In the Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary
the word “anthelmintic” is derived from
Greek “anti”, which means “against”,
and “helminis”, meaning “worm” –
which in effect means “to kill or destroy
worms or parasites”.
The Power of Nature
Nature is such a wonderful thing, in
that so many of its elements were
intended to work together. There are
varieties of seeds and herbs that when
blended together will not only help to
expel parasites, but will also assist in
destroying most parasites (including
most protozoa) along with their larvae
or eggs, while preventing parasitic
infestations. There are also plants found
in pastures with high amounts of tannins,
including chicory, yellow & green
plantain (also sometimes called horse
mint) along with coalt’s foot, echinacea,
and raspberry cane, that have been
shown to have natural properties which
seem to be effective in parasite control
and management… Horses have been
known to, and will, seek out these kinds
of plants and/or beneficial weeds for that
reason.
