Nettles In Horses
by rwoodley - August 24, 2019
Can nettles be used in horses for grass associated dermatitis, and in what form and dose?
I am treating a client's dog very successfully with Nettles and she asked me about her horse. I don't treat horses and my main concern is that she will purchase an online version and try it out. I mostly want to warn her about possible problems and make sure she doesn't overdose if she pursues it herself.

Hi there

I don't see a problem at all with trying it. It will probably help relieve the itch. I would suggest two to three times the normal human dose, or perhaps a tsp mixed in some mash up to four times daily.

Thank you so much! Would you use the leaf only or the leaf and root? I'll let you know if it works.

The aerial portions are the ones that address allergies
