Dogs and Herbal Workshops - Canine Zoopharmacognosy

6/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Our next up and coming Online Level 1 Canine Zoopharmacognosy 3 day workshop is on the 11th, 12th and 19th of September. The days are split between theory and practical with Live demonstrations from the Whitethorn Clinic with some interactive offering thrown into the mix. Participants will discover how they can use the 'Offering' and 'Selecting' approach to help their dogs use herbs (dried and powdered), essential oils, floral waters, macerates as well as minerals in order to restore and maintain health. 
How can Herbs help your Dog?
Digestive issues such as diarrhoea and constipation, skin irritations, and hormonal issues plus emotional and physical pain/ trauma have been resolved using this approach. Your dog has an innate ability to self-medicate on plants due to it's superior ability to smell and seek out the medicinal qualities within plants. We have a mere 5 million olfactory receptors whereas a dog can have around 500 - 600million. Your dog's sensory apparatus (mainly taste and smell) will then adjust according to it's medicinal needs. For example, a plant that would normally taste bitter, would become palatable until the correct amount is ingested at which point it would resume it's bitter taste. During the workshop this point is brought home with participants completing their own self-selections with one of the samples in the Learning Pack.
Workshop Learning Pack
The extensive learning pack is sent out to participants prior to the workshop and includes a Herbal Compendium, Extracts for Conditions listings, Record sheets and presentation notes. 
Participants may work with their own case study during the course and avail of guidance from Carly  during this time. Participants will also have access to a private Facebook group for support within the Zoopharmacognosy Community and the members section of the website enabling them to access Extracts for Conditions online.

    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
