I can tell Late Summer is here by the state of my hat (sweat-stained and a bit battered!) and the outbreak of Damp Heat. I don't just mean we are hot and sweaty, I am referring to the Chinese internal climate of Damp Heat, which leads to fungal infections, digestive problems and some types of itchy skin.
This month the case study is on Imelena, a fifteen year old quarter horse/paint mare, who had suffered from itchy skin since she was three years old.
It took a full year and different combinations of oils, plus removing heating foods from her diet, but now Mel is out with the herd even at the height of summer’s flies, heat and humidity without itching at all.
