Herbal Remedies For Pets
Our pet’s health can be greatly affected by environmental stressors, pollution, and family stressors, just like we humans. As a result our dogs & cats, gerbils, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and horses can become afflicted with illness, injuries and even depression. Herbal pet remedies can help treat, manage and cure these afflictions with non-toxic, proven, safe, and effective, remedies. Unlike costly prescription medicinal drugs (that often carry side effects), herbal remedies carry no side effects and treat the identified problem immediately and accelerates our pets bodies to heal.
Herbal remedies:
• Are less expensive than prescription (synthetic) drugs
• Do not cause side effects.
• Treats the injury or ailment and doesn’t suppress it, like prescription drugs.
• Are formulated in safe doses and may be taken in conjunction with prescription medication.
Herbal remedies are what your pet would choose if it was not domesticated. Animals have instincts. Have you ever watched your dog eat grass because it has an upset stomach? We chalk that up to instinct. Yet, they did not choose to go and sit in front of the medicine cabinet pining over a man-made synthetic drug.
Animals have instinctively known how to care for their bodies since the start of time. In the late 1800’s, the homeopathic founder by the name of Hahnemann discovered that when a goat or sheep fell down the hillside and became hurt, it nibbled on the leaves of a particular plant and became healed. Now known as Arnica, it is undoubtedly one of the most effective homeopathic remedies to cure and heal injuries in both humans and animals.
Herbal remedies for pets are prepared through homeopathy or through herbalism. Homeopathy has been in existence in America since 1832 and is a scientific practice. Homeopathic remedies are made from animal, vegetable and mineral substances and when administered offer no health risks or side affects. Homeopathy can be used with pregnant women, infants, humans and of course with our animals.
Herbalism uses herbs to concoct poultices, teas and other remedies. Herbalism is not scientific and requires caution in preparing and using multiple herbs with care to not overdose. When purchasing it is essential that the herbal remedies that you buy are safely formulated and approved for effective herbal relief. Look for herbs specifically formulated in FDA-registered facilities.
Just like people, pets have varying personalities that at times can be challenging. In addition to ailments and injuries herbal remedies can be essential in treating mental health in your pets.
Have you a dog that barely moved or became unusually aggressive after a new family member was introduced? Or perhaps a cat that didn’t come out of the closet after you moved? Aggression, Anxiety, and Mental Health are three behaviors that are effectively treated with natural and herbal remedies.
