What do I do?

I help people whose pets have health issues that aren’t responding to conventional treatment. I work with herbal medicine and nutrition.

What is herbal medicine?

It’s the therapeutic and medicinal use of plants to address the causes of illness, as well as allieviating the symptoms. It integrates science, botany, chemistry, physiology, and the accumulated wisdom of traditional knowledge from around the world. Birds, insects, and mammals naturally use plants as medicine.

What can herbalism do for your pet?

It offers natural, effective remedies for common issues like allergies, digestive problems, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and so on. It can be a valuable adjunct to veterinary care, aiding in recovery from surgery or traumatic injury, alleviating side effects from medication, or improving quality of life for elderly or chronically ill animals. It’s also a viable alternative if your pet’s condition isn’t responding to conventional medicine.

What should you expect?

First, an initial consultation takes into account everything that’s relevant to your pet’s health, personality, and circumstances. Next, specific herbal remedies, nutrition, and sometimes certain changes in routine are recommended. Shorter follow-up appointments at intervals of about two months are usually suggested to check in on progress and make adjustments as needed.

Which pets can take herbal medicine?

House pets, farm animals, even wildlife – all animals can take herbal medicine in some form or another. If pregnant or lactating, they should do so under close veterinary supervision.
