About Molly's Herbals

Molly's Herbals has been a lifetime labor of love, careful formulation, study and knowledge of herbs and how they work within the body. Says Molly... When I was in my 20s I had asthma. I have always believed in natural health care and really wanted to stop using medications so I started studying herbs to help with my breathing. I developed an herbal blend and three years later I had no symptoms of asthma. I then started to develop my own herbal formulas for my own use on my own animals, because there really were no herbal animals related products available out there. I actually never really set out to sell my formulas. In the early 2000s people were using herbs for themselves and many wanted to use herbals for their animals as well. I wanted to help people so I thought I would make my formulas available for others. I had no idea it would eventually grow become Molly's Herbals. It's wonderful being able to make my living by helping animals have a better quality of life.

What Is Holistic Health Care?

Modern Western medicine does not treat the entire animal or human. It directly address the problem, aiming to correct it as quickly as possible. In contrast, holistic therapies address the health of the entire organism by slowly and surely balancing the systems of the body, strengthening the immune system, and preventing disease.

So How Can Herbs Help My Horses and Dogs?

Understanding the proper use of herbs involves rethinking your understanding of how health care works (or should work). In today's mainstream medical profession (Western Medicine) the approach to health maintenance focuses on treating symptoms. When a person, or animal, gets sick, the conventional practice is to identify and suppress the symptoms of disease to achieve immediate relief (quick fix). The long term well being of the patient is not really addressed and to cure the real dis-ease is actually not pursued, because, financially speaking, if you actually cured the problem for good, the doctors and pharmaceutical companies couldn't get any more money.

Note: In using herbs in a holistic manner, we look at what are the causes of the dis-ease. We take a curative approach and look for the origin and purpose. Once this is addressed, we can work toward reestablishing and maintaining the bodies' own ability to heal itself.

How Can The Right Herbs Help My Horses or Dogs?

Says Molly: Personally I choose to used natural and herbal health treatments for myself, so it made sense for me to try it for my animals as well. Herbs can provide a wise alternative to administering drugs that might cause unwanted side effects or even risk the long term health of you animals. For example, one of the reasons I developed my A&J formula, for my own Basset Hound, was I was concerned about the possible side effects of the Rimadyl that the vet prescribed her for her arthritis. I wanted to try an alternative with less chances of negative long term health side effects. Herbs were worth trying and worked for my situation. Another example is many chemical/drug deworming products are becoming less effective these days as the parasites are developing resistance. I didn't like giving my own animals the chemical-poison wormers that are so prevalent today, so I developed an herbal alternative that parasites have not developed any resistance to.

Is Consulting With A Vet Still A Good Idea?

Absolutely! If you feel your pet has any type of health issue, you may want to consult a vet or natural health pet practitioner. Remember to ask questions and don’t be afraid to seek alternative treatments if you think that is a better choice for you and your animals. Most vets have no experience with herbs and will not suggest using them, although I am having more of my customers telling me that their vets are so amazed with the results from my herbs, that they are actually starting to recommend them to other clients.

How Do I Know When to Start Giving Arthritis and Joint Support (aka A&J) ?
You can usually tell when the animals seems to be getting "creaky” or favoring one leg over the other. I always say to people, they know their own animals better than anyone else (even their vet) and they should trust their instincts in regards to their health and happiness. A nice thing about my herbs, is it is really not going to hurt to try them.

Arthritis and Joint Support (A&J)

is the answer!

What Sets A&J Apart from other Joint Supplements?

I developed this formula because I wanted something safe that could be used during pregnancy (many herbal Arthritis & Joint Support mixes now available for animals contain herbs that really should not be used on a continuing basis such as Yucca or during pregnancy such Devils Claw).

The combination of herbs in this formula along with the Glucosamine and MSM assist with arthritis, hip and knee dysplasia, elbow dislocation and other joint problems. It aids in helping to prevent joint damage, rebuild worn joint tissue, and slow further degeneration and acts as an anti-inflammatory

I use only top grade human grade ingredients in all of my products. Frustratingly, Glucosamine and MSM are very expensive. I really want people to be able to afford to use my herbals with their animals, especially long term, so I do everything I can to keep my prices as low as I can.

How Long Do I Need to Keep My Dog or Horse on A&J?
If you try it and you see improvement, you really should keep using it on a daily basis. It is intended to be used used as part of a long-term maintenance program so that your dog or horse can continue to move as freely and as comfortably as possible!

What About Building The Immune System? What Does Molly Suggest? Molly understands that a healthy immune system is vital to the health and well being of your animals from birth and throughout their entire lifetime! As horses or dogs age, their immune capability begins to lessen… this can even happen with young animals who have not received proper care, nutrition or are recovering from an injury or illness.

Immune ST

is the answer!

What Is Immune ST (aka IST) and What Does It Do? Immune ST is an alcohol Based Liquid Herbal Dietary Supplement The combination of herbs in this formula are traditionally used as an: Immunostmulant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral.

IST is a blend of immune system supporting herbs. I developed this particular supplement originally to aid with Pneumonia, congestion, "raspy" lungs, runny noses and coughing in my goats. I started experimenting with it for other things and with a little adjusting and fine tuning this formula has become my personal "All Purpose Immune System Booster". This formula is intended to work, not like Western Medicine drugs which only treat and mask symptoms of illness; but holistically to aid in strengthening the body's systems so that the body may attempt to heal itself, naturally. It is great any time an animal is struggling in any way— or to just help keep them in optimal health!
