The most well-known modern uses of deer antler are often tied to sports performance enhancement, however, this potent tonic should not be overlooked when searching for natural support in the healing of degenerative diseases.

Velvet Deer Antler is also known as ‘Lu Rong’ in Chinese Medicine and has been used for thousands of years as a Yang tonic, either alone or mixed with other herbs. According the Chinese Medicine, Lu Rong primarily affects the Liver and Kidney channels, making it a potent energy tonic as well as an excellent liver protector and hormone modulator. Its properties are Warm, Sweet, and Salty.

Lu Rong supports and tonifies both the Conception Vessel (making it great for reproductive issues), as well as the Governor Vessel (making it a good tonic for fatigue as well as a key herb for treating back pain). In ancient formula texts it is most often mixed with Aconite Root, Ginseng, or Cinnamon to either increase or moderate its warm qualities in the treatment of various diseases.

Velvet Deer Antler refers to the early stage of antler growth, which usually begins in the spring. The antlers will naturally shed in winter if they are not removed, however, it is important to note that in all farmed deer the antlers are always removed for safety reasons regardless if they are used for medicine or not. Antler removal keeps the deer from becoming aggressive, fighting, and hurting or killing each other. Removal is performed under anesthetic.

It is VERY important to not use velvet deer antler that has been harvested using a chemical anesthetic. These are very toxic to the animals. Because the velvet is living tissue, the toxins from the anesthetic will also be found in the harvested deer antler and should not be used for medicine or human or animal consumption. The most humane and safe removal is done by using electrical impulses as a natural anesthetic. No chemicals are used that may harm the animal or end up in the medicinal product.

Much of the supply of deer antler on the market has been harvested by using chemical anesthetics, so it is important to ask the manufacturer how the antler was harvested. A freeze-dried antler is the best as this method preserves the co-factors and full bioavailability that may be damaged with the addition of alcohol or other preservatives.
