Herbs for
broken wind
Q My pony is 18 years old and suffers from being broken winded.
I do light exercise everyday as instructed by my vet and use various
remedies.

As my pony
has got older the medications do not deem to be working so well
as they used to. Is there anything you can recommend that I should
try?
A. It
is very dificult to get over such problems but I have had quite
considerable success with many cases. The trick is to use products
that keep the airways open but also desensitises the lungs and help
clear mucus and debris which has accumulated inside.
My approach
is to use two herbal formula, one which soothes all the soreness
which is continously present and one to tackle the immune imbalance
which lies at the heart of the problem. I have found very good
results after about a three months of treatment.
An alternative
is the long use of chemical drugs such as Ventipulmin which can
help greatly with mild types of problem but which will never get to
the root cause.
If
in doubt ring for advice. We're here to help.
