Which is better - dry or liquid herbal products?
Neither one is better than the other, the simple
difference is speed of initial absorption, with the liquid product
being absorbed more quickly than the dry. Occasionally a horse or pony
will respond better to a dry mix than a liquid, or vice versa, which
just reminds us that horses and ponies are individuals. Some people
prefer liquids as in the case of fussy feeders they can easily be
syringed down the animal's throat with a small plastic syringe.
1. Its not unusual for
your horse or pony to have a 'snotty nose' after a week or so being on
Freeway, this is just an indication that the herbs are doing their job.
2. Liquorice has been
used for both humans and animals for over 3,000 years, and was
mentioned in ancient Greek herbal in the third century BC. Its main
active constituent glycyrrhizin is responsible for the sweet taste and
is over fifty times sweeter than sugar! Up until the 1940's liquorice
was cultivated extensively in the north of England, this accounts for
the famous Pontefract Cakes, a soft coin shaped liquorice sweet that
was named after the Yorkshire town where they were made.
