Homeopathic Remedy - Ledum for Itching

by Kim Barry
(Canada)

I have been told that using Ledum in the horses drinking water will help with the itch and swelling from bug bites.

Do you know this to be true?

Thank you,

Answer:

"Even though Ledum is excellent for bug bites...it should not be put into a communal drinking trough unless the whole herd is having the same trouble that correspond to the symptoms of Ledum...otherwise you can get the remedy 'proving' itself and can cause some of the symptoms you would be trying to treat in sensitive individuals.

Homeopathic remedies are best used on a case by case basis...individualized to the animal unless all are exhibiting same symptoms. And then the remedy should be discontinued when you see it is acting by the symptoms changing."
