"Cools the Blood" — a powerful Chinese herbal formula for severe, out-of-control itch and autoimmune skin inflammation when Cessorex alone isn't enough.
ImmunoBalm is the reinforcement formula in the Gold Standard Herbs skin lineup. It's designed for cases where the immune system is in overdrive — destructive itch, autoimmune skin disease, severe hot spots, or inflammatory mast cell reactions. Most dogs do best when ImmunoBalm is layered on top of Cessorex rather than used alone.
Best for dogs with:
- Severe, out-of-control itch that won't quit
- Destructive skin inflammation (raw patches, broken skin)
- Autoimmune skin conditions (pemphigus, lupus-related)
- Severe inflammatory response from mast cell tumors or histamine flares
- Hot spots that recur despite topical treatment
- Dogs already on Cessorex who need additional immune-calming support
How to use:
Mix powder into food. Most often layered on top of Cessorex — Cessorex regulates immune function and supports gut/skin circulation, while ImmunoBalm cools the inflammatory fire. Once skin stabilizes, ImmunoBalm can often be reduced or tapered while Cessorex continues for maintenance.
To use, just fold the herbs into your pet's real food diet, mix them with a little butter, or shake them up with broth or water and pour them over top if using canned or kibble.
As a suggested starting dose, give twice daily as follows:
- Up to 15 pounds: 1/8 tsp
- 15 to 40 pounds: 1/4 tsp
- 40 to 70 pounds: 1/2 tsp
- 70 to 110 pounds: 3/4 tsp
- Over 110 pounds: 1 tsp
If benefits are not seen, the dose can be safely doubled.

What practitioners say:
Dr. Steve Marsden DVM positions ImmunoBalm as the second-line addition for skin cases that don't fully resolve with Cessorex and dietary changes alone. Particularly useful for dogs with a strong inflammatory or autoimmune component.
Pairs well with:
-
Cessorex — the foundational pairing (use both)
-
Quercetin — for mast cell tumor cases, as a natural Benadryl alternative
