Without going into a detailed historical account of Homeopathy, suffice it to say that it has been around for over 200 years and has been verified extensively clinically and experimentally during that time. There are over 1200 separate remedies with more being discovered and verified regularly. In the 1800's Homeopathy was brought to the United States by several Doctors who practiced in England. The mid-1800's saw several Homeopathic Hospitals established including the New England Female Medical College, the first medical school in the U.S. to admit women. In the beginning of the 1900's one out of every 5 medical Doctors used Homeopathy but then, with the establishment of Western, allopathic medicine in the early 1900's, Homeopathy was consequently catalogued to the back shelves. By 1940 there were no Homeopathic courses taught in the US as part of a Medical studies program, however the comeback of this classical method of medical care began to resurface again in the 1920's when it was offered as a post-graduate course to MD's. Today, Homeopathy is quickly be restored as a viable and legitimate medical practice all over the world. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the manufacture and sale of homeopathic medicines and in 1938 The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States was written into federal law making the manufacture and sales of homeopathic medicines completely legal in this country. Most remedies can be purchased without prescription. Emergency kits are available bonlineline and over the counter making the remedies easily accessible to homes throughout the country.
How does Homeopathy work with Horses?
In the same parameters of classical homeopathy with humans, treating homeopathicallythically is as effective and curative. It takes a bit more sleuthing to discern emotions and states of mind in the horse but most homeopathic vets are sensitive to helping their clients understand Equine language and temperaments.
How do these emotions and states of mind make a difference in the Classical Homeopathic treatments?
Classical Homeopathy works with the WHOLE animal or human. In other words, instead of looking and describing the physical symptoms of an illness apart from the behavioral changes and demeanor of the animal and treating the *symptoms*, the entire 'being' of the animal is taken into consideration for proper treatment. One horse with a cough may indicate that a specific remedy would be effective whereas another horse, with identical symptoms, may indicate need for a different remedy.
