Dr. Weyrauch No. 6 Alpenfrische provides very fine tasting food and spice herbs that enrich the horse's diet with precisely those nutrients that are even less abundant in nature during the cold season than in summer.
Dr.WeyrauchNo. 6 Alpenfrische has a long history. The homeopathic practitioner Felix Mayer from Munich gave Dr. Weyrauch the herbal mixture of his great-grandfather, who was once a veterinarian in Vienna. Alpenfrische provides herbs and spices with a very fine taste that enrich the horse's diet with precisely those nutrients that are even less abundant in nature during the cold season than in summer. These include terpenes from special herbs. Terpenes are secondary plant substances. Terpenes are fat-soluble and belong to the lipids in the broadest sense. They are primarily known for their antimicrobial effect. Many terpenes have a very pleasant smell. This is why they are also found as a component of essential oils. The causes of coughs are manifold and range from mechanical irritation (food particles, dust, dry air) to allergies (histamine), thermal or chemical stimuli (cold, ammonia exposure) and infectious diseases of viral or bacterial origin. In most cases, two causes come together, for example an infection combined with unfavorable living conditions. To keep the respiratory organs healthy, the body has a kind of self-cleaning mechanism for the mucous membranes, in which mucus is continuously produced. This is known as "pulmonary mucociliary clearance". If a horse falls ill, the mucous membranes become irritated. The inflammation increases the amount of mucus or changes its consistency. In response, more sputum is produced or the mucus becomes viscous and remains in the airways, which can lead to respiratory problems. Spastic reactions are also possible. The vet can provide further information after a thorough examination. The use of many plant substances has traditionally proven effective for acute and chronic respiratory problems. Examples include thyme, licorice and sage. It makes perfect sense to support the horse's diet with nutritious, mucous membrane-caring herbs that are rich in essential oils and so-called terpenes. These include aniseed, fennel and fenugreek seeds, Iceland moss, borage, cowslip, primrose and beavernell root and many others that can no longer be found on today's species-poor pastures.
