon the severity of the issue being treated and the overall vitality of the animal.
  More frequent dosage – say 3 times per day, is typically more effective than a large dose once per day.  The herbs need to remain and build in the animal’s system.
• Suggested dosages may need to be adjusted depending on the individual’s response.  If vomiting, diarrhea or other signs of intolerance occur; a remedy should be stopped for two days, and then ½ the original dose can be administered to see if the lower dose can be tolerated.  If the animal does not respond to the initial dose, a larger dose may be necessary.  A VERY GRADUAL increase to up to 50% above the original dose can be tried to see if results are improved.  This should be done with the guidance of a trained veterinarian or with a good knowledge of the herbs you are using.
• Begin only one remedy or medication of any kind at a time.  Do not add another remedy until you have well established if there is a response or are signs of intolerance from any other remedy being used.  (Unless you are working with a holistic veterinarian familiar with the remedies prescribed).
• Herbs and natural remedies work best on an individual whose system is given the best possible conditions for health and healing including the healthiest and freshest diet possible along with proper nutritional and digestive supplements such as digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids and adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals.
• Check with a knowledgeable veterinarian if your companion is on any conventional medications that herbal remedies could interact with.

Please keep in mind that response to herbal remedies varies by individual. If your pets symptoms worsen or change in any way that concerns you, discontinue use of any supplements and contact your veterinarian.

When introducing any new supplement, it is wise to start with a lower than recommended dose and build up over the course of several days to a week. Only introduce one supplement at a time.
