Homeopathy for animals

In the veterinary medicine the current trend is increasingly directed towards naturopathic, holistic methods of treatment. It has always been the aim of naturopathy to eliminate etiology, the cause of disease, which triggers a variety of symptoms, as well as to activate the bodily functions to perform self healing and to stabilize the self defences of the body.

Homeopathy has taken the greatest and most important position within the range of naturopathic methods of treatment. This is a therapy using medicaments, which have been tried and tested on healthy organisms and are prescribed in a potentized form in accordance with the simillimum principle ("Law of Similars").

The physician Samuel Hahnemann took up this principle from the medical perceptions that had been in existence from the times of Hippocrates and Paracelsus, which he methodically worked upon and processed for practical application. All vital knowledge concerning homeopathy is contained and summarized in his book "Organon of Medicine" - which was published in 1810. ¹)

On principle, homeopathy always has prospects of success, if there is a possibility for the activation and regulation of the bodily reactions. Therefore homeopathy is comprehensively and universally applicable.

Homeopathy is increasingly employed in the treatment of domestic animals kept for the production of foodstuffs for one further significant reason: requirements pertaining to foodstuffs, which may not contain residual chemical substances such as medicinal products, are stipulated in consumer protection directives. The EU-Directive 2091/92 therefore stipulates that the animals which are kept in ecologically friendly establishments should be treated preferentially with homeopathic and phytotherapeutic remedies. Furthermore, our homeopathic products are free from preservatives, meaning that they correspond to the EU directives in their full entirety.
The important economic aspects of homeopathic treatment with relation to animal husbandry are obvious: no extended waiting periods (for meat and milk), no problems with residuals - and at the same time relatively low expenditure for medicines, high tolerance and a high rate of treatment success. No resistant pathogens can be formed in the course of the homeopathic treatment. And now some information to do with the theme of environment: neither the production of homeopathic products nor the excretion thereof has a detrimental influence on the environment.

The appropriate diagnosis is more difficult to achieve for an animal than for a human, as an animal is not able to communicate by means of language. However the simple and complex medicines comprising the WERAVET- und REGUL-ranges, which were developed in the course of decades of practice and expertise, can be employed in the treatment of entire complexes of symptoms. These so-called "tried and tested indications " have been determined in the form of reactive focuses und as a result of therapeutic experience from specific parts of the medicine picture. The right remedy for the treatment can be determined rapidly using this method. For this reason WERAVET und REGUL are well suited as the introduction to homeopathy. But experienced therapists also cherish this practical, reliable product range.

The most important areas of application in the animal husbandry sector as well as the small animal sector are covered by WERAVET and REGUL. The treatment with the product ranges is likewise indicated for all age groups in animals (also for pups and other young animals), for the treatment of both acute and chronic diseases (chronic courses of disease, in particular, defy the "classical" methods of treatment). Creativity and intuition - and above all practice and experience will open new opportunities of treatment to the therapist.
