Making Herbal Remedies for Your Dog

Making Herbal Remedies

Making herbal remedies is a lot of fun. Armed with some basic knowledge and after some practice, anyone can make them at home.

How to Select Herbs

Fresh Herbs

  • Select fresh-smelling, healthy-looking plants with green leaves.
  • Avoid herbs with brown, or moth-eaten leaves.
  • If you pick your own herbs, pick them at their peak and after the morning dew has dried.
  • Be sure that the herbs you are going to pick have not been treated with pesticides and herbicides.

Dried Herbs

  • Select herbs that are dry but not too brittle (brittle and crunchy leaves indicate that the plants are too old).
  • Choose herbs that are dry but still retain a bright green color.
