Can anyone suggest some herbs to feed to a laminitic and for general health. Looking for herbs that specifically target anti inflammatory, blood circulation, hoof health and metabolism
Milk thistle is one of the best natural remedies you can give to a metabolic/laminitic horse. It cleanses the liver of toxins which in turn ensures the lymphatic system works efficiently. It will result in less inflammation, oedemas above the eyes or in the sheaths in geldings and swollen mammary glands in mares. You can either buy it in powder or seed form from herbal companies or something like LiverAid from Science Supplements which has the added benefit of the correct amounts of zinc, copper and other trace elements already added.
