Herbal Supplies
Natural Equine Health offers horse owners 100% natural, high quality, human grade herbs. Packed in 1kg sealed bags, our herbal blends and individual herbs contain no additives. The blended herbal formulations are made to last the average sized horse 400-450kg approximately 30 days. Although we offer a large range of broad based herbal blends for a variety of conditions, we also find it of vital importance to remember that like humans, horses are all individuals. It is for this reason that Natural Equine Health offers individual blends for horses which are made especially for each horse's individual needs. It is also important to note that herbs work well in conjunction with veterinary advise as well as training techniques and diet. If in doubt always consult your vet. If you wish to seek advice on diet, as an Equine Nutritionist , Sue can help suggest a diet which best suits your horse. If you require a herb which is not listed, please don't hesitate to email or phone as we can often source high quality herbs at a reasonable price for our customers. We are constantly sourcing new herbs for our formulations, so if you require a herb which is not listed, please don’t hesitate to contact us as we may have this in stock or be able to source this for you at a reasonable price.
The directions on our labels state to soak the herbs in boiling water for approximately 10 minutes. This is often referred to as infusing (like a tea) and allows the herbs to be more effective. Once the herbs have been soaked they can be added to the rest of the feed once daily including the water.
Sue has formulated an endless range of mixes including those for Stringhalt, Cushings disorder and Hoof health. Listed below are the most popular of these.
All broad mix blends are very beneficial, however an individual mix may have a better result depending upon the individual needs of the horse. As a qualified Naturopath Sue is more than happy to formulate an individual blend as well as discuss any dietary needs.
