Equine Flu Herbs - Licorice
September 20th 2007 01:06
It is a popular and well-known remedy for coughs, consumption and chest complaints generally, notably bronchitis, and is an ingredient in almost all popular cough medicines on account of its valuable soothing properties.
Now that many of our horses in the city are recovering, some have a lingering cough or have lost a lot of condition from the equine flu. Its not a long term herb, one you would only give up to three months at one time, but with most of the horses it helps for about 6 weeks or so and then we will move onto other conditioning herbs if we need to.
Licorice is one herb I am using with them to help with their recovery. Either on its own or in a blend from Country Park Animal Herbs I formulated a few years ago called Autumn Blend.
On the whole, Liquorice is a nice tonic, alterative and expectorant properties, also for the rejuvenating and highly nutritive qualities.
