With Winter just around the corner our horses immune response is going to be under additional pressure from colds, coughs and viral infections.

Our herbal horse supplement Equimmune is rich in Echinacea purpurea root which contains masses of echinosides the constituent primarily responsible for the plants actions. Use Equimmune to help ensure your horses immunity and immune response is given the maximum support at any time of the year. For horses with those troublesome lumps and bumps our customers tell us that Winter is the time to start using the Equimmune because there are less flies around to irritate the skin. We recommend using our VireX cream in conjunction with Equimmune at this time 

 Contains: Echinacea purpurea root, Gotu Kola leaf, Milk Thistle seed, Cleaver herb, Nettle leaf, Burdock root, Rosehip shells.

Echinacea species are becoming more and more popular for use as garden flowers in herbaceous borders. They come in a variety of fantastic colours, are easy to grow and flower year after year.

At Hilton Herbs we use Echinacea purpurea, and we only use the roots of the plant, this is because the root is where the highest concentration of echinosides are found. It is the echinosides that are responsible for the plant's action and are the reason it can help support and maintain the body's immune response. Echincea herb (the aerial parts) of the plant is much cheaper to buy but only contains very low levels of Echinosides, which confirms that old adage "you get what you pay for"!
