An itchy horse is not a pretty sight. Too many horses end up scratching themselves raw or rubbing off their coats as they try and find relief from their discomfort.

So many horses have skin problems and it is so unnecessary. As with people, skin problems in horses are a sign of a deeper underlying heath problem.

Nearly all horse itch is preventable, and most of itch responds very well to herbs.

Toxicity is one cause of itching.

Parasites such as flies, ticks and mites are other common causes of itching in horses.

The best way to prevent itch in your horse is to maintain its health with as natural a diet as possible, and supplement with herbs.

Itch from Toxicity

January 30th, 2010

The skin is the largest organ in the body – its job is to provide a physical barrier to physically protect what’s inside it. But more importantly, the skin is a very important detoxifying organ.

The liver breaks down toxins, metabolic wastes  and poisons into a form that the kidneys can handle. The kidneys then filter these out of the blood and excrete them as urine.

If the liver and kidneys are in any way overloaded, compromised, or unhealthy, the skin will pick up the load and begin to rid the body of these wastes. This is the same whether you are a human, a horse, a dog or any other animal.

While it is better for you to continue to cleanse yourself by excreting toxins and wastes through your skin than it is for those things to remain in your body, there is a side effect.

Toxins and wastes are often acidic, and they are nearly always irritating.

If they stay on the skin they cause skin irritation – and you start scratching.

This is also true for animals.

Herbs for Itch

Weekends, in the middle of the night, whilst overseas or out camping are all times when medical help is not as readily available as you might like. This is when a well stocked first aid kit comes in handy, and there are many safe, simple and economical natural remedies that can be of assistance until more help is at hand.

Insect stings respond very well to an application of Nettles ointment. I have used Nettles successfully with wasps, fleas, mozzies, ants, leeches, ticks and march flies. And of course, close encounters with Nettles herself. Apart from the fact that it works quickly, the best thing about this remedy is that the sting does not continue to come up itchy again in the following days and weeks.You can also make up Nettles Tea and apply it as a lotion compress. Nettles tea is available to buy by clicking the icon immediately below.

If applied immediately Nettles as an ointment or lotion / compress will soothe the bite within ten minutes (and that will usually be the last you think of it). If its still itchy after ten minutes, repeat the application at ten minute intervals until you have relief. Three times is nearly always enough.

Be aware that Nettles ointment will only relieve the itch from ticks. It is VITAL that the tick is removed fully by the head and any other symptoms watched for and immediately treated because tick bites can quickly prove fatal.

Chickweed is another good remedy for itching this time for the itching of eczema and psoriasis. You can also take it as a tea for eczema or psoriasis. Chickweed is a herb that you can both put on the outside while you are taking it on the inside. Chickweed ointment is very soothing if the skin is really dry.

My Soothing Itch Balm is absolutely wonderful for people, horses and dogs – click below for more information and to buy.

(But do not use Soothing Itch Balm on cats – they are very sensitive and the essential oils in this formula are way too strong for cats to use it safely).
