Homeopathy for pets and humans!
Homeopathic medicines have been used for more than 200 years, developed in Germany by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Homeopathy has a long history and relaid on utilization of natural substances to cure diseases without performing any modifications of body parts as done in Allopathy. There have been numerous provings that homeopathy can heal just about anything (some things still need westernized methods) if taking the correct remedy based on individual symptoms. ​​
Why Homeopathy? It works!
​
Homeopathy is a medical system based on the belief that the body can cure itself. Those who practice it use tiny amounts of natural substances, like plants and minerals. They believe these stimulate the healing process. Homeopathy is a therapeutic method that uses diluted extracts of natural substances to relieve symptoms. The active ingredients in homeopathic medicines include plants, animals, or minerals that relieve the same symptoms they cause at full strength (e.g., a microdose of coffee bean helps to relieve nervousness). Homeopathic products come from plants (such as red onion, arnica [mountain herb], poison ivy, belladonna [deadly nightshade], and stinging nettle), minerals (such as white arsenic), or animals (such as crushed whole bees). Homeopathic products are often made as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue; they may also be in other forms, such as ointments, gels, drops, creams, and tablets. Treatments are “individualized” or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments. Homeopathy uses a different diagnostic system for assigning treatments to individuals and recognizes clinical patterns of signs and symptoms that are different from those of conventional medicine.
Homeopathy is manufactured in strict accordance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. Today, homeopathic medicines are used by millions of families and recommended by health care professionals around the world to relieve many common, everyday conditions such as allergies, coughs, colds, flu, stress, muscle pain, and teething.

I have been using Boiron for myself and my children, our pets and client's horses for many years before I became a certified beginner homeopath. I chose them because they are the most reputable company out there. At the bottom of this page yo0u will find Boiron informational links. Though they give a standard dosage of 5 pellets 4 times a day on their tubes, that is not the classical approach. Below please find instructions on how DILUTIONS should be taken from my recommendations and training. If you have any questions, please contact us via email. The list below is what I keep in my emergency kit, these have been most successful for me with horses and other pets.

Equine Homeopathic Emergency kit
This kit has been made with horses and pets in mind but can be used by people as well. Some of the remedies don’t apply here for people. If you have something going on and the remedy doesn’t match what you are going though, please do some research or contact Wholehearted Harmony.
All remedies should be taken 30 minutes prior or after eating. If you have anything mint or menthol, wait 1 hour. It is best to place pellet(s) under the tongue, this way it can be absorbed straight into the mucous membranes.
If administering to a pet, there are some alternatives. 1. Place under the tongue is always the best method. 2. In a small amber bottle, place pellet(s) with about a tablespoon of distilled water and shake vigorisly and then pour into the mouth. 3. A small piece of apple can be fed with the pellet(s) in it.
How to dose with 30C remedies
The following instructions are suitable for the home-treatment of acute (short-lived) problems rather than chronic conditions.
One dose equals one pill or pellet, or ¼ dropper (5-7 drops) of liquid, taken by mouth, under tongue.
For the homeopathic management of chronic conditions please consult a homeopathic practitioner as changes in remedies, doses, and frequency of repetitions may be needed during a course of treatment.
Minor Conditions (for which you would probably not seek professional help.)
Examples: A mildly sprained ankle, or a nuisance-value sore throat.
Dose: Every 4 hours until symptoms start to improve. With improvement space the doses further apart take a dose when symptoms start to return. If there is no improvement at all by 3 doses (after 12 hours) choose a more suitable remedy or contact your homeopath.
Troubling Conditions (for which you might seek professional help.)
Examples: A painful and swollen sprained ankle that can tolerate some weight, or a troublesome sore throat.
Dose: Every 2 hours until symptoms start to improve. With improvement space the doses further apart, taking a dose when symptoms return. If there is no improvement at all by 3 doses (after 6 hours) choose a more suitable remedy or contact your homeopath.
Serious Conditions (for which you would seek professional help.)
Examples: A painful and swollen ankle that you cannot place any weight on at all, or a sore and red throat that makes eating or drinking difficult.
Dose: Every ½ hour until symptoms start to improve. With improvement space the doses further apart, taking a dose when symptoms return. If there is no improvement at all by 3 doses (after 1 1/2 hours) choose a more suitable remedy or contact your homeopath.
Emergency Situations (Conditions for which you would phone urgently for an ambulance.)
Examples: An obviously broken ankle where the bone has pierced the skin and the person is in severe pain or shock, or a painful, swollen throat that is leading to suffocation.
Dose: Every 15 seconds to a minute while waiting for the ambulance. If the remedy is correct there should be a rapid improvement in symptoms. With improvement space the doses further apart. If there is no improvement at all by 3 – 6 doses (after 1 – 2 minutes), change to another remedy.
Aggravations
An aggravation is a temporary intensification of symptoms after taking a dose of the remedy. Stop dosing at this point.
Once the aggravation settles improvement should follow if the remedy was correct for the symptom. Once this happens, repeat the remedy only when this improvement stalls or symptoms start to return. If the aggravation settles but without any following improvement, the remedy choice was likely incorrect. Review the symptoms and choose a better-matching remedy.
