Herbal Detox 200g

This pack is ideal for using with a water buffet, or as a smaller taster sample pack.

Water buffets are becoming more common as a creative way to encourage horses to drink more, and offer additional paddock enrichment, particularly for horses on track systems. Alongside their normal source of water, a selection of flavoured waters offer variety, interest and behavioural and well-being benefits.

This is a blend of herbs particularly chosen for their detoxing and cleansing properties. This blend can be useful when a horse needs liver support or just generally needs a 'pick-me-up'. A short course can be useful in the Spring, or when worming.

Also available in Better Value Larger 1.8kg packs

Herbs in blend: Milk thistle, Burdock root, Dandelion root, Clivers, Liquorice and Nettle 

Feeding guidelines: Feed 30-50g a day


Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including Herbal Detox, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for full benefits to be seen.

There is a way to speed up the effect! By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse.

Ideally, add a ½ litre/pint of boiling water to the herbs to be given that day. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down the horses feed. If access to a kettle is not practical, soaking overnight in cold water will also help to release the active constituents.
