As only Ohm can do, we created K-9 Bruise Topical Mineral blend using our Minerals as Medicine approach to treating a bruise or injury urging the body to mend itself from within. Bruise targets nutrients and functions to rapidly dissipate pain, swelling from a bruise or injury while promoting tissue healing.

Practitioners believe the Spleen rules the flesh, nourishing and healing, inclusive of the muscles of the body, "we can place this idea within the context of the other major systems of the body: the epithelial tissue: the muscular system: the connective tissues, including the skeleton and adipose tissue: and the nervous system" (Classical Chinese Medicine; Lithong, Fruehauf pg.439)

We crafted Bruise with minerals known to stimulate the Spleen and enliven the life force targeting healing of injured tissues. Our first choice, two minerals containing copper to unblock and stimulate energetic movement 

• Azurite; Increases circulation of blood, works on nerve damage supporting the myelin sheath, and mends bone fractures
• Malachite; Addresses acute conditions, stimulates nerves and rebuilds to repair tissue, works with Tiger Eye to stimulate the Spleen

Integral to the blend is the next step in formulation using three minerals less known in injury care but critical for Bruise to supply spleen strength

• Tigers Eye; A key mineral for Spleen strength and function, reconstitutes muscle and breaks up stagnation
• Fluorite; Known to reduce inflammation, stimulate regeneration, and have positive effects on the nervous system 
• Stilbite; An unsung hero, used by ancients in poultices for injuries, torn ligaments, and tendons

As with most of our blends we’ve added a couple of minerals to weave the formula together, delicately nourishing the body while caring for an injury 

• Amethyst; Tonifies the Spleen, nourishes the Liver Blood to ease bruising (Franks pg.144)
• Amber; Stimulates vitality, rebalancing, and self-healing; promotes tissue regeneration and rejuvenation and thought to alleviate pain

The K-9 Medicine Chest Bruise should be in every K-9 Medicine Chest. Use immediately for any type of injury, bruise, sprain, ligaments, and tendons, or fall. Rub gently through the fur into the skin onto any closed wound injury. After the first application, pain and swelling will be reduced. Bruise can be used on an old injury for a short period of time. Bruise is great for everyday calamities and active K-9 accidental injuries.

Instructions

• Use 1/2 scoop on injured joint
• 1 or 2 x a day
• Rub through the fur into the skin
• Do not exceed 2 weeks of usage per event

Our K-9 clients like to pick their healing minerals they need each day. K-9's have instincts as to what their bodies need and when. If you allow them to press their muzzle to bottle, they are not sniffing the bottle, they are feeling the vibrations of the minerals. After they decide if it is right for them or not, they will lick or bite as at the bottle as "Yes!" or walk away as "No!". It is amazing to watch.
