Natural Remedies for Laminitis in Horses

Horse’s hooves have to support the entire body. Hoof care must be the foundation for complete health care. In this episode, April discusses various hoof issues and effective solutions for maintaining healthy hooves. Whether you’re dealing with laminitis, foundered horses, or general hoof health, these insights can make a significant difference.

Bodily Detox and Nutrition, the Cornerstone of Hoof Health

The journey to healthy hooves begins with a thorough detox. Horses accumulate toxins from various sources like vaccinations and chemical wormers. A targeted detox regimen may help to alleviate this burden on their systems. By supporting the liver and kidneys, we can effectively remove heavy metals and poisons, laying the foundation for robust hoof health. It is also important to consider selecting a high-quality nutrition plan that is low in sugars and proteins, ensuring ease of digestion, especially for senior horses with limited chewing capacity. No matter what you feed your horse, they may not be able to assimilate it’s benefits without a good detox first.

Recommended Detox Regimen: Give 15 drops of Natural Cellular Defence (NCD) Liquid Zeolite 4 times a day on a non-sugary treat such as an apple or carrot.

Amazing Easy Hoof Soak Detox

When it comes to laminitis, foundered horses, and general hoof health, discover the transformative power of hoof soaks! By combining warm water with Epsom salt, and Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals, this concoction not only aids in detoxification but also addresses issues such as bruising, inflammation, and bacterial/fungal infections. The frequency of hoof soaks may vary based on the specific needs of the horse and the severity of the hoof issues.

Recommended Regimen: Mix 32oz of warm water with 1 cup of Epsom salt, and 2 full droppers of Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals in a shaker bottle. Put a UC Davis soaker boot on the horse and fill the boot with the solution. Let rest for 1 hour. Repeat 3 days in a row at least two times a year.
