Robert McDowell's Herbal Treatments 18 September 2005 Herbal Help for Humans and their Companions"The real trick to life is not to be in the know but in the mystery"- Fred Alan Wolf PhD This week we feature:-
Canine - Collie Nose Update The skin lesions in DLE or Collie Nose arise when the animal's immune system targets the skin. The immune system normally clears infections and any substances that are "foreign" to the body, while ignoring, or tolerating, substances that are normally found there. In DLE, we believe that the immune system considers some of the normal components of the skin as foreign. It uses the mechanisms normally launched at foreign invaders to try to "clear" these skin components. The resulting inflammation and skin damage lead to the visible changes seen on the surface. I recommend you start immediately with the Maritime Pine Extract my primary immune system tonic see link: http://www.herbal-dogkeeping.com/maritime_pine_bark_extract_pycnogenol.html Topically apply the Collie Nose Ointment: http://www.herbal-treatments.com/newsletters/herbal_newsletter_2003_11_30.html And the Conditioning Mix to bring back balance in the body's metabolism: http://www.herbal-dogkeeping.com/dog_conditioning_mix.html Also add 1 tablespoon of Crushed white millet & linseed made into a porridge to Zooms diet 1x daily as well as Dandelion tea granules 2 teaspoons 1 x a day. Since DLE is exacerbated by sun exposure keep your dog indoors during peak sunlight hours & apply a sunscreen which doesn't contain Zinc oxide topically at other times. Equine - Open Wound Syringe the open wound with Colloidal Silver twice daily especially if messy. http://www.herbal-horsekeeping.com/horse_colloidal_silver_antibiotic.html If the wound is still a little messy then the Wheatgrass spray is also ideal. http://www.herbal-horsekeeping.com/horse_scar_recovery.html If the wound is starting to heal no infection present then treat with the skin healing mix. http://www.herbal-horsekeeping.com/horse_skin_healing.html Add Chamonmile tea to his diet 1 litre 500ml AM & Pm. Also to aide repair of tissue 1 cup each of Crushed White Millet & Linseed halve AM & PM mix dry into food. Human - Quitting Smoking The cravings can be maddening. Congratulations if you have decided to give up smoking you will feel better in the long run. Have a look at the following tonic it will support the processes of elimination & support the organs that have been affected by smoking: http://www.altivoe.com/herbs_smokers_support Home Remedies - Teeth Grinding Teeth grinding is a nervous system condition found in those who maintain residual muscular tension in the jaw while sleeping. The herb Valerian is particularly applicable to this type of nervous system and it may be as simple as either drinking acup of Valerian tea each evening or taking 10 drops of Valerian extract in water.
