Animals have used herbs for healing long before man first walked the earth. In the wild, sick animals forage plants with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-parasitic properties. Herbs form the core of Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese and Western Herbal medicine. Holistic veterinarians are integrating the herbal tinctures, powders, insect repellents, creams and cleansers featured here with other healing protocols.
