Herbs for Pets, by herbalists and holistic experts Gregory L.
Tilford and Mary L. Wulff, is the bible for all pet owners looking
to enhance their companion animals' lives through natural
therapies. Now in its second revised edition, Herbs for Pets is an
indispensable resource, an exhaustive compendium of medicinal
plants and natural remedies that hosts an illustrated tour through
Western, ayurvedic, and Chinese herbs that grow in North America,
including their holistic applications and contraindications, and
alternative approaches to treating a wide range of ailments.
Remedies in the book are applicable to dogs and cats, as well as
birds, small mammals, and even farm animals.
The book is organized into three chapters, the first is dedicated
to the "Principles and Practices of Herbalism," discussing the many
facets of herbs, concerns about toxicity, basic herbal preparation,
the ethical use of herbs, the connection between herbs and diet,
and using herbs as dietary supplements.
Chapter 2, titled "Materia Medica: An A-Z Guide to Herbs for
Animals," is an exhaustive 150-page section presenting color
photographs and text about the appearance, habitat and range, cycle
and bloom season, parts used, primary medicinal activities,
strongest affinities, common uses, availability, propagation and
harvest, alternatives and adjuncts, and cautions and comments for
65 different herbs (from Alfalfa to Yucca ). The common uses
section is extensive for each herb, discussing the nutrient value,
various qualities, and ways in which the herb is used for specific
treatments.
The third chapter of the book is titled "An Herbal Repertory for
Animals: Ailments and Treatments" and details remedies for the
following: anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral problems; arthritis
and hip dysplasia; cancer; cardiovascular problems; digestive
system problems; ear problems; elderly animal care; endocrine
system and related problems; epilepsy, convulsions, and seizures;
eye problems; first aid, immune system care; mouth and nose
problems; parasite-related problems; pregnancy and lactation; skin
problems; and urinary problems. The authors share over two dozen
herbal remedies for various ailments, from asthma and pneumonia to
constipation and eye cleaner. A glossary of over 200 terms is
included, as are references and a comprehensive index.
