'Herbal Teas - an underutilized Medicine for Animals' Webinar Presented by Dr Barbara Fougere

About the Webinar

Teas - decoctions and infusions of plant material were part of orthodox veterinary medicine in our western veterinary history, described in texts prior to the first veterinary school (in the Farriers dispensatory 1721  by William Gibson who started one of the first veterinary schools) and in veterinary text books through the 1800s and into the 1900s. These useful medicines were well regarded but have been forgotten and therefore underutilised in contemporary practice. This paper revisits the use of a few specific teas and their evidence base as medicines.
