self medication
Horses and dogs self medicate in the English hedgerows
Sun, 30/05/2010 - 15:40It's May and I'm in England. The sun is shining brightly, the oak trees are out before the ash, which is hopeful (Oak before ash we're in for a splash, Ash before oak we're in for a soak), and the green fields here on my friend Pauhla's organic farm are full of healthy lambs. I am walking down the lane with Doug the Collie, who at 18 months old needs time out from his brother and sister and a little special attention to keep him on the track to being a good citizen.
Essential oils - Nature's gift to horses
Essential Oils – nature’s gift to horses
Essential oils are an effective and gentle answer to many of today’s common equine problems and although not an alternative to proper veterinary care, they can often bring relief where allopathic medicines hold no answer. Chronic skin conditions, allergies, arthritis, Cushing’s Syndrome, stress related conditions and behavioral problems are just a few of the conditions that respond to essential oils.
Essential Oils for Animals
Why Essential Oils?
Essential oils and hydrosols can be used for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs... in fact any animal. These aromatic extracts are an effective and gentle answer to many of today's common health and behaviour problems, often bringing relief where conventional medicine holds no answer. Chronic skin conditions, allergies, arthritis, sarcoids, Cushing's Syndrome, chronic stress and behaviour problems are just a few of the conditions that have responded well to treatment with oils.
