New Herbal Essences for Horses, Dogs and Cats Make Dosing Easy
 Furl It |
Anima Herbal Solutions’ new herbal essences for horses, dogs, cats, and other animals solve many of the problems of using herbs in animals. Created by Seattle-based holistic veterinarian Dr. Christine King, these unique herbal essences are safe, easy to use, simple to store, economical–and tasty.
Anima Herbal Solutions (www.animavet.com) has launched a unique line of herbal essences for horses, dogs, cats, and other animals. Created by holistic veterinarian Dr. Christine King, these herbal essences are safe, easy to use, simple to store, and economical; and best of all, they taste good.
The herbal essences are made using a proprietary process that begins with pure water-alcohol extractions of organically grown herbs. Each solution is then serially diluted with pure spring water, and the final product is preserved with concentrated saline (salt) solution. Owing to the special dilution process, no alcohol remains in the final product, making these herbal essences safe for use in alcohol-sensitive individuals.
Unlike traditional herbal tinctures, which have a strong alcohol and herb taste, palatability is not a problem with these herbal essences, as they just taste like sea water. That’s great news for cat owners especially, who often have trouble getting herbal products into their pets. Horses and dogs often refuse strong-tasting herbal products, too, so these herbal essences provide horse and dog owners with an easy way of using herbs in their animals.
The salt content is not a problem for individuals on salt-restricted diets or who otherwise are salt sensitive. The dosage needed is very small (just a few drops, even for a large horse), and the essences can be diluted in food or drinking water. They can also be used topically, by dropping the essence directly onto the animal’s skin or coat or by adding a few drops to a spray bottle and spritzing the animal, blankets, bedding, room, or stall.
The herbal essences are supplied in cobalt-blue glass dropper bottles, in 1 oz. and 2 oz. sizes. While it is best to store the bottles away from direct sunlight, they do not need to be refrigerated; they can be stored on the counter for easy use. As the dosage is small (just a few drops), these herbal essences are economical for use even in multi-animal households.
Owing to the unique preparation process, which harnesses both the biochemical and the energetic properties of the plants, these herbal essences support all aspects of the animal: body, mind, and spirit. They can be used for physical issues as well as for mental or emotional problems.
Dr. King uses these herbal essences when treating all sorts of medical problems in horses, dogs, cats, and other animals. “These essences are a wonderful adjunct to other therapies,” says Dr. King, “and the seasonal Meadow Blends are a lovely general system support. I take the spring-summer Meadow Blend daily, and I give it to my dog as well.”
Training challenges, behavioral problems, and relationship issues (e.g. squabbles among individuals in multi-animal households or herds, and horse-rider struggles) also respond well to these herbal essences.
“I have been using the Hawthorn essence for the cats,” wrote one pet owner, “and I just can’t believe the results! It has our cats finally settling into the new house and interacting with us again–after a full year of trying other modalities unsuccessfully. The one who hasn’t sought out interaction with us in a year is sleeping next to the bed, and rushing into the bathroom every time we go in! And he is coming downstairs to sit with me and sing. It is wonderful! Thank you!”
Another client, a veterinarian, wrote: “I have been trying out your herbal essences and having a blast! They are amazing. Just wanted to let you know how much fun I’m having with your new goodies.”
“I have had amazing results with our cats, dogs, and horses,” writes one woman, “and the Raspberry essence is fantastic for my PMS (although they’re not specifically sold for human use). Best of all, they are made with love by a truly gifted healer. How could it get any better!”
