| Herbs for Animals Herbs can be used in cooking for your pets, or as medications As medications, they can be helpful for a variety of chronic problems As medications, they can have side effects and interact with other medications For help using herbs, contact a veterinary herbalist Herbal medicine is probably the oldest medicine for people, and extension, for animals. Unfortunately, the written tradition detailing historical uses of herbs in domestic animals is scarce. Veterinary herbalists study the human literature for clues. Herbal medicine can provide benefits that conventional medicine doesn't yet offer. Many veterinarians believe that full, complete nutrition is not available from a bag or a can, in much the same way that humans need fresh fruits and vegetables for the unidentified phyto-nutrients which are thought to prevent cancer. Cooking stews containing good quality meats (chicken, pork, fish, organ meats, lamb, etc), whole grains (rice, barley, oats, etc) and a variety of fresh or frozen vegetables will give your pet an extra boost, plus give you a creative outlet for using the culinary herbs listed below. Ginger (for nausea, motion sickness) Garlic (with care—antimicrobial, adjunctive treatment for cancer) Turmeric (anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, anti- cancer) Parsley (diuretic) Cranberry (for recurring urinary tract infections) Shitake mushroom (immune stimulant) Artichokes (liver disease) Common conditions where herbs may help Motion sickness: ginger Hot spots: black or green tea compresses Allergies (general): burdock, tang kuei Urinary tract infections: cranberry Wounds: aloe, comfrey, chamomile—all topically only Upper respiratory infections: echinacea, oregon grape root Immune suppression: astragalus, reishi, shitake Arthritis: boswellia, devil's claw Liver disease: milk thistle, artichokes, turmeric Conjunctivitis: eyebright, tea compresses (topically) Diabetes: gymnema, bitter melon Note: Common herbs that are potentially dangerous for use in animals Pennyroyal (very toxic to dogs and cats) White Willow bark (salicylates may be toxic to cats) Garlic (Heinz body anemia) Tea Tree oil (VERY toxic to cats and small dogs) Ma Huang (cats have peculiarity ( quirky ) reactions) Comfrey (cause liver damage) Hops (in greyhounds) Contraindications for herb use!!!! Pets with these conditions may have serious short- or long-term reactions to the indicated herbs, unless properly prescribed by your veterinarian /herbalist. These are precisely the herbs that are used in treatment of some of these conditions—this is why it is important for a veterinarian/herbalist to make the decision about whether the herb is appropriate for your pet. Kidney disease: caution with dandelion, parsley Heart disease: caution with motherwort, hawthorn, goldenseal, oregon grape, barberry Autoimmune disease: caution with echinacea, reishi, maitake, astragalus Liver disease: caution with dandelion\ Thyroid disease: caution with kelp,bugleweed Certain herbs should not be used if your pet is on the following medications, unless prescribed by your veterinarian / herbalist!!!!!!!
