OUR MAJOR NATURAL THERAPIES
Herbal Medicine
Animals have always taken an active part in their own healing – resting, fasting – seeking out the herbs of the countryside they know through wisdom passed on by their families.
People learnt plant wisdom from observing the animals. Three quarters of the world’s population still rely on herbs for healing and health. We have strayed from this ancient knowledge, now replaced by conventional and convenient pharmacies. This has bought tragedy (Thalidomide) and success (infectious disease control). But there is an element of healing in this approach that is missing – a disempowerment, a lack of personal involvement.
No man-made broth can supplant the healing power of a Nettles, Oatstraw and Alfalfa infusion to restore vital energy. Both animal and humans’ bodies recognize the ancient truth – the ‘whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.
It is said that there is no illness of mankind that does not have its remedy on Gaia.

It is rather ironic that our animals are now the very ones who suffer because they no longer have access to their natural medicines, or their knowledge has been lost in the process of domestication. It is our responsibility to offer it back to our animal friends, not as a manufactured drug but as the olde healing herbal medicine their bodies recognized long ago.
Success Stories – Meet Cosmo
Cosmo was discharged from a veterinary specialist center following a bout of gastroenteritis. An enema had produced pieces of rubber (?) and a further abdominal ultrasound did not reveal any more. He was treated with i.v. fluids, analgesia and anti nausea medication and recommended a Prescription Gastrointestinal diet. Cosmo refused to eat. Cosmo’s diarrhea continued following discharge, with straining and passing frequent small reddish watery stools. Owner was concerned about the health of his gut after days of straining, vomiting and diarrhea. Cosmo was given herbs for his digestion, diarrhea and liver, some Slippery Elm to help soothe and heal the gut lining and a combination of homeopathics.

OUR MAJOR NATURAL THERAPIES
Herbal Medicine
This is the oldest medicine known to both animals and people and has served us well for millennia.
Herbs are preparations of botanical origin. The word “botanical” is used because it refers to ALL plant remedies, which may include seaweeds, lichens, ferns and trees as well as the type of plant more commonly called ‘herbs’.
Extraction of many plant constituents is made using alcohol. Because we do not want alcohol in our animal medicines we use a form of herbal preparation that borrows some of the principles of homeopathy, making these preparations safe, easy to use, palatable and more economic, requiring less raw material from endangered herbs. This form of herbal medicine is known as homeobotanicals.
Combing Ancient Wisdom with New-Age Science
Herbal medicine has its origins in ancient times and is well proven through the centuries, both with people and their animals. Animal doctors were not around so people had to rely on the herbs of the countryside to care for their precious farm animals. Homeopathy had its beginnings with Hippocrates ‘ like cures like’ (-370 BC) but it wasn’t until Hahnemann (1755 AD) developed the system of succussion and dilution that a whole new dimension in healing power was created.
Combine these two powerful mediums and their synergy reaches new heights in providing safe and effective treatment for our animals.

Using herbs as part of the healing process means taking part in the world’s ecological cycle, it offers the opportunity to consciously participate in the living vibrant relationships between man, animal, plant and planet. Plant Medicine is the most ancient of medicines, used by every living being on earth, taught to man by the animals. It is rather ironic that the animals are now the very ones who suffer because they no longer have access to their natural medicines, or their knowledge has been lost in the process of domestication. It is our responsibility to offer it back to our animal friends, not as a manufactured sanitised drug but as the olde healing, restorative herbal medicine applied with new administrative technology.
