Wild Yam and the Horse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wild Yam or Dioscorea oppositifolia<\/em>, commonly referred to as the Chinese Yam, is one unique herb that has been used for thousands of years to benefit various aspects of health.\u00a0 Interestingly enough, this is one herb that is commonly overlooked when it comes to equine health and soundness.<\/p>\n

For many horse owners, they are seeking specific benefits to an herb or food, which may or may not be applicable in a broader sense.\u00a0 Targeting or managing inflammation and pain is one key area that many seek, and though there are thousands of herbs that can benefit this aspect of horse health, again, no one herb is right for each horse.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Herbs have energies and traditional uses to them.\u00a0 While many, if not most herbs, do possess capabilities to modulate the inflammatory response, their energies are different.\u00a0 Some herbs are viewed as being cool, cold or even warm or hot.\u00a0 This is their energy.\u00a0 Then, additionally, herbs are viewed as having specific tropisms or organ systems which they target in their action. The energy and tropism of the specific herb is what dictates whether it would be appropriate and beneficial to your horse, or potentially harmful.\u00a0 The only way to determine this is to find the pattern that is present within your horse at that point in time.\u00a0 Another push to visit the online course<\/a><\/span> mentioned below!\u00a0 Help yourself to some information and then help your horse.<\/p>\n
