Surgery and synthetic drugs may be necessary in
acute or emergency situations, but can do little to
relieve chronic conditions, such as asthma,
allergies or recurring skin conditions. One reason
for this is that conventional medicine is usually
limited to addressing symptoms and not the
underlying cause. However, the use of herbal
therapies can often improve or even reverse a
condition by doing exactly what conventional
treatments cannot—identify and treat the root cause.
Herbal medicines for pets offer more advantages over
conventional therapies, including:
- Fewer harmful side effects
- Cost effectiveness
- Easier to dispense
- Less adverse reactions
- Greater efficacy over time
Will
Herbal Medicine Help my Pet or Animal?
There is no sure bet that herbal medicine will
help every animal but, for the most part, herbs are
generally well tolerated by most pets and effective
for many different conditions and pose less risk
than many pharmaceutical drugs. However, consistency
is the name of the game when it comes to herbal
medicine. Over time, herbal medicine can be much
more efficient at treating the root cause of an
ailment than a synthetic drug designed to merely
block the symptoms.
Herbal medicine has been used to successfully
treat many common irritations and conditions that
conventional medicine considers incurable, such as:
- Flea dermatitis
- Chronic urinary infections
- Arthritis
