Natural bursitis treatment, healing herbs & pain relief tips#bursitis #pollevil","description":"Bursitis in horses, also known as Poll Evil, is a painful inflammation of the bursa at the top of the neck, often leading to swelling and even abscess formation. Many owners search for safe, natural ways to reduce pain, inflammation, and infection, especially when the condition becomes chronic or slow to heal. In this video, we explain what causes Poll Evil, how to recognise early symptoms, and how herbal medicine and natural treatments can support recovery. ??\n\nPoll Evil may occur from trauma, poor saddle fit, insect bites, infections, or repetitive pressure at the poll. When the bursa becomes inflamed, horses may show pain, stiffness, swelling, head-shyness, and reluctance to bridle. Early support is essential to avoid abscessing.\n\nHerbs and natural therapies can play a powerful role in supporting healing:\n\u2705 Anti-inflammatory herbs to calm swelling\n\u2705 Herbal antibacterials to reduce infection risk\n\u2705 Lymphatic herbs to drain fluid and speed recovery\n\u2705 Pain-relieving herbs to increase comfort\n\u2705 Topical poultices to draw out infection and support abscess healing\n\nThese remedies are gentle, 100% natural, and can be used alongside veterinary care. Many horses respond well when inflammation and pain are managed holistically\u2014supporting the immune system, improving circulation, and reducing pressure on the poll.\n\nIf your horse has persistent swelling, sensitivity around the bridle, or a developing poll lump, early action is key.

Antioxidants help defend against oxidative stress, while herbal remedies and nutrient-rich foods support natural collagen production.

In this Q&A, Cath explains how peritonitis develops, the early warning signs horse owners should recognise, and how a combination of veterinary care and herbal medicine may support recovery and long-term gut health.\n\nPeritonitis in horses can occur when bacteria enter the peritoneal lining through ulcers, intestinal damage, colic complications, or parasites such as strongyles. Because the infection progresses rapidly, early veterinary intervention is essential. Alongside conventional treatment, natural remedies and herbs traditionally used for immune function, tissue repair, and inflammation may help support the healing process and strengthen digestive resilience.\n\nHerbs such as marshmallow root, chamomile, calendula, slippery elm, and echinacea have been used to soothe gut lining, encourage healthy microbiota, and assist the body\u2019s natural immune response. Diet plays a major role as well\u2014high-fibre, low-sugar feeds and healthy hydration assist the digestive system and reduce irritation.\n\nCath also discusses a herbal prevention program focused on reducing parasite-related gut damage - especially from strongyles. Supporting the intestinal wall, improving digestion, and maintaining a strong immune system may reduce the risk of peritonitis occurring in the future.\n\nIf your horse has gut issues, recurring colic, behavioural changes, or unexplained discomfort, this video offers valuable guidance for natural wellness and holistic equine care. ??\n\nIf your horse has gut issues, recurring colic, discomfort, or signs of peritonitis, early veterinary treatment is essential \u2014 but herbal support can help strengthen the immune system, soothe the digestive lining, and encourage long-term healing.\n\n\u2705 Want guidance tailored to your horse?\nSend us a message or book a consultation at mcdowellsherbal.com\n\u2705 Learn more about natural gut support, herbs for strongyles, and holistic equine wellness in our other videos and articles.\n\nDrop your questions below \u2014 Cath will answer them in future Q&As! ??\n\n#PeritonitisInHorses #EquinePeritonitis #HorseGutHealth #NaturalHorseCare #HerbalMedicineForHorses #HolisticHorseHealth #EquineWellness #GutInfectionHorses #StrongylesInHorses #HerbsForHorses #EquineImmuneSupport #HorseHealthTips #NaturalTreatmentForHorses #EquineDigestiveHealth","custom_imageurl":"","custom_title":"","custom_description":"","specialparams":"","lastupdate":"2026-04-28 09:22:03","allowupdates":"1","status":"200","isvideo":"1","link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n8AS09GMXZY","ordering":"10042","publisheddate":"2022-07-05 17:11:20","duration":"123","rating_average":"0","rating_max":"0","rating_min":"0","rating_numRaters":"0","statistics_favoriteCount":"0","statistics_viewCount":"153","keywords":"","startsecond":"0","endsecond":"0","likes":"2","dislikes":"0","commentcount":"0","channel_username":"","channel_title":"","channel_subscribers":"0","channel_subscribed":"0","channel_location":"","channel_commentcount":"0","channel_viewcount":"0","channel_videocount":"0","channel_description":"","channel_totaluploadviews":"0","alias":"peritonitis-in-horses-explained-natural-treatment-herbal-support-for-gut-health-horsehealth","rawdata":"","datalink":"https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/youtube\/v3\/videos?id=n8AS09GMXZY&part=id,snippet,contentDetails,statistics&key=AIzaSyD89U-SK0UxDlsXZOuS052VTVo8JAqpJ-U"}]
