Ashwagandha root is a valued herb of the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. This is an adaptogenic herb, meaning that it adapts to the horse’s experience and balances the mood.
Vervain is a nervine relaxant and antispasmodic it can assist animals who are tense and sensitive by relaxing the gut, peripheral nerves and muscles, allowing them to perform without “burning up” their energy through anxiety.
Chamomile has the same relaxing properties for animals as it does a human, soothing both the nervous and digestive systems. This is particularly relevant for animals who are of an anxious nature and/or produce loose droppings.
Lemon Balm can help address all states of anxiety. It is especially beneficial to horses that are learning to cope with training, competition and new environments as it has a soothing effect on the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.
Valerian can be a popular choice for helping animals who are stressed. It helps to calm the excitable and over-active mind as well as relaxing muscle spasms. In addition to its proven ability to quiet the central nervous system it can relieve anxiety and excitability without reducing the animals mental faculties or their physical ability to perform.
Hops have always been used to soothe and settle – by calming and toning the nerves in cases of anxiety, insomnia, tension and restlessness. For animals hops effects are valuable when help is needed to re-model old habits and nervous attitudes.
Calendula A gentle lymphatic tonic, Calendula petals are easy to add to your horses feed bucket. Calendula is used in formulas for gastrointestinal issues such as ulcers. Calendula can be combined with other gut-soothing herbs. It also has calmative properties.
