We all know smoke can be toxic and affect the lungs and respiratory tract. Smoke affects every living being, it can do damage before you realise it.

Horses should not be worked in smokey conditions, if they must work then keep it to low exertion over minimal time. If they’re worked hard then they may do irreparable damage to the lungs. I see many horses with breathing problems when we have little air pollution so please keep this in mind.

Quite a number of fabulous firies have benefited from my herbal concentrate Cough it Up, others have done well with Wheeze Ease. Both Cough it Up and Wheeze Ease are suitable for humans as well as horses, dogs and any other critters. (You won’t start whinnying if you take these products – I promise!)

So what’s the difference?

Cough it Up
– contains a powerful herbal expectorant (pulls rubbish up and out of the lungs and airways)                   
– bronchial vasodilator (makes it easier to breathe)                   
– boosts the immune system                   
– calms the cough reflex                   
– fights infection.

It’s the first thing to grab if you think you or your horse may be coming down with a cold or ‘flu.

Wheeze Ease
– for those who are affected by respiratory allergies or sensitivities which makes them wheeze.                       
– anti-allergen                       
– helps to eliminate toxins particularly from the upper respiratory tract.

I am reducing the regular price of both of these products by 15% for the remainder of January. Remember the quicker you treat any ailment the easier it is for the body to respond so not allowing the condition to become chronic.
