How homeopathy supports your animal’s health naturally
Homeopathy is a time-tested method of supporting animal health naturally. By using diluted natural substances, it works in harmony with your animal's own healing processes, providing safe and effective care without the use of harsh chemicals.
What is homeopathy and how can it help animals?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that's been used effectively for over 200 years. It was first discovered in 1790 by the German physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann, who became dissatisfied with the harsh treatments used in conventional medicine. He found that many patients became sicker rather than better, which led him to develop the homeopathic approach.
Homeopathy and your animal's natural healing process
Homeopathy taps into your animal's natural healing processes, supporting the overall healing process with homeopathy. When an animal is unwell, homeopathic remedies encourage the body to find balance and restore health instead of just relieving the symptoms. The remedies are made through a process of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking), which removes any toxic elements while enhancing the healing properties. This process creates potent yet safe remedies that can effectively support the health of your pets, livestock, or performance animals.
Remedies come in different potencies, ranging from low potency, such as 6c, to higher ones, such as 10m. The potency chosen depends on the condition being treated and the individual animal’s needs.
For example, the onion, which produces tears in the eyes and irritation (similar to a cold), can be used as a homeopathic remedy to assist colds that have irritating tears. Similarly, bee venom, which causes swelling, heat, and redness, can be used as a homeopathic remedy to support animals experiencing allergic reactions or stings with similar symptoms.
Examples of homeopathic remedies for animals
