Herbology, basically, is the use of Herbs in the treatment of many types of illness. Herein the emphasis of treatment is based strongly on the specific use of herbal roots, flowers and leaves to stimulate the healing process. Keep in mind that these Herbs are not a form of drug(as in man-made forms, such as aspirin) but are strictly natural in content. Practiced for centuries, herbology is probably one of the most primitive and fundamental uses of specific remedies to treat various illnesses, known today.

How, though, does the knowledge of herbal alternatives tie in with owning an animal? Think about it for a moment. What do wild animals, or even your pets, typically do when they are not feeling up to par? Most instinctively seek out appropriate Herbs when they are sick. How many times have you witnessed your dog eating grasses?

Many man-made drugs are simply compounds based upon active principles found in many Herbs. One simple example could be caffeine found in coffee. Herbalists differ from most traditional medicinal methods at this point however. Herbalists believe in the use of the entire substance- not in simply the use of one part. They believe the whole is much greater than the sum of one or more parts.

Basically, Herbs work much slower than traditional medicines(t.m.’s) though they do many things t.m.’s don’t- such as detoxify the body, stimulate movement of the bowels or urination, and add vitamins and minerals to the patients system which are already greatly needed.

Herbal Remedies have also been used to treat animals over the centuries for such illnesses as Arthritis, worms, Diarrhea/constipation, Diabetes, Epilepsy, mange and cataracts, among others. Juliette de Bairacli-Levy is an author who emphasizes the use of Herbs in the treatment of many ailments in connection with pets. She also emphasizes the importance of freshly gathered Herbs, natural diet and fasting.

Probably the biggest drawback to Herbal Therapy would be the amount which must be administered, the very frequent intervals of administration and the extended periods of time over which administration must occur. Additionally, many Herbs do not taste good in their natural state and must be disguised in food. Still, if you are willing to carry out a complete program, administering “medications” at their proper intervals, herbal alternatives are very effective in treating and curing many types of ailments. For more information concerning Herbs and their uses, contact your nearest herbalist or herbal store.
