Equine Allergies
Allergies in horses or humans are never fun. When left untreated can turn into a chronic condition. Traditional treatment would be antihistamines with some anti-inflammatories. Typically that would ease the symptoms but once the treatment ended the allergies would reappear. Allergies are not just skin-deep but may require us to look at where the allergic response starts in the kidney and liver.
Allergies can be a sign that the kidney and liver are taxed and need additional support. Supporting the kidney and liver you clear away any toxins and allow them to function normally.
Horses can have allergies to a variety of substances, including food, medications, environmental factors, and insects. Symptoms include:
- Skin irritation: Hives, rashes, itching, or hair loss
- Respiratory issues: Coughing, sneezing, wheezing, or nasal discharge
- Eye irritation: Watery eyes or frequent eye rubbing
