For centuries people have been making use of plant properties for the healing of all kinds of ailments and injuries.

Plants and particularly herbs, contain a large number of naturally occurring chemicals (constituents) that have some type of biological activity.

​

The herbal part of a remedy may come from the leaf, flower, stem, seed, root, fruit or bark of the plant and it may be used to treat wounds and a range of other conditions.

​

In recent times, the use of herbs to treat many health issues in our horses and other animals has become more and more popular.

​

At BTB we stock a range of medicinal herbs as well as concentrates for practitioners needing ingredients for making the bases for their herbal treatments.
