Natural support & insulin resistance explained","description":"Gut health in horses plays a major role in preventing laminitis, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. When the equine gut and microbiome are out of balance, horses are at higher risk of inflammation, weight gain, digestive upset, toxin overload and metabolic dysfunction. In this video, we explore how improving gut function naturally can support safer blood sugar levels, better insulin response, healthier weight and stronger hooves.\n\nFor horses prone to laminitis, EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome), PPID (Cushing\u2019s) or chronic inflammation, nutrition and herbal support can make a powerful difference. Cath explains what to feed, how to manage sugar intake, and which natural herbs can help detox the gut, support the liver, reduce inflammation and encourage a balanced microbiome. Herbs work gradually, improving cellular communication, digestion, circulation, hoof quality and metabolic stability over time.\n\nWe discuss fibre-first feeding, minerals, antioxidants, gut-repairing herbs, natural anti-inflammatories, and how to choose the right diet for easy keepers or insulin-resistant horses. Natural management strategies such as turnout, exercise, stress reduction and toxin avoidance also play a vital role in protecting the gut and preventing laminitic flare-ups.\n\nWhether your horse is overweight, foot-sore, insulin resistant, or simply prone to gut issues, small changes supported by herbal medicine can improve long-term health and comfort.\n\n?

Natural Support, Pain Relief & Holistic Options | What Pet Owners Need to Know","description":"Osteosarcoma in dogs is one of the most common and aggressive forms of canine bone cancer. Many pet owners search for natural treatments, holistic options, and herbal medicine to help improve quality of life, support immunity, reduce pain and inflammation, and slow the progression of disease. In this video, we discuss how osteosarcoma develops, why it spreads so quickly, and the natural wellness options that may help dogs stay more comfortable.\n\nWhile amputation and chemotherapy are often recommended, some dog owners explore complementary or integrative care alongside veterinary treatment. Herbal support, immune-boosting supplements, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory herbs, nutritional therapies, medicinal mushrooms, turmeric (curcumin), omega-3 oils, and detoxification support can all be part of a holistic wellness plan.\n\nWe look at gentle pain-relieving herbs, natural anti-inflammatories, and immune-modulating plants that may help reduce discomfort, support bone health, improve appetite, and enhance overall vitality. Diet changes, gut health support, stress reduction, and toxin avoidance can also make a meaningful difference for dogs with cancer.\n\nOur goal is to help dog owners understand osteosarcoma more clearly, feel informed, and learn natural wellness tools that may assist alongside veterinary care. Every dog deserves comfort, support, and quality of life.\n\n?

Herbal Support & Natural Recovery #stringhalt #horsehealth #herbal","description":"Australian Stringhalt is a serious neurological condition affecting pasture-based horses, characterised by involuntary hyperflexion of the hind limbs when moving. In this video, Cath McDowell explains the causes, symptoms, and herbal strategies for supporting horses affected by stringhalt.\n\nAustralian Stringhalt is often triggered by extreme weather conditions and the ingestion of stressed Hypochaeris radicata (flat weed). The neurotoxins in this weed are thought to affect the myelin sheath of nerves in the central nervous system, leading to ataxia, muscle weakness, and in severe cases, potentially life-threatening complications.\n\nHerbal medicine and natural support can play a crucial role in improving nerve function, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall equine health. Herbs used traditionally for neuroprotection, circulation, and detoxification can help restore mobility, improve strength, and support the body\u2019s natural healing processes.\n\nEarly intervention and consistent herbal support, combined with careful management of pasture and diet, can improve outcomes for horses suffering from stringhalt.
