The Natural Approach

For acute or sudden onset of symptoms

The selected remedy should be given at the rate of one tablet every hour for up to ten doses, then one tablet every twelve hours for two to three days.

For long-standing or chronic conditions

Give one tablet three times a day for fourteen days and repeat if symptoms recur.

As soon as there is any improvement in the animal's condition the remedy must be reduced or stopped.

If there has been no response after two to three weeks an alternative remedy may be required.

How to give your horse homeopathic tablets

It is preferable to give homeopathic remedies to your horse between feeds. As they are sugar based tablets they can be given by hand or placed in the mouth where they will dissolve. If this method proves difficult, the tablet can be given with a small tit-bit but you should try to handle the remedy as little as possible.

Do NOT feed mint in any form while using homeopathic remedies - it is a very strong herb which may interfere with the action of the remedies.

Selecting the Remedy

For some longstanding or recurrent problems you may find that more than one remedy is identified for use.

When ill, animals like people, suffer not only from the classic symptoms of the disease, but also from other symptoms which are unique to each individual. A homeopathic remedy is selected to match the individual's response to an illness. This is why two animals suffering from the same problem may require different remedies.

It is helpful if the owner can note the various symptoms and characteristics the animal displays, so that the most appropriate remedy may be identified for use from the information provided.

How to store homeopathic remedies

The tablets should remain in the bottle in which they were supplied. The container should be kept in a dry place away from sunlight and strong smells.

Homeopathic remedies should be supplied in an inert substance such as glass bottles or phials as other mediums can mar the efficacy of the remedy.
