Herbs for laminitis/founder

[jenh916@yahoo.comStudent]

What are the best herbs for horse/donkey with laminitis?  Also what to use for white line and chronic thrush in the frog?

I’m wondering if thrush could be an internal issue.  Should I be treating internally instead of just topical?

I would love to know what herbs would be beneficial for helping with laminitis! As far as thrush, horses get that pretty easily in wet conditions. Keeping their areas as dry as possible is the best preventative. That being said, we have had phenomenal success with a product called “White Lightening.” It has been the best thing we’ve used to clear up both white line and thrush.

Donkeys seem to get white line and thrush really easily maybe because they come from a more arid environment and aren’t adapted to moist climates. Anyway, I’ve used “White Lightening” with good success. Also colloidal silver did wonders for my white line disease. I also have been impressed with a product I was just given that used bentonite clay as the base and has tea tree and maybe some other essential oils in it. The clay seems to press nicely up into their hoof as they walk. It was even still there the next time I picked their feet out! And the thrush was way less.
