Natural Medicine Can Work Wonders
Just like humans, domesticated animals like dogs and cats are
affected by the health hazards of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition,
stress and unhealthy lifestyles can lead to a variety of illnesses and
conditions that are very similar to those experienced by humans.
These days, emotional and
psychological problems like depression, anxiety, ADHD and
behavioral problems are just as prevalent in pets as they
are in their owners. Similarly, physical ailments such as
diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, cystitis, kidney
and liver disease, skin disorders, obesity, thyroid dysfunction and other
problems are becoming more and more common in domesticated animals.
Many, if not most of these conditions
can be prevented by helping your pets to live a healthier
lifestyle. For pets already suffering from existing conditions, a
combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine can
work wonders!
While it has its place,
conventional medicine for animals and 'modern technology' have
failed our pets in many ways.
According to pet expert and author
CJ Puotinen, most holistic veterinarians and animal health care
professions list annual vaccinations and commercial pet foods as the major
contributory cause in the rising rates of chronic illness in pets today.
Similarly, Juliette de Bairacli
Levy, respected author and renowned animal breeder, points out that
contrary to the belief that mass vaccination and antibiotic use will
contribute to a decrease in disease, the opposite has in fact proved true.
Like their human counterparts, today's pets are becoming more and more
vulnerable to chronic disease and ill health.
This has led many veterinarians to
search for alternatives and to espouse more holistic methods of
keeping our pets healthy.
Do
herbal and homeopathic remedies work on pets?
"In the wild, animals
instinctively seek out healing herbs to help them when they are ill or
undernourished. In fact, Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine,
respected dogs very highly for their ability to seek out and eat medicinal
herbs in the wild. This ability is shared by other animals, including cats.
We are coming to realize that nature often has the answers - but animals
have always known this! Natural medicine can help your pet just as it can
help you. While there is always a place for conventional veterinary
medicine, natural medicine can compliment conventional veterinary care and
in many cases cure your pets just as well - without the side effects and
damage to health that can accompany synthetic drugs and antibiotics. I have
applied the same care and research that have gone into our Native Remedies
range for adults and children to the development of pet-friendly, safe and
effective natural remedies for animals. As always, all remedies are
formulated to the highest therapeutic standards and manufactured under
strict pharmaceutical conditions for your peace of mind and the well being
of your pets. " Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.
"When a veterinary surgeon practices the use
of homeopathic medicine and is asked why he does so, he may give one of
several answers. The simple answer would be that the results are good, an
emphatic answer would be that homeopathic treatment has no unpleasant or
dangerous side effects, while still achieving successful results.
The PetAlive
Homeopathic range has been formulated with this knowledge and is
specifically designed to treat your pet in a holistic and natural manner."
