Natural Therapies for Pets

Herbal remedies, homoeopathy, acupuncture, massage and many other forms of natural medicine are all active forms of healing. They seek to reinforce the body’s own healing processes without suppressing these processes as many chemical medications do. The result of natural treatment is to heal the body completely, not just treat or suppress the presenting systems. Today there is now a great amount of information available about natural medicine and its uses and our animals can benefit directly from many of these forms of alternative therapies.

This course is designed to introduce you to the therapies and some basic treatments. However, veterinary advice should always be sought to identify your pet’s condition or illness.
