Well i know a few people who use homeopathics (i think thats right word?)/herbal stuff.. My mum always gives me arnica for bruises & echinacea for colds..
When my mare got diagnosed with liver problems, vets said she had no hope but i refused to believe that and i researched about natural remedies.. I gave her milk thistle tablets (used on people aswell) & after a few months her liver was fine& she was back to normal-passed a 5* vetting!
Anyway,its well known that horses self medicate. But vets i know dont even consider natural remedies.
Just wondering if anyone uses homeopathy? Is it a job? (ie. Can you be a horse homeopathist)... Do people believe herbs/roots etc can help medical issues?
