our Jao's and Formulas
Crane Valley Jao's was launched by Gloria Garland, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. & CH, A licensed acupuncturist and expert Chinese herbalist, with a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, (TCM). Through her work with Chinese medicine, Gloria began to use T.C.M. on her beloved horses. After successful results she expanded her work and created Whole Horse Herbs to share her research and discoveries with friends and clients.
Gloria Garland's introduction to jaos began as a student completing her clinical internship. One of her teachers, a doctor from China, overheard her discussing her work with horses. As she recounts the story, "He asked me if I also worked on race horses, and when I mentioned that I did, his face lit up. He grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote out a formula in pin yin (phonetic Chinese) and with a wink, this serious, no-nonsense doctor handed me what became my first jao formula. He said with a grin: “good for racehorses!”
Much later she later discovered that he was a racing enthusiast and spent weekends at the track. This moment in the clinic began her exploration into the world of da dit jaos and their many variations and uses.

A popular trend in the world of martial arts and herbal medicine is to claim direct heritage of secret formulas or transmission from a grand master, or sifu, in some exotic location. Her herbal knowledge wasn't acquired by anything so mystical or exotic.
