Everyone wants his or her dog to be truly healthy. We get sad when our beloved pets are ill or unhappy, but often traditional courses of treatment don’t always work. Luckily, there are alternative ways of treating canine illness and maintaining your dog’s best health.

What is holistic health care and how does it relate to your dog?

The term “holistic” was coined in the 1960′s by H. Ray Evers, a medical doctor concerned about chronic diseases for which there were no cures. Dr. Evers felt many of the “wonder drugs” prescribed by conventional doctors merely suppressed symptoms that would resurface later; sometimes even more severe than before. While studying the New Testament, he discovered the Greek word “holos” (whole), in reference to the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. Since then a whole science has sprung up over night to help make holistic healing a reality.

Homeopathy, or quantum healing, is the ability of one mode of consciousness to spontaneously correct the mistakes of another. Conventional medicine applies the “Law of Opposites” to the treatment of disease. Homeopathy takes the opposite approach, using remedies based on the “Law of Similars.”

When used properly, homeopathy works with the body. A homeopathic cure is obtained by giving the substance that produces symptoms in healthy individuals that are most similar to the patient’s own symptoms. For example: your dog is frequently asking to urinate, but there is no strain, and the urine is normal.

A doctor won’t be able to pin point the problem. Without treatment, inflammatory changes will occur. Fever, redness, and swelling are quite common. This is the dog’s body counteracting the virus.

Finally the canine’s body will try to fight it by moving into pathology; a thickened bladder wall, then bladder stones. A homeopathic remedy could have been administered early and could have cured the young pup immediately. Homeopathy medicine is of course quite unconventional, which makes locating these medicines somewhat difficult.

The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA) can help you out a great deal. Acupuncture, chiropractic medicine, and healing crystals. These are all new medical treatments. Once you begin to use these methods on your beloved pet, you will instantly see the effects of the treatments. Maintaining good health and a happy lifestyle for you pet is key to giving them prolonged and a more meaningful life.
