Homeopathy for Horses

Homeopathy is a natural health modality that has been popular for humans since the 1800’s. In fact, it is an integral part of many health care systems around the world including India and many parts of Europe. In this blog, I am going to share with you the benefits of using homeopathy for horses. Lets take a look at why they are safe and effective options to include in your horses natural health program.

What is homeopathy?

Homeopathic remedies are substances that are made from plants, animals, and minerals that have been diluted to the point where there are no active molecules left in the solution. Consequently, their actions on horses very different from that of medications or even nutritional supplements and herbs. Instead of altering, changing or influencing your horse’s molecules and chemical pathways, homeopathy sends information to the cells through vibration.

How does homeopathy work

Every organism, plant and chemical on earth has an energy and frequency associated with it and frequency carries information. Thus, serial dilutions of these substances can communicate with your horse’s cells and tissues through vibration. The frequency of each remedy carries specific instructions to the body based on the essence or unique properties of the diluted substance. This is how homeopathy is able to stimulate a very specific biochemical or immune response.

Using homeopathy for horses

Vibrational or energetic medicine is one of the best ways to help your horses because horses operate at a higher frequency. This is because they have large energy fields which they use to naturally communicate with their herd – both horses and humans – to send and receive information. This innate characteristic defines their state-of-being. And it is also what makes them extremely responsive to homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies work with the horse’s natural chemistry instead of forcing an unnatural biochemical change like medications do.
