Product Description

Synopsis

This is a detailed guide to medicinal herbs for horses and how they can help in the treatment of a wide range of common ailments. The guide provides an A to Z of common ailments - from allergies to wounds - which can be effectively and safely treated using herbal medicine. It draws on research in herbal medicine as well as in traditional plant-based remedies. Throughout, the author underlines the importance of veterinary consultation, explaining how herbs can be used to complement conventional methods. To provide background information, a materia medica lists the properties of 50 readily obtainable herbs, giving details on habitat, collection, actions and uses, along with folklore and case histories. The author also discusses several non-herbal products, such as vinegar and yoghurt. There are guidelines on how to make herbal preparations, and how to use herbs in compresses and poultices. Advice is given on how remedies are selected and dosages determined, bearing in mind that most herbs take time to bring about a healing reaction. In the final part of the handbook the author describes a range of alternative therapies which can be used alongside conventional or herbal medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best horse herbal written to date, 25 May 2000

By A Customer

Hilary Page Self has filled a very important gap in the horse care market. She explains very clearly and without too much pre-amble the different herbs that can help in all sorts of common equine complaints. Each herbal review is divided into convenient sections such as history, useage,dosing etc so that information is easy to find. This is not a canky vague guide to herbs but an essential reference that every horse owner should at least read if not own and it would also be of tremendous interest to vets. Hilary has excelled herself with the writing of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect herbs for horses reference book, 13 Jun 2007

By	Robin Andrews (France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Modern Horse Herbal (Paperback)

A Modern Horse Herbal is the book that I consult most when I have any medical problem with my horses. It is split into two main parts: herbs listed alphabetically detailing when and where to find them and what they can be used for, and which herbs to use for common ailments. Hilary also refers to other alternative therapies such as bach flower remedies, homoeopathy and aromatherapy where appropriate. Very clearly written with interesting case studies, it's the perfect reference book for giving herbs to horses. The book isn't a guide to identifying herbs and other than a few small drawings there are no illustrations.
