Pets don't talk to me either, but they don't need to. I see the results of bad diet and misguided conventional medicine every day. Pet therapy techniques can be used for a wide variety of medical conditions. For example, a physical therapist working with a person recovering from a stroke might bring a dog to a therapy session and have the patient brush the dog to help improve their motor skills.

Herbal remedies formulated for humans may not be suitable for animals and some may be harmful. Herbal remedies exist which gently stimulate the kidneys. Arthritis is a debilitating condition for older animals. Herbal remedies should be used under the guidance of a practitioner familiar with herbal medicine.

acupuncture

Acupuncture is also helpful. Acupuncture is best used alongside an integrated herbal and dietary programme, as originally intended in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Needling alone can have effects, but they can fall far short of the best responses achieved in a full holistic programme. Acupuncture is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians. These meridians end up at organs in the body, and illness is the result of a blockage of the energy flow to these organs.

Acupuncture?s effects on internal organs and on ?balancing? the body as a whole is less well understood and more research is necessary to fully explain this ancient therapy. Acupuncture visits are $50.00 including the visit, and $30.00 for each additional animal. For calls outside the area there will be an extra charge to cover mileage costs and time, depending on the distance. Acupuncture side effects are rare. Since herbs are medicinal, there can be side effects and drug interactions with western medicine can occur.

Acupuncture, herbal therapy, and others have also been used on animals. Acupuncture may help restore ovulation in patients . Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, etc., supposedly restore well-being by rebalancing the flow of this mystical essence. Qigong is a set of mental and physical exercises akin to those of Tai Chi Chuan and Ai-ki-do that also promise spiritual and physical benefits by channeling this mysterious energy.

information

Information arranged by herbs and supplements, conditions and alternative modalities. Information is given on the use and interest of such therapy among veterinarians and animal owners. Homeopathy as other alternative therapies, may offer great advances, if they induce any effect.

tcm

TCM is quackery nonsense; I am no friend of big pharmacy but I personally prefer fact based medicine. And then for these cures to not even work! TCM includes acupuncture, acupressure and herbal alternative medicines. Canine arthritis, for example, seems to lessen after TCM treatments when all conventional treatments have failed. TCM has a unique model of the body , notably concerned with the meridian system . Unlike the Western anatomical model which divides the physical body into parts, the Chinese model is more concerned with function.

Herbs played an important role in Ayurvedic medicine. The main book on surgery, the Sushruta Samhita, lists some 600 herbal remedies. Herb records can be selected from the alphabetized lists or the full list of herbs can be browsed.
