Solving EPM

For EPM horses and horses with EPM-like symptoms, we now have very encouraging news regarding the use of herbs. Both western and Chinese herbs have brought about many very positive results. Rapid, dramatic turnarounds have been achieved in many cases, even in some that were considered hopeless.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico a pair of holistically minded individuals, Mona Boudreaux, DVM, and Gary Allen, LAc, are teaching the secrets of their herbal success to veterinarians around the country through a course on Chinese herbs and how to use them effectively. Though Dr. Allen, a horse owner and human acupuncturist, and Dr. Boudreaux, a small animal veterinarian who practices only complementary medicine, are not equine specialists, they do know their herbs and are experts in the field of Chinese medicine. That is what they emphasize - Chinese medicine - when they teach their course to small and large animal veterinarians.
