You are here: Home > FAQs > A cure for Stringhalt IS THERE A CURE FOR STRINGHALT? I have wrestled with Stringhalt over the years and there is not a simple answer as to whether the condition is caused by a plant or some sort of deficiency. I tend to believe it is actually due to a fungal infection, which is found on a variety of plants, and may in turn be due to something we put on our pastures. While Magnesium is important to healthy nerves, and many of the herbs I use to treat the condition nowadays are naturally high in Magnesium, I am not at all sure that an inorganic magnesium supplement helps at all. There are also some suggestions that the condition can be a result of super phosphate poisoning in susceptible horses. My stringhalt program consists of: Herbs: Comfrey, Dandelion, Mugwort, Pine Bark, Sage, Saw Palmetto, Valerian (all 1:1 extracts except for Dandelion which is in 1:10 Tincture form.) Homeopathic: Magnesium Phosphate - tissue salt. And from the Bach Flower Range; Rescue Remedy, Heather, Vine, Elm and Vervain. This course is given over a 12week period and a single dose each day of yogurt (acidophilus), about a couple of dessertspoons, is given as well. This whole program is a little complex and crazy sounding, but over about 8 years of development I have now got a pretty reliable treatment working. I have probably struggled over stringhalt more than any other condition in either man or beast. The mix is to be found on my website at the following link; http://herbal-treatments.com.au/horse_stringhalt_herbal_treatment.html You may order directly from the link above. I look forward to helping your older horse to see if we can make a difference. © 2003 Herbal-HorseKeeping.Com. All Rights Reserved. |
