I’ve listed some of the most common uses for each ingredient found. However, I highly recommend a personal search of each herb for yourself so you can learn how amazing these plants are!

Aloe: (Aloe Vera, Aloe Barbandensis) The Aloe Vera plant has long green leaves that have little spikes on the edges. They are fleshy in feeling and the inside of this leaf is gel like in consistency. Originally, this plant came from Africa. Used for many purposes, the aloe vera leaves are commonly used for support for Constipation, Diabetes, Burns, Cuts, Wounds, Pancreas, Colic, Intestinal infections, Ulcers, Inflammation, Allergic Reactions and more. Creates a soothing effect on inflamed tissues or digestive tract.

Chia Seeds: Low in NSC – these little seeds are a great add to a diet for any horse, but also safe for those that have been diagnosed with Cushings, PSSM or other insulin resistant issues. They can be fed whole or ground, but in the case of this mix have been ground to blend properly with the rest of the powdered herbs. They create a gel like coating when wet, therefore coating the digestive tract and soothing inflamed tissues all while improving digestive health. Loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and Omega 3’s it’s no wonder we see these little seeds in every “healthy drink” of the organic section of the store! Chia seeds can be fed whole in addition to this mix if desired. While grinding them exposes the fatty acids to oxygen – I do grind them fresh to shipping out so that the seeds in whole form do not “sink” to the bottom of the bag. I also ground them in the case of my Ulcer Mare (whom this mix is named after) and stored them in the fridge with proven results! Chia seeds have been shown to reduce pain, protect ligaments and joints, support gastrointestinal function, reduce pain, balance immune function and more!

Marshmallow Root: (Althea officinalis) This plant grows in marshes and is a water lover. The root and leaves of this plant have a high mucilage content so to inflamed tissues it is both soothing and healing. Used for respiratory disturbances such as asthma, sore throats, colds, diarrhea, ulcers, skin irritations, pain relief, diuretic and digestion.

Chamomile Flowers: (Matricaria recutita) At one time or another we have all probably been told by Grandma to drink some Chamomile tea! Why? Because it has so many amazing benefits. This flower is part of the daisy family and the flowers have long been dried and used medicinally. Its therapeutic actions include anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, antispasmodic, anti-ulcer, bitter, carminative, digestive, anxiolytic, nervine, sedative, vulnerary, diaphoretic, anti-microbial. It’s main use has been for the digestive system especially when worsened or triggered by stress. Also used for canker sores, colic, diarrhea, ulcers, skin conditions such as eczema, gingivitis, indigestion, heartburn, IBS, pain reduction, reducing inflammation, cold symptoms, lowering blood sugar, diabetes, sleep, relaxation and anxiety relief & easing PMS symptoms. Avoid this herb if there is an allergy to the Asteraceae plant family.

Licorice Root: (Glycyrrhiza glabra, Glycyrrhiza uralensis) This herb is highly regarded in the use of Chinese medicine. It acts as a soothing and coating agent not only in the digestive tract, but also the urinary tract. Because of its antiviral properties and antioxidants, it has been used medicinally for asthma, bronchitis, mouth ulcers, chronic fatigue, eczema, fibromyalgia, indigestion, heart burn, stomach ulcers, diabetes, tuberculosis & inflammation.

******When Licorice Root is out of stock, this will be swapped for Dandelion Leaf.*****

Dandelion Leaf: The dandelion flower has long been used to stimulate the appetite and help digestion. This flower has antioxidant properties therefore supporting the immune system and may aid in detoxing. Herbalists gravitate towards this herb for the use of detoxifying the liver, gallbladder and encouraging healthy kidney function. Contains vitamins A, C, D, and B complex as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper, choline, calcium, boron, and silicon. Research additional benefits, there are many!

Calendula Flowers: (Calendula officinalis) For those in other countries, this is a common garden plant and has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. Supportive for eczema, gastritis, burns, stomach ulcers, skin diseases, skin ulcerations. Aiding in the reduction of inflammation and used as an antiseptic, this is a very healing herb.

Cat’s Claw: (Uncario tomentosa) The root bark is used as medicine for supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, gastric ulcers, tumors, arthritis, wound healing, pain reduction, blood purifying and aiding in parasite removal

Diatomaceous Earth with Calcium Bentonite Clay: You have probably eaten DE in your flours or wheat and just didn’t know it. Some sources call this the “miracle mineral”. Silica in diet’s today has been significantly reduced by fertilizers, pesticides and hybrid foods. DE is high in silica and therefore can improve the health of skin, hair, nails, joints, immune system. Aids in treating constipation & parasite removal as bugs cannot build an immunity to it. Adds to the shelf life of this mix as well.

Calcium Bentonite Clay: Immune boosting by pulling heavy metals out of the body aiding in the detox process. May help gut absorb more nutrients by increasing intestine flora. May help relive digestive problems such as constipation, IBS and nausea. Aiding the liver “Produced in certain molds, we are all susceptible to ingesting aflatoxins in processed foods. Due to the use of ingredients where the aflatoxins grow. In high enough quantities, aflatoxins can damage your liver. Fortunately, bentonite clay actually binds to aflatoxins and expels them from your liver and body.”
