This Online Workshop will give you the opportunity to acquire a life-long skillset empowering you to restore and maintain your horse’s health using herbs, essential oils and minerals using the Self-selection (also called the Applied Zoopharmacognosy) approach. Earlybird tickets now available!

Emergency situations such as Choke and Colic can be supported successfully with this approach as well as the resolution and/or support of more long-term physical issues such as Laminitis and Arthritis. Injuries, wounds and rehab benefit enormously from the self-selection approach too.

But it's not just physical issues that can benefit, emotional issues such as grief and anger can also be resolved!
You will enjoy a blended learning approach (Case studies, video’s, interactive Human and Horse ‘Offering’ exercises, Quizzes) which ensure that you are an active participant rather than a passive attendee. Your learning pack will contain reference notes, record sheets and herbal packs for the exercises. You will also be eligible to access the Membership section of our Whitethorn Herbals website in order to view the listing of Extracts for specific Conditions and gain ongoing support through a dedicated private Facebook group.

Not only does this form of individualised medicine support your horse from a health point of view but also you will find that it brings your bond with them to a much deeper level. By giving them a choice you are also giving them a voice - powerful on so many levels!

Self-medication through wound treatment observed in the Wild (it's actually been going on since time began - the scientific community just didnt notice it!) :

Orangutan treats wound with pain-relieving plant -
Researchers observe a wild orangutan applying a plant with known medicinal properties to a wound, a first for a wild animal

First evidence for medical wound treatment in a wild animal – wild orangutan treats wound with healing plant and uses it as wound plaster

DEAD SEA 🌊MINERAL MUD - or miracle mud, as it is known as in some yards! 🫶
This magic wound covering is a blessing in any home or yard. Its rich mineral content means that it accelerates skin granulation thus encouraging healing while protecting the wound 👌

We recommend that you do not apply over stitches (use beeswax salve instead) and offer antibacterials in the form of essential oils such as Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Clove and Garlic to reduce any infection 😃

Canine Foundation Learning Packs went out to students for the workshop this weekend. Herbal samples are included in the pack and Eddie was quick to open the pack and wasted no time to get to work!
Here you can see Eddie after giving the Spirulina a thorough testing to see that it was up to spec. Judging by his state of relaxation and green legs we are guessing it reaches his approval ! 🤣🤣🤣

Delighted to announce that after a dry spell, Elderflower is now back in stock!
We know that your animals are just going to LOVE this beautifully produced Elderflower Floral Water - when selected of course!

Thank you for your kind patience and just a word about quality -

Many suppliers produce hydrolates (also called aromatic/floral waters) that are a by-product of the production process of essential oils. This byproduct is of a reduced quality due to the syphoning off of secondary metabolites (aromatic chemicals) during the production process.

Our Floral/Aromatic waters are produced as waters in their own right and therefore are a complete representation of the plant with nothing removed. So when you are Offering any of our floral waters, you can be assured that your animal is enjoying the full goodness of the complete plant thus optimising healing potential

Happy Offering!

This gorgeous girl enjoyed applying green clay on only the left side of her face. This is where a cat's scent cheek glands are located 👃

Interestingly enough, she didnt apply the greeen clay on the right side of her face 🤔

Could it be that she only needed it on the one side and that she knew where and how much she needed? YES !! Of course, she knows exactly what she does and doesnt need!

Green clay is a known gut detoxifier when ingested and also great to relieve Yeast infections on the skin when selected topically.

And because our Green clay is so fine, it is great to get rid of ectoparasites (fleas, mites etc). Top tip - also offer Neem powder alongside Green clay as an added flea/mite remover 😉

Both are available at Whitethornherbals.com

JACK WAS FOUND STARVING AND SCARED on the streets of Mexico City. His kind and dedicated rescuers managed to get him into their car by encouraging him with food. It took them days to finally encourage him out of the car and into their home 🥲

Once in their home, Jack was so scared he hid under the bed for 2 years only coming out at night to relieve himself in the garden. He couldnt be touched or stand any human contact 😧

Ulrike, who attended our Canine AZ Foundation and Trauma workshops, lives next door to Jack and his guardians. Ulrike has been working with him over a few months, offering essential oils to support him in building his confidence and courage. She has also offered him treats and given him toys to start to encourage his engagement with people, showing him that some people are good and can be trusted ❤

Ulrike has done some fantastic work, always being kind and patient and slowly Jack has come out from under the bed and is engaging well. Whilst Jack isnt out of the woods yet, he has come a long way from where he started and we would like to give a huge 'Congratualations and Well done' to Team Jack and wish them well on their ongoing journey ! 🙌
