Pets
Our
Basic 36 kit is great for humans, but did you know that the
homeopathic medicines in it are also ideal for treating many
injuries and common ailments that your pets may suffer?
If you have pets why not get our pet pack and find out how
to help them too?
Homeopathy
is a powerful and gentle healing modality for pets, and is
often more effective than allopathic medicines. To obtain
the best results, all aspects of the pet - mental, physical
and emotional - must be considered before prescribing a remedy.
Homeopathy
is used to induce a curative healing in animals as opposed
to giving medications that only address specific physical
symptoms.
For example, a pet is given steroids to suppress symptoms
such as inflammation or itching, but the symptoms return when
the drugs are discontinued.
With homeopathy, the symptoms completely subside because homeopathic
remedies act to have a curative action from deep in the life
force.
Homeopathy is effective for all pets including dogs, cats,
birds, ferrets, cows and horses. You can even treat fish by
dropping homeopathic remedies into their tanks.
Here are some examples of how homeopathy can be used
to treat your pet. You
should keep several remedies on hand and administer them as
needed at home (all in the Basic
36 Kit):
•
Arnica for traumas and overexertion
• Carbo vegetabilis for weakness or shock after surgery
• Ledum for insect bites or stings
• Nux vomica for vomiting and diarrhea or poisoning
• Hypericum for animals who have had tooth extractions
Rescue Remedy is useful as well, for sudden stress, trauma,
panic or disorientation.
Dosage and
Application:
There are two important laws that you need to follow to use
Homoeopathic medicines successfully:
THE LAW OF SIMILARS means matching the symptom
picture of an illness or injury to the symptom picture of
the medicine.
To help you do just that, this guide has two distinct sections.
Complaints you can treat are described first, followed by
a Mini Materia Medica. This describes, briefly, the symptom
picture of 36 frequently-needed remedies. Begin by looking
up the complaint you want to treat and noting which remedies
may help. Next, before prescribing, turn to the Mini Materia
Medica and see which description most closely fits the person
you are treating.
If you have given two or three doses of a particular remedy
without any reaction, it was probably the wrong choice. It
won't have done any harm, but you should try to find a remedy
that matches the over-all picture better.
THE LAW OF THE MINIMUM DOSE means using as
little of a medicine as possible to stimulate the body's own
healing mechanism.
Give one dose (in this case one small pill) and wait to see
what relief it brings. If you have a reaction to the remedy
(either an improvement or an aggravation of symptoms) do not
take any more medicine. Only repeat the dose if the symptoms
stop improving before a full recovery is reached or if the
same symptoms return (i.e. the case relapses). If the symptoms
change significantly select a new remedy to fit the new picture.
If in any doubt, wait. Giving the body more medicine than
it needs will not improve or speed up the action of the medicine,
if anything it may stop the medicine from being effective.
By using these two laws homoeopathy provides a completely
individual prescription and dosage that treats each person's
"dis-ease" as unique to them.
Pillules can be given orally, added to water or diluted in
milk. Rescue Remedy can be squirted into the corner of your
pet's mouth or rubbed into an ear.
