Ayurvedic herbs, used in India for over 5,000 years, help restore balance in the body. A brief discussion of Ayurvedic pet herbs follows including an alphabetized list for numerous pet problems.
Indian herbs, like most herbs, are safer than pharmaceuticals. They also work on more than one issue at a time, often strengthening various organs & systems at once.
Despite the good safety record of Ayurvedic herbal pet remedies, it’s still advisable to consult a trained herbalist to avoid potential problems.
Note that herbs can have different effects on different pets. Also, combining herbs may have effects that are unpredictable.
It would be wise to start using Ayurvedic herbal remedies at the lowest possible dosage & gradually build up dose as needed.
It’s also important to understand that Indian herbs, like most herbs, may take longer to work than potent drugs do. Be patient.
Finally, using professionally prepared herbal formulations for pets may take the worry away from using herbs for your animal friends.
