More than 200 years ago, Samuel Hahnemann, a physician and researcher, discovered the world of homeopathy while translating medical texts.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which stimulates and strengthens the body's own natural healing capacity and is based on the Law of Similars,
'that which can cause a disease can also cure it."
Homeopathic remedies are comprised of natural substances such as plants, herbs, minerals and due to their effectiveness, low cost, lack of side effects and most importantly, their safety, they are becoming the treatment of choice throughout the world.

Homeopathics used for the Body Physical Support where the Flower Essences are for the Emotional Support

In the early 1930's the noted British physician Dr. Edward Bach discovered that patient stress, if left unresolved, inevitably leads to physical disorder.

Determined to avoid the use of harmful medications, Bach searched for and found a safe, gentle and effective way to relieve stress.

Rescue Remedy helps produce positive, calming, stabilizing effects in a wide range of stressful situations.

Great for People and Animals.

Advantages of Homeopathy in First Aid

Homeopathic treatment is completely safe and produces no side effects
The remedy will not mask symptoms, as do analgesics like Bute
Homeopathic remedies are very easy to give to your horse
Homeopathy stimulates and strengthens animal's immune system
Homeopathy is inexpensive

Disadvantages

If the correct remedy is not given usually there is no action
As the action of the remedies is specific you might have to try more than one before finding the correct substance that will help the horse
Sometimes homeopathic treatment is more subtle or slower than that of conventional medicines although the response can be rapid and favorable in many conditions.
DISCLAIMER: We make no medicinal claims for any of the homeopathic remedies. The information on this site is for educational purposes and does not replace veterinary advice or treatment.

Please consult with your veterinarian when giving your horse any remedies.

SAFETY COMES FIRST -- Always call your veterinarian if something serious happens to your horse or if you detect that the horse is ill.
The homeopathic remedies in the Horseopathic Kit can be used as a first aid measure.
After your veterinarian examines the horse and makes a diagnosis and suggests appropriate treatment you can discuss augmenting the treatment with homeopathic care.
You might also consider consulting a trained professional homeopath. We can refer you to the one we use.

Determining the Remedy

Carefully observe the condition of your horse.
Make a list of your observations and compare the horse’s symptoms with the description of the remedy.
Pay attention to the “modalities.” In homeopathy, a modality is something that either makes the condition of the animal better or worse.

For example, one horse with indigestion might feel better with your company (Arsenicum album) and another might be irritable and want to be left alone (Nux vomica).
The detailed description will indicate which conditions might respond favorable to each remedy.

How to administer: There are many ways to administer the remedy to your horse.

The remedy can be placed inside the lips on the side of the cheek pouch or into the space between the lower lip and the gums. The remedy does not need to be swallowed by the horse—it only needs to make contact with the wet mucous membranes. This can be easy in some horses and very difficult in others.

The number of pellets per dose is not as important—only that some pellets of the remedy make good contact with the wet mucous membranes of the horse.
Just use 2 to 4 pellets in the 30C potency (larger pellets); 5 to 8 pellets in the 200C potency would be an adequate dose. To increase the action of the remedy,
administer it more often.
In acute conditions you might give the remedy as often as once every 5 or 15 minutes.

Dissolving the remedy in spring or distilled water:
You can dissolve a few (5-8) small pills in a small container of distilled water or place the remedy inside a plastic container of bottled distilled water and then dump the fluid into the side of the horse's mouth. You can also use a syringe or an eye dropper. If a horse is highly agitated and cannot be still, you can dip your fingers and actually flick the fluid at the horse. Any water that gets into the mouth, nose or eyes will dose the horse. Another option that might be better if you have the time is to place the dissolved remedy in a clean spray container and spray the face of the horse. After this initial dose the horse will often be far calmer by the time another dose is due.

Another option is to take the remedy dissolved in water and pour this on a sugar cube and offer it to the horse.

Do not re-use remedy that has fallen on the floor and never replace remedy back into the original bottle as this might contaminate the whole batch.

Give the remedy separate from meals (at least 1/2 hour before or after a meal) if at all possible.

Do not feed any mints, or herbs in the mint family, to your horse while giving the remedies, as this could interfere with their effect.
Some liniments containing eucalyptus, camphor and menthol can also interfere with the remedy so avoid their use when treating with homeopathy.
Don't put any peppermint into the water containers. Mint is contraindicated with Homeopathy.

One remedy at a time:
it is recommended that you give only one remedy at a time. This is a fundamental principal of homeopathy, as you are trying to match the remedy with the symptom picture of the animal. Wait for this one remedy to work, and if you wish to use another, discontinue the use of the first remedy.

How do I store the remedies?
Keep the remedies in a dark, cool, dry place such as a cupboard or drawer. When you open the bottle be aware that the remedy can become neutralized by strong odors such as horse liniments, camphor-containing substances such as Ben-Gay or Tigerbalm, perfumes, cigarette smoke, etc.

Again, If you spill any pills from the bottle, do not put them back into the bottle or you might contaminate the entire remedy.
The remedies might also be neutralized and spoiled by contact with strong electromagnetic fields.
It’s a good idea to not place the remedies near computers, microwaves, televisions, radios, electrical circuit boxes.
The remedies should not be refrigerated and should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat—(high temperatures of over 120°F).
Do not store the remedies in your car in the summer as the temperature inside your vehicle can exceed 120 degrees.
Stored appropriately, the remedies should last indefinitely.

Observing the response to the remedy

How can I tell if the remedy is working?
Observe the symptoms of the horse. Are the symptoms less strong, are they recurring with less frequency?
Even a small improvement shows that the remedy is beginning to stimulate healing in the horse.

Also observe the general condition and behavior of the horse;

Is the horse more relaxed, showing a softer look in the eye, less agitated, less restless or less fearful? This would indicate a positive response.

Other positive signs include:
Better overall energy, less irritability, a calm and even respiratory rate, a return to normal temperature and cessation of sweating.

Other positive indicators are; healing of wounds, decreased inflammation and heat, a return of normal appetite, appropriate thirst and drinking patterns.

A return of normal bowel and urinary function, a healthier appearance of the skin and coat, brightness in the eyes, all indicate that the remedy is working.

How often is the remedy given?

In acute situations, a dose can be given frequently, from every five minutes in extreme emergency situations to every half hour in strong acute situations.
Wait for results: if the symptoms disappear, discontinue the remedy.
The remedy has acted and now the immune system of the animal is taking over.
If the symptoms return, administer another dose. If no effect has been seen after 3-4 doses, a different remedy is needed.

For a chronic situation, the dose will be given less frequently, and it may take some a considerable amount of time—from weeks to months—to observe the effects of the remedy, depending on the situation.
Again, chronic cases usually require expert homeopathic guidance for best results, and please continue to consult your licensed vet.

How long should I dose with the remedy?

If there is general improvement, you can usually stop giving the remedy.
If you are working toward an effect, such as the normalization of the skin in a horse with “scratches” you can continue to give the remedy with decreasing frequency until the condition stabilizes—not getting better or worse.
This is the plateau stage and usually it is best to discontinue the remedy and wait.
At this point the immune system of the animal will be taking over and more improvement can be expected.
In homeopathic practice “Waiting” is a golden rule—do not repeat the remedy until, if and when, the symptoms begin to return.

If there is no response to the remedy in an emergency situation, give up to 4 doses over an hour and then, if needed, try a different remedy.

If there is no change in an acute but ongoing non-emergency situation, give the well-chosen remedy for a week to allow enough time for the animal to respond to the remedy.
If the condition, such as a skin disorder, has been there for a long time it will certainly take a while to notice improvement.
Be very observant and look for other positive changes in the horse that might indicate a good response but might not be directly related to the condition you are treating.

If the animal appears worse: If there appears to be an adverse reaction or 'aggravation' (a worsening of an existing symptom), stop giving the remedy and wait some time. Either the animal will begin to improve or, if the remedy is not a good match, the underlying condition might still be ongoing.

Homeopathic remedies stimulate a deep and prolonged response by the body, and time must be allowed for the body to complete its response.
In many cases, before there is a positive response to an acute condition there might be a lag time as the immune system of the horse is becoming activated.

Always stop giving the homeopathic remedy when there is improvement that is sustained.
Do not repeat the remedy until the symptoms begin to emerge again.
This allows a balancing of the organism and the return of appropriate immune response.
The homeopathic remedy is not like a drug that has to be present in order for the effect to be evident.
Example: It is more like “jump starting” the immune response: after the “engine” is running, the system will re-charge itself and become self-sustaining.
The body's VITAL FORCE will take over.

This is the goal of homeopathic treatment.
