Homeopathy Overview

How often? How many?


Use some common/horse sense for each individual account. It is the frequency that you apply that matters, not the amount of tablets you use at any one go (thus less expensive!) Try to remember that higher strengths are most useful for acute situations and lower are for longer term problems. We recommend offering 2 tablets each time in case one gets lost/dropped, they are very tiny to handle. Sometimes it is necessary to offer them in a small titbit if you are all 'fingers and thumbs' at putting it into his bottom lip!

Using homeopathy on your horse


Homeopathy is a means of treating 'like with like.' In very simplistic terms, think of it like giving a flu vac you are actually giving your animal a small amount of the flu virus to allow the immune system to build up a resistance to the disease. With homeopathy, unless being used in prevention to a calculated or known risk, you are using it in response to a specific problem - perfect for the busy horse owner! Unless you are the paranoid sort, when the problem goes away you forget to use the remedy anymore!

There seems to be only one disadvantage to using homeopathy, this being it is not general in its action, but very specific, so therefore to have any effect you do have to make the correct choice of remedy. That said, you can use up to 6 remedies at any one time to 'cover all angles.'

Application


Using the wrong remedy at the strengths specified should not cause any contra-indications for your horse, the worst that can happen is nothing. Generally, if it is the right remedy you will see results fairly quickly, depending of course, what you are using it for. Homeopathy can be used alongside veterinary medications, supplements etc, safely and effectively for all. Try not to let your horse drink coffee, smoke, clean his teeth, or even eat mints (not that he'd do that!) 15 mins either side of application, all which may interfere with the remedy. Try to deliver the tablet direct into the bottom lip, this will melt through the mucous membrane and go fast into the system. Care must be taken not to handle the tablet too much, as it is only coated in the substance required.
