Description
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 Turmeric were used for pain . Guaiacum was traditionally used for Gout and Burdock as a blood cleanser for Rheumatoid processes. Pine Bark, Rosehips, Elecampane for its Allantoin content together with Yarrow in a Vinegar base all support repair.
These herbs have been traditionally used to manage pain and support in the healing process. This formulation may be used safely for both emergencies and in the long term for comfort.

His health has improved out of sight and he is a very “happy horse”. His resting HR has gone from the high 40’s to 34 on the weekend with a lot going on in the undercover area where the horses were checked. I was very proud of him. His performance throughout the ride was exceptional. It took the full 30 minutes of strapping to have him drop to 54, the weather was extremely humid and the water pressure was very low making it a wee bit difficult to get that core temp cooled in his body.
Overall I was very impressed with his performance for the weekend. Again thank you for your advice with feeding him a great diet of Linseed, Copra and Speedibeet along with the Alleviate.
Regards and keeping you in the loop for another successful ride.
