Natural Medicine for Animals What is Natural medicine? Holistic, Alternative, Natural or Complementary? Two facts are helpful for clarity and objective thinking. Not all 'holistic' or 'alternative' medicine is natural, in the strictest meaning of the term. LASER therapy is not natural but can be very beneficial. Poisonous plants, arsenic and snake venom are all natural but may not be very beneficial (depending upon the context). Not all natural things are safe. However, at the AVMC we rejoice in working with nature as much as possible and we never ceased to be amazed by the results of stimulating the body's innate and natural healing capability. The words 'natural', 'green' and 'nature' have become widely exploited by commercial interest. Be wary of commercial claims and product names that exploit the terms. Beware 'The King's New Clothes'. The words 'green', 'nature' and 'natural' are used in such a way as to prevent the listener or reader questioning the material. Do you remember the boy who hadn't been told about the King's New Clothes? Whenever these words are used to support an assertion or a commercial interest, take a really objective look and you might see the real 'King' behind the illusion. natural vet - complementary vet - alternative vet - holistic vet

These approaches represent a philosophy that is alternative to the current conventional norm but the use of alternative therapies does not do away with the need for a thorough examination and assessment. Nor does it preclude the use of modern diagnostic techniques where necessary. A holistic vet will take into account all these things, in addition to closely scrutinising lifestyle, diet, environment, riding, tack, shoeing, grazing, stabling, management etc., depending upon the species.
