Holistic Equine Naturopathic Consultation Service

NOTE: Naturopathic Consultations can also be conducted online.

This holistic service evaluates the "health" of the horse on the 3 levels of body mind spirit.

Traditional medicine primarily treats the physical symptoms which is especially important in acute or life threatening situations however it does not always present the whole picture and give a holistic perspective in many other cases.

A holistic Practitioner is of the view that "disease" can only manifest at the physical level if the "higher" energetic levels are depleted. Meaning, if we take into account the emotional, mental and spiritual "dis-ease" as well we can often more successfully circumvent any immediate and future problems.

Example... over the years of practising holistic medicine I would dose up with garlic if I ever experienced early flu symptoms, then as I understood holistic principals further I would, when presented with these same symptoms ask myself "what thoughts/feeling or events have occurred to deplete my system?". Then I saw that as I worked through and resolved these issues in some way I strengthened my core energy and no flu symptoms ever appeared.

We can not only do this for ourselves but we can also work at this level with our horse's health and wellbeing. We can often circumvent illness by an understanding of and a remedying of the deeper causes of a problem.

The horse is an extremely sensitive animal and it has been my experience that many horses have been conditioned to "hide" or internalize symptoms of stress from their owner.

Holistic Consultations allow the Holistequine Practitioner to intuit any of these stress factors depleting the animals system which can result in a lowering of the immune status.

Stress in horses (as in humans) is unique to each individual... stress is defined as "any factor that upsets the homeostasis of the body". Stress is the one single factor that can be the cause of "behavioural problems" or can lower our horse's immune system allowing for a virus or bacteria to invade the host.
