Can’t you just feed one herb and call it good?
Not if you want the best that herbal medicine has to offer for your horse!
To understand what makes Equi-Breeze unique, we need to look at the foundation of herbal medicine — and how herbs are traditionally classified. Why Is Equi-Breeze Special?
Two Categories of Herbs: Activators & Tonics
🟡 Activator Herbs:
Act quickly — often within days to weeks
Have dramatic effects, like a pharmaceutical drug
Address symptoms quickly
🟢 Tonic Herbs:
Work more slowly — weeks to months
Help restore balance and strengthen organs over time
Address root causes of illness
Why Use Both?
If you combine activator herbs and tonic herbs that target the same body system (like the respiratory system), you get the best of both worlds:
✅ Immediate relief from symptoms (e.g., coughing, wheezing)
✅ Long-term strengthening of organs (like lungs) to prevent future issues
How Does Equi-Breeze Use This Concept?
Equi-Breeze was designed to support the respiratory system both now and long-term by combining powerful herbs from both categories:
🌿 Respiratory Tonic Herbs (Repair & Nourish):
Elecampane
Vasaka
Marshmallow
Peppermint
These help:
Open airways
Clear mucus
Improve lung strength
Support the respiratory immune system
They work gradually to repair the lungs and restore normal respiratory function.
⚡ Respiratory Activator Herbs (Fast Action):
Mullein
Yarrow
These provide:
Expectorant effects
Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action
Relief from dry coughs, labored breathing, and congestion
They act quickly to relieve discomfort while the tonics do their deeper healing.
🧡 Bonus Super Herb: Turmeric
While not lung-specific, Turmeric is a tonic herb that:
Reduces inflammation throughout the body
Provides antioxidant protection
Restores homeostasis
It adds balance and full-body support to help the lungs heal by healing the whole horse.
Synergy: Why We Use Herbal Combinations
Ever looked up individual herb dosages and saw something like a ¼ cup or more?
If you fed every beneficial herb at full dose, your horse might need to eat up to a pound of herbs per day. That’s not safe — or practical.
The Equi-Breeze Advantage:
We combine herbs strategically
They work synergistically, enhancing each other’s effects
This allows us to use smaller doses of each — with fewer risks and better palatability
Nature really is amazing!
In Summary:
Equi-Breeze = Activator + Tonic + Synergy
✅ Fast relief from symptoms
✅ Long-term respiratory support
✅ Lower doses = safer, more effective
✅ Thoughtful, veterinary-formulated herbal medicine
