Acupuncture treatment of sandcrack in horse

Story:

from Ken Glaser ;attached are two before pictures of an old coronary band injury..  In the second picture look for scar that travels through the coronary band and back to the heel bulb.  We took in this mare a little over two years ago as a twelve year old.  The injury itself occurred sometime between foaling and the age of six when Oakey must have stepped on something very sharp cutting through the hoof and into the coronary band and heel bulb.  It was at six that the family we got Oakey from took possession.  The previous owner told us that they managed the split through regular trimming, yet I believe the injury caused regular pain.  Winter proved to be the time of year that exacerbated the problem.  The second winter with us her hoof split so bad there was bleeding and no surprise Oakey literally walked on three legs.  This is when I started to look for a solution other than therapeutic shoeing.  This is when I found your site and the use of Mugwort in a Moxa Roll.  We started therapy just as you recommended and continued for more than the prescribed two weeks.  Sure enough we started to see some improvement.  We tried a boot to give Oakey some relief in the meantime with no success.  So we had our farrier apply shoes to the back feet which allowed the hoof to continue to mend.  Then this spring to my amazement I was examining the old scar, and when rubbed with my thumb the scar tissue sloughed off.  Almost ten months later the crack is almost completely grown out and there is beautiful new soft tissue where the scar use to be.  Oakey has never been more sound and seemingly happy.  She was probably always in pain.  In conjunction with the Moxa Roll treatment we used a product called Toe Grow.  Thank you for the great recommendation!

Acupuncture for Downer syndrome in cows

The ascension of the cow story The cow is very sacred in India. In the western world it had become a factory animal until 2001 when in England millions of cows were put down due to ‘foot and mouth’ disease. At this time I was taking a group through the angel ascension process, a 12 week course. I was called upon to do acupuncture on a cow on a nearby property. This cow had ‘gone down’. This is what the farmers (called in Australia ‘cockies’) call this condition. It happens especially after birthing, the cow cannot get up off the ground. The ‘cockie’ attitude is, if it has been down for 3 days it won’t get up, so they shoot it, out of ‘mercy’, or ‘mercenary’. This is the story. It had already been 10 days when I first came. The lady was providing feed for her, and water. There was some contention amongst the local males as to what to do. I said ‘This cow is down because its spirit has gone down’. I had a feeling maybe this cow is doing this NDE, angel ascension process too

Treatment of abscess in horse with equine acupuncture

These points may be needled or moxaed. The result is very quick. 1-2 treatments will be needed. Q:  What is the reason for this to work? These points are a long way from an abscess. A: primarily abscess is caused by grief. When the tears cannot be released via the normal method they accumulate, then the toxin of the grief enters the blood and then travels down the leg trying to find a way out. Soon it is very painful. It may break out by itself externally or need help. The points above clear the toxin from the Blood and so disperse the abscess internally. Example; An owner came to me and said horse was lame. I suspected an abscess not yet ripened. i did these points. In morning she said,' I dont know if was the treatment or the Foot bath i gave it but horse is not lame now.' Another example from a beginning student; 6 year old mare with a history of foot abscesses showed up dead lame. very tender a back of heel on forelimb. Diagnosis of

Horse Hypnosis

This is very interesting to see. Acupuncture is a form of healing and as such involves altered states. The subject is relaxed and taken into a state, different from the normal state, where the healing takes place. This is not the way or subject of Medicine, nor is this the aim of the Acupuncture Method. It is a side-effect. Many, many times in giving a horse acupuncture, persons and animals around will also go to sleep. And in one way this is a blessing as, in any one family, all are affected if any one member of the family is affected, especially in regard to animals. They tend to take on , in their kindness and compassion, the symptoms of the owner. This is called Surrogating. I always say, I treat a horse and a rider for free. Fix the rider and the horse feels much better. This surrogating must always be looked into in treatment. If the rider walks with a right hand limp then the horse will end up with right hand symptoms Always look for the cause. To do hypnosis. After acupuncture
