Holistic approach to summer eczema in horses

Discover Holistic Treatment of Summer Eczema at Paardenkriebels with Helmosan

Summer eczema, a common problem in horses, is the direct result of an allergic reaction to mosquito bites. This condition can cause intense itching, often leading to self-injury by rubbing against stalls or fences. The first goal is obviously to relieve this itching, but superficial treatment is not enough. Horses with summer eczema also show changes in the blood and immune system, including the production of specific antibodies and increased histamine levels, which can lead to chronic inflammation and exacerbated allergic reactions. Therefore, it is essential not only to address the symptoms, but also to lower histamine levels and strengthen the immune system.

At Paardenkriebels.co.uk, we are pleased to introduce Helmosan's product line and holistic summer eczema protocol.

All our products are natural and, where possible, organic, to give your horse the best possible support.

Developed in collaboration with veterinarians, phytotherapists and practitioners, these products together form a perfectly tailored system for treating summer eczema.
