BURDOCK ! We were lucky to find this plant growing in our winter grazing. It's generally not found on our land, although quite prevalent in our neighbours farm. It's quite easy to recognise due to it's purple burr's and dock type leaves - hence the name Burr - dock.
In the self-selection/Applied Zoopharmacognosy approach, we offer it for infection as it is a well-known tissue cleanser. Offer along side other herbs which are known to support the immune system in expelling toxins.
Cert Organic Burdock is available along with many other herbs at

Quino got caught in some bushes and the vet has diagnosed an inflamed tendon from his neck to his shoulder ๐Ÿถ
As you can see, he has selected German Chamomile to ease the inflammatory response from the tendon strain ๐ŸŒผ
During the session Quino also selected Arnica CO2 and St John's wort floral water ๐Ÿ’ฆ

How lucky Quino is to have such a devoted and dedicated guardian!โค๏ธ

CANINE TRAUMA WORKSHOP! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿค“
Last Sunday we held our Canine Trauma workshop, covering how, why and when dogs can be effected by traumatic events and how to use herbal extracts and essential oils to resolve the residual trauma ๐Ÿ’”
It was well attended with a global audience, with of course, our own Whitethorn Team member Dr Silke Kleefeld whom explained the scientific research and papers behind the practice ๐Ÿง
A big thank you to Paula Doohan (dog behaviourist from TV series Madrai) for bringing Eddie (and Jacob his pal) as our demo dog ๐Ÿถ Eddie commenced the session in an extremely anxious state - by the time it was over, he was curled up in a ball asleep at Paula's feet! Paula will keep on offering and we shall see how he responds and works through his anxiety โค

The wonderful power of Nature! ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ

This beautiful gentle older Lady, Moo, came to the Whitethorn clinic for an AZ session earlier this year ๐Ÿถ She was having extreme breathing difficulties, having been diagnosed with tachycardia/arrythmia and the prognosis wasnt good ๐Ÿ˜ž One of her key selections was Rose otto which is often selected for heart issues โค She returned home and her caring and diligent 'mum' continued offering.

I am delighted to report that recently Moo's 'mum' contacted me to say that she was doing really well and that she has surpassed her vet and owners predictions of not coming this far and is still very much in the Land of the Living! ๐Ÿ˜

Her 'mum' commented: " the oils have really helped to support her, including supporting her cardovascular health and her breathing issues are less frequent and more manageable . Thanks so much again! "

Here's to the Power of Plants and mother Nature! ๐Ÿ˜€ (and the AZ approach of course!)

If you would like to learn how to use essential oils to help your dog, consider joining us in November for our Canine Foundation Workshop:

This is a short clip from the material presented in our Canine Foundation Applied Zoopharmacognosy Online workshop ๐Ÿง

Here we see Bertie selecting German Chamomile whilst giving attention to his right foreleg. German Chamomile, when selected, is a powerful anti inflammatory due to it's high levels of secondary metabolite Chamazulene. Bertie then went on to present his abdomen for a topical application of the same oil ๐ŸŒผ

I performed an 'unscheduled dismount' on a 16HH TB yesterday whilst in the top left hand corner of the arena. It was very windy and he's not a fan of wind. I havent hit the deck for a long time and it was an uncomplicated fall so no real harm done - to me, that is ๐Ÿ™ƒ

However, after the lesson and putting the horse back in the stable and untacking him, I could see an uncertainty and anxiety in his face. He is such a sensitive soul and when riding him, I am acutely aware of his sentitivity - using light aids etc โ˜บ๏ธ

I happened to have Ylang ylang Essential Oil (Cert Organic from WhitethornHerbals.com) with me and offered it to him.
His face was transformed! After much licking and chewing, a new light shone through his eyes. He looked SO happy as his eyes smiled back at me! I was delighted to be able to relieve the uncertainty and anxiety that I saw in such a simple yet profound way โค

I often feel we underestimate the effect on our horses of an 'unscheduled dismount' has on our horses and certainly my work over the years has revealed quite a few cases where animals have 'had their confidence dented' due to a fall - of either their rider or themselves.
I was really really pleased to have this oil on me to help him redress the shock and possible anxiety around losing his pilot. After all I guess we could all do with a little courage at some time or other!

No pic of the horse I am afraid, (and definitely not making public any purple skin!) so putting in a beautiful pic of Ylang ylang instead. What a beautiful plant that we are so lucky to have access to!
