NB: 48hrs withholding before competition or race days. Use Alleve8 Compete as an alternative.
This formulation has evolved from a consideration of the dangers of administering phenylbutazone (Bute) routinely to horses sensitive to its side effects. Traditionally White Willow Bark and Devils Claw were used to manage pain. Guaiacum was traditionally used for Gout and Burdock as a blood cleanser for Rheumatoid processes. Maritime Pine Bark, Rosehips, Elecampane with its Allantoin content , together with Yarrow in a Vinegar base all support and encourage repair.
This formulation may be used safely for both emergencies and in the long term for comfort.
The tonic will need to be given continuously for a minimum of 3 weeks, and can be maintained long term if necessary. Improvements are usually observed within 3-6 weeks on the tonic.
Fermented tonic to support a healthy microbiota.

Though once considered a rare issue seen primarily in older performance horses, increasing research and awareness have revealed that DSLD is more widespread and complex than originally thought, with systemic implications affecting multiple soft tissues throughout the body - not just the limbs.
There are two types of PSSM. Both types have an abnormal type of glycogen staining in muscle biopsies, and the types can be distinguished by genetic testing. At present there is not a specific genetic test for type 2 PSSM and scientists do not have conclusive evidence of an inherited gene.

Horses can easily live up to the age of 30 thanks to the mutual effort of owners, veterinarians and equine herbalists. While the worldwide senior population is growing, keeping the right weight of your elder steeds is crucial to racking up the years and can sometimes be a complex process.
A common enquiry at McDowells Herbal is if using Phenylbutazone or ‘Bute’ as it’s commonly known, is dangerous to health. ‘Bute’ is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat inflammation, pain and fever in animals...
I was recommended Alleviate for my pony who was experiencing early laminitis. I noticed that she was more comfortable within 2 hours of her first dose!

Alleviate Review
Fantastic product. My horse was in severe pain for three weeks and came good on the alleviate after 10-14 days. Will always keep this product in my medical kit going forward. Easy to administer and horse recovered quickly. Reversed the laminitic condition used in conjunction with tendon and bone bucket and infect-a-clear. Just brilliant, thank you.

Alleviate, plus other herbs
I have been using Alleviate now for a few months together with Infect-A-clear, ground millet and linseed plus kelp. I have noticed a huge difference in my mare. She was getting abcess after abcess, since I started her on the recommend McDowell herbs, she hasn't had one abcess. She looks happy and healthy, I definitely think her immune system has been given the boost she needed. Her abcesses were so bad my Vet was talking euthanasia, I wasn't ready for that, my friend recommend McDowell's and I'm forever grateful.
I have now reduced her original dose in half now, so she is on a maintenance program.

Used to relieve the pain of hoof abscess caused by lots of oat grain being in the oaten chaff I fed my pony.
My pony could not stand when I started her on Alleviate and Infect-a-Clear. Within 48 hours she was back on her feet. Her healing is progressing much more quickly than without these two products. Thanks McDowell Herbals for your advice and guidance.

Stiffness reduced
We have been using this with our mare along with tendon and bone mix as she has had previous injuries. She is blooming, moving so much better, can lift her hind legs higher for the farrier, and is happier in herself. Thank you.

Stiff horse doing well
This stuff is fantastic, it has made such a difference to our horse. Turned out after a wound, the horse was really stiff. Now moving like the old days and almost ready to bring back into light work.

Amazing pain relieving product
What a blessing to have found this product. Have used this with my laminitic pony, thoroughbred with a hoof injury that came to me after being retired from racing and more recently an older thoroughbred with an arthritic hock. They are all doing well. The pony and the horse with the hock are now on the "Infect-a-clear" too. I highly recommend everyone have alleviate on hand. Works well and safe to stay on for longer periods. I love that it does not disguise the pain but reduce it so the horses don't aggravate their injuries. I also love that I can ask as many questions and get great advice.

Used as part of RRV Treatment
Amazing product. Much better alternative then bute and have used this for over 8months with a huge improvemnt in mobility for a sick tb.
The tb showed stiffness and pain along with hoof problems and everything else that comes along with a virus.
I now have my glowing young gelding back! And will continue with this for sometime yet.
I cant thank Mcdowell's enough.

Alleviate!
I have a gelding who injured a hoof in a fence, an injury that nearly sliced a heel bulb off and cut through his coronary band into his hoof. It's slowly healing but it's a painful injury. Given the length of recovery time, normal bute is not a long term option and I turned to Alleviate. The difference in Aston is wonderful - within a week or two he went from being a very sad, sore horse to having his spark back, he's playing with the other horses again, he's barely lame and I noticed the healing accelerated with the reduction of inflammation. Alleviate WORKS. I can't speak highly enough of it as a safe, effective, long-term pain reliever. Thank you, McDowells Herbal.
