Since prehistoric times, humans have been using plants, animals and other products found in nature to cure and alleviate disease. It was only in the 19th century that chemicals were gaining in popularity and subsequently used in what we now call the “Modern Medicine Era”. In the last decade the development of new druks has now begun to reach its limit.

We see this in the increase in “incurable chronic diseases” and most recently in the development of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms. For this and many other reasons, including ecological health, there is a major demand for Sustainable Medicine. Traditional Oriental Medicine is one of the main components in this drive in Sustainable Veterinary Medicine.

Traditional Oriental Veterinary Medicine has four main components; Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Food Therapy and Tui-na. Over the last 50 years the popularity of complimentary medicine has grown exponentially in the Veterinary community and in the past owners society. Of the four oriental modalities, Herbal medicine is the easiest to integrate into a Veterinary practice.
