Evening Primrose Oil is one of nature's most prominent healers providing relief from the symptoms of eczema, arthritis, high cholesterol and allergic dermatitis to name a few conditions. As you know animals suffer many of the same ailments that we humans do including the ones we have named above and like they do with us, natural treatments work in the same way for our pets.
The Evening Primrose is a member of the Willow family and it gets it name due to the yellow flowers of the plant opening in the evenings, in Britain we see the plant flowering in the Summer months of June and August.
Now the science, don't worry its not quantum physics! The main active ingredient is a fatty acid called Gamma Linolenic Acid or GLA, this aids tissue repair and promotes tissue formation. There, easy.
We often are asked about eczema and what can be done to help relive it in animals; evening primrose is our answer as it helps the animal convert linolenic acid to GLA (needed to aid the immune system produce healthy skin). Studies show that those suffering from conditions like eczema have difficulty breaking down linolenic acid and a course of EPO (evening primrose oil) has been shown to reduce irritation in over 90% of patients.

Valerian is a flowering plant which is native to Europe and some parts of western Asia and more recently it has been reported to be growing wild in North America. The plant can be seen in all its glory in the summer months sporting pale pink flowers (sometimes white) and it is perennial meaning that it will live through the year and will flower more than once.
Valerian has been used since ancient Greece and was documented in the writings of Hippocrates who described the extract of the plants roots to be a good remedy for insomnia. Today it is used a food supplement around the world and is often used to help treat conditions such as insomnia and anxiety as an alternative to prescribed sedatives.

It is April, and so far we have had rain, wind, snow, sleet, sun and back to snow again before no doubt a bout of frost! Yes folks, there is nothing more predictable than the erratic nature of the British weather, whilst we are blessed with a beautiful green and pleasant land the amount of hours of sunshine we are dealt means that we sometimes have to look abroad to enjoy the outdoors.
The annual holiday has changed dramatically over the past twenty or thirty years, where once we as families got on a coach to sunny Morecambe or Brighton, now we hop onto a 747 and we're jetting off to far off exotic lands of wonder where the sun is shining, the seas are warm and inviting, locals are friendly, the food offers fantastic avenues of delight for the senses, and the wild life bites the be-Jesus out of your arms and legs!
