Garlic (Allium sativum)
One of the most widely used and respected herbs in both human and animal health, garlic has a long history as a natural medicine and tonic. Revered across cultures—from ancient Egyptians to WWII medics—garlic remains a staple in equine care today.
Garlic is a powerful immune system stimulant, known for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties. It supports respiratory health, helps repel some insects, and aids circulation through its blood-thinning and vasodilatory effects. Rich in sulphur, it promotes healthy skin and coat, while quercetin, a natural bioflavonoid, gives it anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy benefits.
In the digestive system, garlic can target harmful pathogens without disturbing beneficial gut flora and may help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancers.
Actions: Natural antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-allergy, anticoagulant, vasodilator, expectorant.
Note: Use garlic in moderation—excessive amounts can irritate the gut or lead to Heinz-body anaemia. Avoid use in chronically scouring horses, and use caution when feeding to lactating mares. Always consult your vet or equine herbalist before combining with blood-thinning medications.
