Horses and Homeopathy - A Pocket Guide

The Horses are unique animals which have evolved and adapted to a huge range of environments and lifestyles. Homeopathy too has evolved – we have expanded and added to our knowledge of the remedies since Hahnemann’s time. We understand them more intrinsically and can apply them more effectively in treating ill health and disease through a deeper insight. In this handy guide, Tim Couzens has brought together information from over 20 years experience in veterinary practice. Each chapter covers a different area of the body or system, as well as infectious diseases, the foal, behavioural problems and first aid. Under each section are brief descriptions of common problems listed next to the suggested remedy, potency and dose in a comprehensible, easy-to-use format. With experience and a good basic knowledge of equine health problems, careful observation and detailed remedy knowledge, readers can use the information to help treat, resolve or provide support for a vast range of conditions. This book fulfils a need for a quick, accurate, practical and up to date book that should appeal to a wide audience - owners, yard managers and veterinary surgeons alike.

Tim Couzens qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1980 and attended some of the very first courses to be held for vets at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital in Great Ormond Street, gaining his VetMFHom in 1991. In 1995 he established the Holistic Veterinary Centre in Lewes, East Sussex which employs two other veterinary surgeons and four lay staff and offers not only homeopathy but also acupuncture, herbal medicine, flower essences and chiropractic. He is consultant to a number of companies producing natural medicines for animals and has written for several magazines. He has also contributed to a number of books on homeopathy and complementary medicine but has a special interest in treating horses homeopathically.
