Natural Therapies For Animals

Carole Bryant, Naturopath

(HATO accredited)

What is naturopathy?

Naturopathy is an holistic healing system that seeks out and treats the cause of ill health rather than just

the symptoms of disease. Naturopaths believe the body is able to heal itself if we provide it with the

materials it needs to do this. Naturopathy uses a variety of natural therapies and a plan is designed for

your pet according to their individual needs.

What happens when your pet visits a Naturopath?

You will be asked lots of questions – about your pet’s symptoms, history of illness, diet and exercise to help

determine your pet’s overall health and you will be given recommendations on appropriate diet, supplements,

exercise, etc. Follow up visits may be necessary to monitor your pet’s progress.

What is HATO?

The Holistic Animal Therapy Organisation (HATO) sets standards for training and education of its members.

HATO accreditation of practitioners ensures a high standard within the profession. Members must also adhere to

the HATO Code of Ethics.

Natural therapies & animals

Natural therapies provide a gentle means of assisting all animals to optimal health. I use nutrition, herbal

medicine, homoeopathy, iridology, flower essences, Tellington TTouch (Companion Animals & Horses), canine

craniosacral therapy, NAET allergy elimination, kinesiology, manipulative muscle therapy, massage, Theta

Healing, Thought Field Therapy & Reiki to help animals achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional health

whether they are valuable performance animals or simply much loved pets.

What are the various natural therapies used to improve the health of

your pet?

· Nutrition - uses vitamins, minerals and other nutritional substances to correct imbalances and def-

iciencies within the body. Diet plays a key role in providing this nutritional balance.

· Herbal medicine - uses traditional and modern knowledge of medicinal plants to bring about heal-

ing. Herbal tinctures are custom mixed according to individual needs.

· Homoeopathy - uses minute amounts of various substances (actually the vibrational energy of the

substance) to overcome disease and bring the body into balance. Homoeopathy acts on both the mental

and physical level.

· Iridology - not a therapy but a diagnostic tool. Iridology is used to assist in determining weak-

nesses and imbalances in the various tissues and organs of the body.

· Flower essences - uses the vibrational energy of flowers to act primarily on the emotional aspects

of healing.

· Tellington TTouch – use a combination of touches and ground exercises to improve an

animals’ physical, mental and emotional balance and wellbeing (see additional information on Tellington

TTouch below).

· CranioSacral balancing - a gentle, hands-on and deeply relaxing therapy that restores balance to

the body through the craniosacral system. Especially helpful for problems originating in the head or

spine.

· Massage - improves blood and lymph flow and relaxes muscular tension. Muscles hold the bones to-

gether, so balancing muscle tone can improve movement of joints and relieve pain.

· Manipulative Muscle Therapy - pain and dysfunction are often due to misalignment of muscles,

ligaments and tendons. Manipulative muscle therapy gently realigns these tissues to restore normal move-

ment and function.

· Kinesiology - uses a combination of touch, acupressure and massage to balance the body. Also used

to determine food intolerances/sensitivities.

· Theta Healing - a powerful tool that clears the negative unconscious beliefs which create blocks

to health and wellbeing.

· Thought Field Therapy (TFT) – clears anxiety/stress, trauma, phobias, self-sabotage, negative

behaviours, addictive behaviours and other emotional problems by clearing the associated negative emot-

ions.

· Reiki - channels universal energy to promote healing and a feeling of well being. Reiki is generally

calming and relaxing.

More about Tellington TTouch

When animals don’t do what we ask or expect of them, it is usually because they are physically, mentally or

emotionally unable to do so.

Tellington TTouch uses a combination of touches and ground exercises to improve an animal’s physical,

mental and emotional balance and wellbeing. Tellington TTouch is a very gentle therapy, suitable for all

animals from the very young to the very old and frail.

“When you know what you do, you can do what you want”.

Many animals lack awareness of their body and how they use their body. This creates stress and tension,

leading to behaviour problems and decreased performance potential. Tellington TTouch influences the animal’s

nervous system and the way it organises and uses its body. This gives the opportunity for change, leading to

improved awareness and movement patterns. As tension in the body is associated with many behavioural problems

such as lack of confidence, fear, defensive behaviour, fear of thunder, excessive vocalisation, inappropriate

chewing and other destructive behaviours, releasing this tension can also allow the animal to express more

appropriate behaviour.

Performance animals that never realise their potential and those that don’t fully recover their ability after

injury may be holding the memory of injury and the associated tension, at a cellular level (even if the injury

is an old one). Tellington TTouch can help release these tensions and allow the animal to reach its full potential.

Tellington TTouch also benefits elderly animals that are losing the ability to move freely due to pain and stiff-

ness.

If your animal displays inappropriate behaviour or performs below its maximum potential, Tellington TTouch

(and/or other natural therapies) may help. I have seen profound changes in the behaviour and performance of

animals after using Tellington TTouch and other natural therapies.
