Herbal Heartworm Protection
By Dr. Kim • Mar 16th, 2009 • Category: Flea, Tick, Mosquito, & Parasite Prevention, Herbal Health for Pets
This herbal formula is designed to help prevent heartworms using extracts of herbs well known for their anti-parasitic properties, and others well known for their mosquito repelling properties (heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes). These herbs are formulated to help eliminate existing larvae stage parasites in the blood stream and prevent them from entering the blood through reducing the chances of mosquito bites. This formula is designed as a preventative to be used during mosquito season.
If your pet already has heartworms, then we would suggest the Parasite Dr. Capsules Herbal Remedy. Also you may want to check out Parafree by Young Living.
A great article to read and understand what heartworms are, what they are not, is by my colleague and good friend Dr. Jeannie Thomason which you can read here: http://www.thewholedog.org/heartworm.html
