Reiki for Dog's

What is Reiki?

Reiki pronounced as ray-kee it is a Japanese/Tibetan technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It can be administered by "laying on hands"  or hovering hands over a body and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki can be administered to animals as well as individual people.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

Homeopathy for Dog's
A natural way to heal our pets is with the use of homeopathy. Homeopathy is  a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old. Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long lasting benefits.
The therapy is based on the theory of treating “like with like”. Homeopathic remedies are diluted natural substances that if given to a healthy person,
would produce the symptoms the medicine is prescribed for. In the assessment of you, the patient, homeopaths will take into account the range of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors in order to prescribe the right medicine(s).



First-Aid Homeopathic medicines:
  • Aconitum-This remedy treats shock, both mental and physical and will also assist in the treatment of acute febrile conditions, such as viral or bacterial diseases.
  • Apis - Urticarial swellings, oedema and fluid in joints will often respond to this remedy, apart from its benefits for burns and scalds or for insect bites and stings.
  • Arnica -
  • Arnica is homeopathy’s great injury remedy. Its use will minimise pain and bruising and will speed healing.
  • Belladonna - High fevers with head, ear, throat or eye pain are especially helped by this remedy. Very painful abscesses may also respond.
    •
  • Bryonia -
  • Arthritis, rheumatism, pneumonia or mastitis, when the animal refuses to move, are the main areas of use of Bryonia.
    •
  • Calendula - Used as a lotion, this remedy speeds healing of cuts, grazes or open wounds, in addition to helping the animal to fight septic infection of such injuries.
    •
  • Cantharis - This medicine helps most cases of cystitis.
  • Carbo veg. - This is nick-named the ‘corpse reviver’, on account of its ability to help patients in collapse.
  • Caulophyllum - The birth process, at all stages whether before, during or after, is helped by Caulophyllum.
  • Chamomilla - Teething in young dogs and trouble from teething in any species will benefit from use of this remedy.
  • Euphrasia - With the folk-name ‘eyebright’, this remedy helps many eye conditions, including conjunctivitis from cold winds. It also helps in cases of sneezing and nasal allergy. It is also useful as a first-aid treatment for eye ulcers.
  • Hamamelis - Bleeding from wounds and orifices would indicate Hamamelis, in many cases.
  • Hepar sulph. -
  • This is nick-named the ‘homeopathic antibiotic’, so effective is it in helping patients to fight septic, purulent infections.
  • Hypericum - Use this remedy whenever there is a painful graze or damage to tissues rich in nerve endings (e.g. toes and tail).
    •
  • Ledum - Use this whenever puncture wounds occur, from whatever injury. There are reputed anti-tetanus properties in addition to its ability to help such wounds heal correctly, from the depths outwards.
  • Nosodes - These are remedies made from diseases or disease material (e.g. discharges, tissues, secretions, excretions). 
  • Nux vomica - If an animal has stolen too much rich food or has had access to poisons, Nux vomica should help recovery from the resultant intoxication. It may also help cases of constipation and is a useful first-aid treatment in cases of 'prolapsed intervertebral disc' in dogs.
  • Rhus tox. - This suits most cases of rheumatism and arthritis, that are worse for first movement but limber up.
  • Ruta - Ligaments, tendons and other fibrous tissues are the main areas of benefit of this remedy.
  • Silica - Helps the body to drive out foreign bodies, e.g. grass seeds. 
  • Symphytum In cases of bone fracture, Symphytum will speed healing and stimulate a better repair. Non-union fractures will also generally respond .
    •
  • Urtica - This remedy treats nettle rash (urticaria) and helps the flow of milk from the mammary gland.

I myself have used homeopathic tablets with my old Jack Russell Ben who had server arthritis. After trying all the medicine from the vets and still no improvement plus the side effect I then tried homeopathy after using it for many years with myself and my children.  I decided to give it ago with Ben two weeks on the homeopathy he could once again run around and climb the stairs. From then on I use homeopathy if needed on my dogs but only after a consultation with the vets.
