Our custom herbal
solutions are blended specifically for us by Honeyvale Herbs. Registered blends are provided by Honeyvale Herbs and The Herbal Pet. When
feeding herbs in order to maintain general health consistently over an
extended period of time, then a good rule of feeding herbs, in order to
maintain optimum efficacy, is two months on and two weeks off. It is
good to give the body rest from constant supplementation as, unlike
allopathic medicine, herbs stay in the body over a longer period of
time, so an occasional break makes the body less dependant on them and
increases the benefits of long-term supplementation. But if you are
feeding herbs for healing or calming purposes then it is most effective
to feed the herbs on a daily basis throughout one full blood cycle,
which is 3 months (12 weeks). The condition should be vastly improved
over this time to the point where further supplementation should no
longer be necessary.
Herbs as a rule should not be fed to pregnant animals, as many of
them have uterine or hormonal stimulant properties. Before feeding a
herb to a broodmare or foal, please consult with a vet or holistic
animal practitioner to substantiate safety of a specific herb. The
information provided by us on this site is intended solely for animals older
than six months of age.
