Animal Naturopathy
When our pets have physical issues, we would love to switch places. When their mental health is bad, we would love to take their pain away, But the only thing we can do is be there, grounded, be their rock when they need us and give them anything they need.
But what do they need? Sometimes people think that animals will know what medicine or herb they would need. Unfortunately most animals are so domesticated living a modern more human life than their ancestors, so a lot of times, they have no clue. With that being said, they don't know the names of illnesses we people labeled or the medicine we made.
So what I like to do is work with their feelings and thoughts. Working with their energy body telling me where there is energy stuck or too much. But also I would like to know what elements are too heavy or none present (as in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine).
As I work with plants in aromatherapy, Bach flower remedies, herbology, homeopathy and 'just' plant medicine, a lot of times the right remedy will come to mind. And if it is possible, I love to use it as organically as possible, for example: for a bunny to eat dandelion, for a dog to eat rosehip, etc. I will always stay as close to nature as possible.
