News and Case studies

Freda selects herbs to restore her Liver!

PictureFreda loves her dried herbs!
This is Freda whom Gana is currently fostering from the My Lovely Horse Rescue branch in Cork, Southern Ireland.  She is such a sweet little lady and very lucky to have been found and rescued and is now receiving much needed TLC. However, unfortunately Freda has been diagnosed with severe liver damage which may have been caused by Ragwort. As a four year old she also has the physical development of a two year old due to malnourishment. Throughout the Winter, Freda was averaging 8 dungs in 12 hours. After attending one of our online workshops,  Gana began offering herbs using the Zoopharmacognosy approach. As a result of regular offering Freda is now averaging 4 dungs in 12 hours. Gana’s Vet felt the frequent dunging was a sign of liver damage and that the reduction in the no's of passing of dung is a strong sign that Freda's liver is on the mend. Freda has been selecting various herbs and oils over the last 2 months including the following: Lime essential oil, Neem fixed oil, Wormwood powder, Milk thistle powder, Slippery Elm powder, Marigolds dried herb, Liquorice root powder, Dandelion root dried herb (500g almost daily), Cleavers and Nettles. Nearly all of these extracts are selected to support and rejuvenate the liver. Freda’s selections make perfect sense!
Please remember that aromatherapy oils are not suitable for use in Zoopharmacognosy

Really enjoyed this read. Online casinos have come a long way—not just in terms of game selection but also in how they create a more immersive and secure environment for players. It’s interesting to see how tech keeps pushing the industry forward. Thanks for sharing this perspective!

    Hi! My name is Carly and I head up the Whitethorn Team. I am also a life long lover of Dogs and Horses. When my mare was having regular episodes of Colic I looked around for a solution and found Applied Zoopharmacognosy (also called the self-selection method and free choice botanicals). I was so impressed that I trained in this fascinating effective herbal approach and have gone on now to train others. That was over a decade ago  and I am now part of the Whitethorn Team and work with horses and dogs all over the world to help them restore emotional and physical health. As part of the support we offer, we also supply herbal remedies at our online shop along with providing workshops and one-to-one mentoring (Onsite & Online) on how to work with them.  We truly hope that you enjoy and maybe learn a little from our blog. Carly and the Whitethorn Team, Sligo Ireland

Applied Zoopharmacognosy and offering plant extracts is not a substitute for veterinary care.
Consult your vet if you have any concerns for the welfare of an animal in your care
Always allow an animal to remove itself from an aroma and never put plant extracts in your animals feed
