Equimins -Nettles

Nettle contains high levels of vitamins and minerals essential for a healthy skin and coat. Nettles are primarily diuretic and blood cleansing therefore often used for laminitis and arthritis to clear congestion. It is also excellent for horses competing in very strenuous or power demanding activities.

Nettle helps support the circulatory system, in particular the circulation to the extremities, at the same time encouraging effecient elimination of toxins.

Nettle are very rich in good building materials. You can use nettle on your horse as support for: 

• Kidney, bladder and urinary tract problems
• Skin conditions and bumps
• Insect bites and mites
• Allergic skin problems such as Sweet itch or an pollen allergy
• Disturbed blood sugar levels such as in PPID and metabolic syndrome
• Joint pain
• Accumulation of waste, for example after illness or after the winter
• Disturbed intestinal flora and digestion
• Joint pain

In periods when your horse builds up a lot of waste products, for example during stress, fatigue or great exertion, nettle can help to remove the waste and clean the blood vessels. It may be wise to regularly (for example every quarter) give a cure of nettle to purify your horse's body and give it a "boost" again. Give a powerful boost with nettle in a cure of 14 days, no longer is necessary for the purifying effect.
