HOMEOPATHIC natural medicine
Homeopathics have no smell nor taste to them. Are available in the form of: tiny poppy pills, granules, tablets or in clear liquid form (which will have alcohol added to it as a preservative) The most important thing to remeber is that it is not the amount of liquid or pills given each time but rather the repeat (frequency) a homeopathic remedy is given. Less time inbetween each dose will give a quick response in acute stress. How many pills or drops given each time is less important, however the frequency of repeat dosing. For example A dose of homeopathic (clear liquid) remedy could be from one to 100 pills or tablets or drops given is still considered one (1) dose. It is not the amount given at one time but the frequency of repeats is the important factor for faster response and relief.
DOSING using tiny PILLS (or tablets )
A dose: approx. 2 to 3 tiny pills ( or crush ) and put in gum or pouch of mouth for the saliva to absorb (no need to open pets mouth) If using homeopathic tissue salts large tablets always crush first. Alternatively, can stir a couple of pills or crush tablets into water bowl, trough or food. Usually the white pills or tablets are more suitable for the medium or larger animals as they have larger mouths, making it easier to administer orally.
DOSING using Homeopathic LIQUID.
A dose: approx. three to four drops. Put on top of head or back of shoulders on the body (wet area with drops and pat into fur), or add to meals, or put in animal’s water bowl or trough. Alternatively, give a short squirt orally (if free from alcohol) made up from one pill from your bottle and combined with filtered water. This is best for small animals, rather than using the pill directly. Usually this method is less stressful and easier for administering to cats and other small species, including wildlife. BIRDS AND FARM ANIMALS Put several drops or a few pills in water trough once a week. (Does not matter if other animals share water trough or bowl - only the ones that need it will benefit from it). If you received homeopathic PILLS, then you can make the pills into a LIQUID medication for easier dosing. Refer to: EXAMPLE DIAGRAM BELOW this text.
When do I need to do frequent Dosing for my pet?
ANY TIME if the animal is showing acute symptoms and /or stress. Give the selected remedy more frequently. “FREQUENT” Dosing will give fast relief eg a dose every 5 minutes, usuallly after the third repeat pet will be calm and relaxed.
How to make a homeopathic “liquid remedy” from a homeopathic pill.
1. One dose – put 1 pill (or a pinch of granules) into an empty clean cup or small bottle. Add approx 10ml to of filtered water into the container (or you can use the oral syringe). or stir in a dose to approx. 1/4 cup to half a cup of filtered water and use 10cc/mls orally as one dose, repeating as often as needed to get results. Make up a new batch when run out.
Only mix this small amount as required, as homeopathics do not store well for any longer than 2 weeks when mixed with water. (Granules can be identified as resembling grains of sand)
2. Gently succuss (bang) the bottle (or syringe / container) against your palm or a book for approximately a minimum 50 times.
If using an open container, stir in well for 1 minute.
Note: Pills or granules will not completely dissolve, but the remedy will be released into the liquid on contact. Draw liquid into the syringe and use to medicate your animal. It can be administered as a short squirt orally (into the side of mouth or lip) OR by putting several drops onto the body (usually on the back of the neck or the head).For longer term or chronic treatment, can be added to meals and filtered water bowl each time you change it. It is not the amount given each time that matters so much, but rather the frequency the remedy is given throughout the day for efficency.
Herbal Natural Medicines *brown liquid
Herbs that hampl supply are offere in liquid formulas only. N.B. Please refer to: hampl bottle label for suggested dosage and freqency. Herbs have a strong smell and taste, compared to homeopathic medicines (no smell or taste, as clear liquid or white pills). If you buy herbs, the best form is as a liquid or dry leaf (make a tea), as liquid herbs work faster and go through the blood stream much quicker. Herbal tablets need to be crushed and given in food, which is then processed through the stomach. This is far less effective and you would need more herbal tablets to get the same quick results as you get with liquid herbal dosing.
Refer to: hampls bottle label for recommended frequency of repeat dosing during the day. N.B. always dilute herbal formulas before giving to pets / animal.
Small to Med – Med to Large dog
Mix in food and hand feed small pieces at a time, then feed as normal. Have several tins of sardines in spring water and mashe up and add herbal drops plus any vitamins and supplemenst you are also wanting to give ( crush tablets) and hand feed it or offer as a small meal. Repeat mixture twice a day as suggested on label bottle.
Small animals : you could try adding to meals or some pink salmon meat (use human-grade salmon please).
Horse / farm animals: add drops to food or onto a piece of carrot, apple or bread and hand feed herbs this way. Unless you have a supply of dry herbs, you can add with feed.
Or
alternatively you can dilute herbs in some some fluid, such as slippery elm powder mixed up with lots of filtered water and add herbs and supplements to this oral syringe in side of mouth until all mixture is gone. Small animals (e.g. cat, rabbit, toy dog, infant animals) Try mixing some herbal drops into some pink salmon juice and offer in a bowl or slippery elm powder water mix and oral syringe… slowly squirt small amounts until the recommend pet dose is given.
