Clinical Application of Chinese Herbal Medicine in Equine Practice

Emily Mangan et al. Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has been used for the treatment of equine diseases for thousands of years. Clinical studies have found Chinese herbal medicine to be an effective treatment for a variety of equine conditions, and extensive toxicology studies performed on more than 12,000 Chinese herbs provide guidance for safe administration in the horse. Chinese herbal medicine may be used for preventive medicine as well as an integrative or complementary modality for common equine diseases and injuries.
