Equine Phytotherapy: A Natural Approach to Horse Health

The use of plants offers a gentle and natural approach to managing a wide range of equine conditions such as summer dermatitis, limb swelling (stocking up/edema), or exertional myopathies. Phytotherapy is also widely used to help relieve joint pain, a common issue in both sport and leisure horses.

Thanks to these properties, herbal medicine is a preferred solution for maintaining optimal health and long-term comfort in horses.

Which plants are most commonly used?

It is important to highlight the unique herbal blends developed by La Boutique de l’Arbalou. Each formula is carefully designed so that every plant works in perfect synergy with the others.

Each plant has a primary active property, supported by secondary compounds, but its effectiveness is maximized when combined correctly within a targeted formulation.

This is why Arbalou Soins never uses the same plant mix for multiple conditions:
each blend is specifically designed for a precise physiological purpose, ensuring real and targeted effectiveness.

Targeted Arbalou herbal blends

Arbalou Herbal Joint

A powerful synergy of plants designed to support the locomotor system and improve joint comfort in horses.

Arbalou Herbal Dermato

A carefully selected blend of plants helping to soothe skin irritations and itching. This formula provides comprehensive support for horses with sensitive skin.

Arbalou Herbal Gastricprotect

A herbal blend specifically formulated for horses with gastric sensitivity, including cases of ulcers. Stress, transport, environmental changes, training, and medication can all affect gastric balance and reduce comfort and performance.

Arbalou Herbal Senior

A plant-based formula designed to support aging horses. As horses age, their needs change: joints become stiffer, digestion and liver function may weaken, and respiratory comfort can decline. This blend helps maintain comfort and overall vitality in senior horses, whether still active or retired.

Custom herbal blends

Many other plant combinations are also available. La Boutique de l’Arbalou can even create custom herbal blends upon request, tailored to your horse’s specific needs.
