The Herbie Lady

(written by Tina Sanderson)

Herbal products are more and more common in today’s market for people as well as all animals. Herbal treatment is actually so old it’s new again. While it should be noted that any alternative treatment should be discussed with your vet as well as your herbalist before commencement, many treatments are side effect free and easy to administer for a wide variety of ailments from arthritis all the way through to stomach ulcers, skin irritations through to lacerations, from general wellbeing through to a raging cold.

With a background in medicine, initially as a nurse and anaesthetic technician, Yvonne Lucas became engrossed in the power of herbs when modern medicine failed to find an answer for her youngest child’s “incurable” eczema. She began researching deeper and deeper into the properties of plants and other natural ingredients, and eventually formulated a 100% natural cream which quickly and completely healed her daughter’s suffering once and for all.

The formulation of this blend became the cornerstone for more products, which she rapidly transferred to use in her role rescuing and rehabilitating neglected and injured horses, some of which had been deemed so bad their next stop was the doggers lane. With Yvonne’s careful assessment, treatment, retraining where required and monitoring, these horses have all gone on to lead useful, happy lives.

What is most astonishing about this is the actual ailments many of these horses came to Yvonne suffering. Over the years she has rehabilitated horses with chronic malnourishment, strangles, severe wounds, founder, ulcers, aggression problems, ligament and joint issues, allergies and more.

Yvonne now hand-blends a wide variety of nutritional and herbal supplements, creams, ointments and shampoos which she has made available to the public by contacting her in person, or through selected outlets and agents. All are quickly gaining popularity due to their undisputable effectiveness, and blends include detoxes, hormone balancers, cold and flu treatment and prevention, digestive soothers, weight gainers, wound creams, shampoos, as well as a divine collection of skin and hair products for the horse owner. All products come with detailed information of their make-up, potential benefit and possible contra-indications, and can be individually tailored to suit your personal needs.

As the business continues to expand, Yvonne continues to make each blend individually by hand, using only the freshest and purest ingredients available, ensuring each and every product is correct to her formulation, and has that special personal touch often lost in some larger operations.
