Herbs have been used to doctor animals for millennia, but sadly it's tough to find information on how to use them in our modern age. Today I'm so thrilled to be joined by Dr. Patrick Jones-- a veterinarian, naturopath, and herbalist who knows this topic inside and out. Dr. Jones sheds light on the complexities of herbal dosages, species-specific risks, and the profound impact these treatments can have on our animals from household pets to livestock. He packed this interview with loads of practical, actionable information and you'll walk away with tons of ideas on how to naturally treat your cows, goats, chickens, dogs, and more!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Why does there seem to be a void in information about using herbs for animalsHow you can use herbs for different types of livestockHow herbs work vs. modern medicineTalking about daily supplement herbsHow to get animals to take herbsFiguring out dosages Common ailments in farm animals (and how to treat them)Get instant access by growing your own herbsFoundational top five herbs Favorite veterinary herbal success storyRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Learn more about Dr. Patrick Jones here: https://homegrownherbalist.net/Find Dr. Patrick Jones videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@HomeGrownHerbalistA BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR!The Modern Homesteading Conference will be held in Coeur D'alene, ID June 28 & 29th, 2024.
