Applied Zoopharmacognosy is the practice of allowing horses and other animals the freedom to select from a wide range of herbs, essential oils, clays and roots to maintain or restore their health.

The essential oils are recognised by horses for their medicinal properties only and are selected to help to clear

* sarcoids
* skin complaints
* respiratory and digestive disorders
* pain and behavioural problems

I am an internationally recognised healer, qualified and insured Animal Aromatics Practitioner and have been using essential oils for the last 20 years very successfully with horses and have recently updated to the Applied Zoopharmacognosy methodology.

I can provide a service to help you and your horse in a completely natural and organic way.

There is nothing more joyful than a horse hugging you to say thank you 🥰

Just been working with a TB, who has suffered with anxiety. Over 2 sessions he has transformed as he has selected a range of herbs, powders and oils to restore his inner equilibrium. Last week he was anxiously observing events around the yard, this week there was just a natural curiosity and a new found confidence.

Working with essential oils and other aromatics can enable your horse to self-select to restore its own homeostatic balance. An emotional trauma could have been stored within the body, which has caused stress and consequently developed a physical, chronic symptom.

The beauty of essential oils is that they support emotional as well as physical healing.

One of my first clients had a middle-aged pony with chronic COPD. The pony had managed to escape from a slaughter house and had still been absolutely terrified when she rescued him and he had been with her ever since. He had suffered with COPD for years and it was particularly bad during harvest time. I can still remember his wheezing. This little fellow spent quite a bit of time inhaling Rose and Linden Blossom, 2 essential oils which are always chosen when there has been something traumatic and also German Chamomile which is a fabulous anti-histamine. Even whilst I was there the wheezing lessened dramatically and when I left this little pony slept flat out in his stable for 2 hours and over the next few days his wheezing disappeared and didn’t return even during harvest time a couple of weeks later. The lungs are typically affected when grief has been stored in the body and we can only imagine what this little fellow had been through before his rescue.

Essential oils can help:

Laminitis
Sarcoids
Rainscald
Mudfever
COPD
Recurrent colic as this can be an anxious reaction

As well as vices and unusual behaviour such as fear based reactions. Please get in touch if you are curious to know if the aromatics could help your horse as I am more than happy to discuss

Horses can be observed inhaling the essential oils through just one nostril, alternate nostrils or by both simultaneously. When the oils are being inhaled, they are having a direct impact on emotional reactions as essential oils are able to cross the blood brain barrier. When a horse has experienced an emotional trauma or past abuse that event is stored in the cell’s memory and impacts their current day behaviour. When an oil such as Linden Blossom is inhaled, this oil acts like a key in a lock and initiates the release process of this stored event. A horse’s behaviour can noticeably change within minutes of inhalation.

In one session a young gelding was being offered different oils which he showed no interest in and was being a little aggressive with both his owner and I, until he was offered yarrow. Yarrow is usually selected when there has been some traumatic incident or injury and this youngster had been castrated the previous week and subsequently had not allowed anyone near his hind legs. This gelding then started inhaling yarrow essential oil with his eyes closed for 20 minutes. When he opened his eyes, there was a softness there and so his owner gently laid her hands on his back and slowly moved towards his hind quarters. He didn’t move or flinch and allowed her to pick up his feet.

Another horse had been terrified of leaving his stable for 6 months; rearing at the gate if taken to the field. After working with the essential oils, we walked him down to his paddock and he calmly put his head down and started to graze!
