Understanding Inflammation in Horses and Dogs
Inflammation, a natural response to injury or infection, can become chronic as animals age, leading to painful conditions like arthritis. Chronic inflammation in joints can cause stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Natural herbs can reduce this inflammation and provide relief, helping to improve your horse or dog’s comfort and movement without the side effects often associated with pharmaceutical treatments.
Key Anti-Inflammatory Herbs in Brookby Herbs' Products
Devil’s Claw
Devil’s Claw is a potent anti-inflammatory herb used extensively in Brookby Herbs' Equine Anti-Inflammatory Extract and Organic Free Mover Joint Relief for Dogs. It has a high concentration of one type of iridoid, called harpagoside, a compound known for reducing pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions like arthritis. Devil’s Claw helps alleviate joint stiffness and enhance mobility in horses and dogs, making it a vital component in long-term joint care.
White Willow Bark
White Willow Bark contains salicin, a natural pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory compound. It relieves the discomfort associated with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. White Willow Bark provides pain relief without the harsh effects of synthetic medications, making it suitable for prolonged use.
Meadowsweet
Meadowsweet is another herb rich in natural salicylates, similar to aspirin but much gentler on the stomach. It also reduces inflammation and relieves pain, making it an excellent choice for managing chronic joint conditions like arthritis.
Hawthorn
Hawthorn supports blood flow and the circulatory system, both essential for maintaining joint health. Improving blood flow helps deliver essential nutrients to inflamed joints, supporting recovery and reducing pain.
Nettle
Nettle is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to support joint health. It works by reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the body, making it an excellent choice for managing arthritis and other inflammatory conditions in horses and dogs. Nettle is a key ingredient in Brookby Herbs' formulas, helping to ease stiffness and discomfort naturally.
Rosehips
Rosehips are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which is crucial for reducing inflammation and supporting joint health. They are particularly effective at easing pain and improving joint mobility in animals with arthritis. Rosehips also help to boost the immune system, supporting overall health and wellness in both dogs and horses.
Kelp
Kelp is packed with essential minerals, including iodine, which supports thyroid function and overall metabolic health. In addition to its nutritional benefits, kelp has anti-inflammatory properties that can help manage joint pain and promote mobility. Including kelp in Brookby Herbs' joint support products ensures that your horse or dog receives a well-rounded supplement to maintain their joint and overall health.
