This chopped blend was formulated to support the lungs health and healing for a.variety of issues. These herbs can support lung function, loosen and decrease mucous, act as a decongestant, reduce inflammation and help improve air flow.
COPD is a blanket term often given to horses who present respiratory issues even when it's not something chronic. Symptoms are the result of something deeper and an immune response (like allergies). I highly recommend detoxing and building the immune system. If you really want to see what your horses need, check out the Applied Zoopharmacognosy testing.
These herbs are not intended to be fed with a grain diet.
