🌿 Recovery & Comfort Support Forage Mix
Forage Tray, 3 Cups, 120G
A carefully balanced botanical forage designed to support animals during periods of recovery, stress, illness, or rest. This blend focuses on calm, digestion, immune support and gentle whole-body care — making it especially suitable for older animals or those needing a little extra support.
Created as a safe, year-round alternative to stronger or seasonal comfort mixes, this forage offers quiet support without overstimulation. Every ingredient has been chosen for its softness, digestibility and traditional use in supporting the body during times of healing.
This is not a treat mix or a daily green overload — it is a supportive forage, intended to work alongside a balanced diet when animals are feeling vulnerable.

🌿 Why This Mix Works
Dandelion leaf supports digestion, liver function and gentle detox pathways, which can be particularly beneficial after medication, stress or illness.
Dead nettle provides mineral and antioxidant support and is naturally anti-inflammatory, making it a reliable and gentle ingredient for long-term wellbeing.
Sow thistle is a soft, palatable forage that encourages appetite and supports gut motility, especially helpful for frail, elderly or recovering animals.
Raspberry leaf is traditionally used to support tissue tone and recovery and adds gentle calming support without being sedating.
Chamomile helps promote relaxation, digestive comfort and emotional calm, encouraging rest and settling during stressful periods.
Echinacea is included at a low level to support the immune system during times of illness or recovery, without overstimulating sensitive animals.
