Santa Cruz Sentinel: Herbs for Your Pet

USEFUL PRODUCTS - continued

3. DEEP LUNG. This formula is most useful in stage 2 after 18 hours when the infection may have descended into the bronchi or lower or have changed into the bacterial stage. It is very effective.
4. ELDERBERRY PLUS. This formula contains no sugar, but relies on a thick concentration of the berries themselves is useful for COUGH as well as a tonic for the lungs, and immunity. It is well received by young children.
5. ASTRAGALUS. This is best applied in stage 3 and in the re-cooperative stages until the natural energy (chi) has returned. It is especially useful in cold and wet lung conditions. Do not use for a dry lung condition or if it appears to increase coughing.
6. IMMUNITY PLUS. A comprehensive herbal immune tonic best used for 3 weeks before exposure to infection or throughout the entire season by susceptible patients.
7. OLIVE. This is a strong anti-microbial, especially anti-viral that many find useful when experiencing viral eruptions, such as herpes.
8. USNEA. This is another strong anti-microbial many find useful when experiencing respiratory and urinary infections.
9. CHINESE EAR OIL. This is an effective topical application for ear pain. NOTE: It stains clothing and needs to be stored in the refrigerator except for the time needed for an active infection.
10. MULLEIN EAR OIL. This topical oil is useful after the active ear infection if over, but it is necessary to use something to continue addressing the ear for another week.
11. LYMPH OIL. This topical oil is applied in lymph rich areas such as the neck or groin area to facilitate the movement of overburdened lymph glands in the removal of infection waste material. I use it extensively with children (and adults) with ear aches, and swollen throat glands. It has been helpful for children with chronic ear infections.
12. ECHINACEA. This is a mild lymph mover useful in fighting infection.
13. PHYTOLACCA. This is a strong lymph mover useful in fighting sore throats and infection. CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED DOSE RECOMMENDATIONS!
14. NASO-CLEAR. This is phenolated (anti-microbial) Irish moss used topically to soothe and shrink swollen membranes of nose and throat.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS

Herbs to induce sweating are especially good for the first stage of infection. These include peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and chamomile. Add a pinch of cayenne to enhance therapeutic value. Any hot beverages and foods are useful such as chicken bone broth or egg drop soup, consume or miso. Hold them in your hands and inhale the hot aromas.For cough, slippery elm with honey, or lemon with fresh berry puree and honey (and ½ tsp. brandy) is appealing.I encourage the use of fresh, organic, non-GMO (gene modified organism) produce, and free range grass and organic feed fed cattle as well as chickens for meat and eggs.
