Red raspberry leaf has been used for centuries as a remedy for various ailments, and it's great for helping conjunctivitis. It contains tannins with astringent properties that help reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin and mucous membranes.

To help with conjunctivitis, make a herbal infusion by steeping the leaves in hot water. When cooled, apply the cooled water to the affected area. You can also give your pup red raspberry leaf as a supplement.

Your pup's eye will be less inflamed and feel much better in no time!!

Hibiscus contains mucilage, a gel-like substance that can help lubricate and soothe the digestive system, making it easier for food to move through the intestines. This can help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movements.

If your pooch struggles to p**p try getting some hibiscus in their diet.

Coriander is great for your pooch in small doses. It has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce pain and inflammation.

So sprinkle a few fresh leaves on their dinner whenever you have it in!!

Earlier this week, I explained what equipment you would need to make a tincture. Now we're going to strain that tincture.

You will need:

🌿Dropper bottles are ideal, but as you can see from my photo, I use anything as long as it seals and has been sterilised!
🌿Muslin bags/cheesecloth. I started off using cheesecloth but it got messy really quickly so I switched to the muslin bags.
🌿Pouring glass jug.
🌿Funnels - one larger and one small.
🌿Coffee filters
🌿Latex type gloves

I tip my unstrained tincture into a muslin bag over a clean jug. Squeeze gently until all of the liquid is in the jug. I discard the plant matter.

Then I put a coffee filter in a funnel and strain the liquid again. It is a slow process so be patient!

Then, it's a case of pouring the liquid into the dropper bottles.

And, you are finished! You have an amazing tincture that will last for ages in the fridge.

So true!

Rose petals contain natural oils that can help soothe and nourish your pup's skin.

Why not try a rose petal-infused oil or spray topically that will promote healthy skin and coat? 🌹🌹

05/12/2024

Did you know that you can combine herbs? You don't have to stick to just one herb to help your pooch.

For example, combine ginger and turmeric for an even better remedy to help inflammation.

Or, combine chamomile with peppermint to relax your pup and help with digestive issues.

Or, milk thistle and dandelion to provide comprehensive support for liver health.

Do you get the idea? Why use one herb when you can use two!!!

04/12/2024

Making tinctures is one of my most favourite things to do. They are easy to make, and the end result is extremely effective. Here's what you'll need:

🌿A clean jar. I love mason jars but have been known to use empty and clean marmalade jars. I use isopropanol alcohol to sterilise the jar, just spray and leave it to air dry.
🌿Alcohol. The percentage of alcohol can change depending on the herb but I generally use 40% (80 proof) vodka. You can use brandy or anything that has a high alcohol content.
🌿Your herb of choice. Always chop up or grind the herb/root to get the best effect.
🌿A square of parchment paper if your jar has a metal lid otherwise, the lid will react to the alcohol.

Then just wait for 8 to 10 weeks. If you forget about your tincture, which I have done, as long as the alcohol is completely covering the plant material, it'll be fine.

Part 2 coming soon, where we strain the tincture - exciting!!!

...calendula.

If your pooch has inflamed gums, it's important to try and heal them and calendula is a fab herb to do this.

Calendula can help to reduce the inflammation and promote healing in the gums. It also has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, which can help prevent infections.

Use calendula in a mouthwash or make a gel using aloe vera to apply directly to the gums.

Be honest, how many of you dare get up close and personal with your pup's mouth? I probably could with Storm, but I think Emmylou would have other ideas!!!

03/12/2024

If you guessed Myrrh, you'd be right!!

Myrrh comes from the Commiphora myrrha tree and has been used for centuries as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent.

It's great as a topical remedy for hot spots and minor cuts or wounds. Dilute a few drops of myrrh essential oil into a carrier oil such as olive oil and apply it to the affected area. This will help soothe the irritated skin, reduce swelling, and promote healing.

Myrrh essential oil can be bought from health food shops or online shops, but make sure you buy from a reputable source, organic if possible, and that the myrrh has no additives.

FOR TOPICAL USE ONLY.

Eye health is something that we dog owners tend to overlook, but just like us, dogs can experience eye problems that require attention and care. Here are 3 herbs that can help:

👀 Bilberry: Bilberry is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect the eyes from damage caused by free radicals. It can also improve circulation to the eyes and help maintain healthy vision in dogs.

👀 Eyebright: Eyebright is a herb that has been traditionally used to support eye health in dogs. It can help reduce inflammation, soothe irritation, and relieve symptoms of eye conditions such as conjunctivitis and eye infections.

👀 Dandelion: Dandelion is a cleansing herb that can help detoxify the liver and improve overall eye health in dogs. A healthy liver is essential for maintaining good eye health, as toxins can affect the eyes. Dandelion can also help reduce inflammation and support proper eye function.

Here's to happy, healthy eyes!!

...that Siberian Ginseng can help improve cognitive function, including memory and overall mental alertness in your pooch? It's fabulous for older dogs and those who are showing signs of mental decline.

It's also an adaptogen, which means that it helps the body's natural ability to cope with stress and anxiety.

Consider giving it to your elderly pup, especially if they exhibit decreased awareness.

Did you know that plantain is known as the band-aid plant'?

If your pooch has an insect bite that is bothering them, you can chop up fresh plantain (from a pesticide and chemical-free area) and wash them thoroughly. Then, put it directly on the wound and cover it with a bandage or something to keep the plantain in place.

The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of plantain can help soothe the skin, reduce swelling, and promote healing.

Such a fab plant, and all I did as a kid was to make a 'guitar' out of them!!

Chia seeds are amazing for your pooch.

They are loaded with nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein, antioxidants, and essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Feeding your dog chia seeds can improve their skin and coat health, aid in digestion, and support overall immune function. These tiny seeds can also help regulate blood sugar levels and promote healthy weight management.

To incorporate chia seeds into your dog's diet, you can sprinkle them on top of their food or mix them into homemade treats. It is important to start with small quantities and gradually increase as your dog adjusts to the new ingredient. You don't have to soak them before adding them to their food but do make sure that you have plenty of water available.

I know, I know, there are loads of fab reasons to give herbs to your pooch but here's a biggie.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵. They are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and lots of other beneficial compounds that can support various bodily functions.

There you have it, one amazing reason that you should give herbs to your pooch!!

1. Lemon balm can help reduce anxiety and stress in dogs, making it a natural remedy for nervousness during thunderstorms, fireworks, or vet visits.

2. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe digestive issues in dogs, such as upset stomach or gas.

3. Lemon balm may have mild sedative effects, helping dogs relax and have better quality sleep.

A fabulous herb that is great for humans too!

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for centuries for both humans and animals. More and more people are looking for ways to treat themselves and their dogs without using conventional medication from Big Pharma. Here are a few of the benefits of TCM:

1. Holistic Approach: TCM takes a holistic approach to health and wellness, focusing on balancing the body's energies and treating the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms.

2. Natural Remedies: TCM for dogs uses natural remedies such as herbs, acupuncture, and massage, which can be gentle on your dog's system and have fewer side effects compared to some conventional medications.

3. Individualised Treatment: TCM treatments for dogs are often tailored to the individual dog's unique constitution and health concerns, making it a personalised approach to healthcare.

4. Complementary to Western Medicine: TCM can complement traditional Western veterinary care, providing additional options for treatment and potentially improving outcomes for certain conditions.

5. Preventative Care: TCM for dogs can be used as a preventative measure to maintain your dog's overall health and well-being, helping to strengthen their immune system and promote longevity.

6. Support for Chronic Conditions: TCM can be particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions such as arthritis, allergies, and digestive issues in dogs, offering relief and improving quality of life.

If TCM feels like something you'd like to try look for a professional TCM practitioner who is qualified and certified in veterinary acupuncture, herbal medicine, or other TCM modalities that are specific to treating animals.

I think we all overeat at Christmas; I know I do! With just about four weeks to go until the big day, here are five tips to get your pooch into shape and ready for a few Christmas treats!

🎄 Increase Exercise: Take your dog for regular walks and engage in playtime to ensure they are getting enough physical activity. This can help prevent excess weight gain.

🎄Monitor Food Intake: Pay close attention to your dog's food portions and avoid giving excessive treats or table scraps. Consider incorporating low-calorie snacks like carrot sticks or apple slices as treats.

🎄Use Herbal Supplements: Consider incorporating herbal supplements such as green tea extract, fenugreek, or turmeric, which can aid in weight management and digestion.

🎄Provide Mental Stimulation: Mental stimulation through puzzle toys or training sessions can help prevent boredom and emotional eating in dogs.

🎄Maintain a Routine: Stick to a consistent feeding schedule and avoid sudden changes in diet to promote a healthy metabolism.

That's my dogs sorted; now I just need a plan for myself!!
