Garlic essential oil (Allium sativum)

​Horses may select Garlic essential oil when presenting with the following symptoms:
  • Abscesses
  • Bacterial & viral infections - particularly respiratory 
  • Conditions that require increased circulation
  • Respiratory inflammatory conditions - COPD/RAO
  • Depressed immunity - increases white blood cells
  • Skin issues - Sweet itch, rain scold, mud fever
  • Worms
​
Garlic essential oil is often selected with Clove creating a synergy that creates a powerful natural antibiotic. Garlic prevents the growth of the bacteria by stopping it from manufacturing proteins and Clove oil deprives the bacteria of it's energy supply. Garlic essential oil chemical structure is different from garlic flakes or powders found in supplements. It also is far more potent and a horse would have to ingest 1 - 2 kilo's of garlic to have the equivalent in 1ml of essential oil!
Garlic dilates capillaries and helps in conditions that benefit from increased blood supply such as Navicular Syndrome. However, if your horse is being given Warfarin (or any other anti-coagulant) there may be contraindications.
Always offer Garlic last when offering antibacterial oils as it's powerful odor can leave the horse temporarily less able to detect medicinal qualities of subsequent plant extracts.

Top Tip !
Keep your bottle of Garlic inside another container to prevent your tack room/home reeking of it.
