This is a detailed guide to medicinal herbs for horses and how they
can help in the treatment of a wide range of common ailments. The
guide provides an A to Z of common ailments - from allergies to
wounds - which can be effectively and safely treated using herbal
medicine. It draws on research in herbal medicine as well as in
traditional plant-based remedies. Throughout, the author underlines
the importance of veterinary consultation, explaining how herbs can
be used to complement conventional methods. To provide background
information, a materia medica lists the properties of 50 readily
obtainable herbs, giving details on habitat, collection, actions
and uses, along with folklore and case histories. The author also
discusses several non-herbal products, such as vinegar and yoghurt.
There are guidelines on how to make herbal preparations, and how to
use herbs in compresses and poultices. Advice is given on how
remedies are selected and dosages determined, bearing in mind that
most herbs take time to bring about a healing reaction. In the
final part of the handbook the author describes a range of
alternative therapies which can be used alongside conventional or
herbal medicine.
