Herbal equine

Herbs were our first source of medications many years ago. In ancient Greece for example, willow bark was the source of salicylic acid, the base ingredient of aspirin was used to relieve pain and fever, all over the world a variety of plants including comfrey, cayenne and mint have long been known for their medicinal properties. Even in this age of modern pharmaceuticals, herbs are the basis for many products, while the plants themselves are still valued by many for their therapeutic effects. A herb is basically any plant based product used for culinary, medicinal or cosmetic purposes.In just about any discussion of dietary supplements, however, the term herb refers to plants that contain bioactive compounds, which can have effects on any organism consuming them, or those from which extracts with desirable properties can be derived. The feeding of herbs is becoming increasingly popular with horse owners across the globe. As we become more aware of the benefits of feeding certain herbs, it has become common practice to add dried herbs or herbal tinctures to horse feed as a means to promote health and wellbeing. In the wild, horses naturally graze on a variety of plant species to supplement their diet. As herbivores, they are designed to live on plants and plant materials; both to satisfy nutritional requirements as well as provide medicinal value. Horses are great at self-selecting herbs to satisfy these needs, seeking out certain herbs and plants by instinct Herbs can offer a wide range of support to the horse, from maintaining healthy digestive and immune systems, to helping soothe those prone to nervous or excitable behaviour.
