Western Herbal Medicine

Western Herbal Medicine focuses on restoring the body to a state of wellness by using a combination of herbs (herbal “prescription”), generally given by mixing in your pet’s food. Powders, teas and liquid tinctures may be given.

Herbs can be used for virtually any ailment. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs which often mask the symptoms of disease, herbal medicine aims to bring the body into a state of health and vitality.

Herbs can be used alone or in combination with medications. Sometimes using herbs and drugs together can give a better outcome than if either are used alone (such as in cancer treatment). Herbs can protect from the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs when they are used together. Herbs can also decrease and sometimes even eliminate the need for medications.
