A thought or two on homepathic remedies for equine care.
I have been fairly impressed with Hilton Herbs and particularily interested in the Virex Cream that they produce and market. There have been numerous reports from our customers of almost miraculous cures of sarcoids on horses with the use of this cream.
Virex Cream contains Witch Hazel Extract with its cooling, soothing, drying and astringent properties. The cream is safe to use on even the most sensitive areas, and should be applied once or twice daily.
The Ditton cream is formulated and manufactured by Hilton Herbs as I mentioned above. Hilton Herbs is the same company that produces Phytobalm cream. Taking the finest quality Calendula cream available they add the Witch Hazel extract, rich and effective Calendula oil and Thuja to create a highly effective and safe product.
Thuja is the traditional herbal and homeopathic plant for helping to support a healthy immune system. Ditton (Thuja) cream will not harm your horse even if ingested.
We recommend using it in conjunction with our Echinacea Plus if necessary.
The tincture of witch hazel has multifarious medicinal uses in all mammals and is beneficial when used externally to heal inflammation of the skin, sunburn, insect bites and stings, bruises, scratches, poison ivy/oak, diaper rash, eczema and bedsores.
The tincture of witch hazel may be applied externally either by soaking a cotton ball with some liquid and placing it on the affected area or directly spraying the liquid on the skin with the help of a sprayer bottle.
