Holistic practitioners — many of whom are veterinarians — consider the whole patient and not just the disease, condition, or symptoms. The goal is to understand both the immediate problem and the contributing factors and then propose therapies that enable the horse to heal from within itself and prevent recurrences. This chapter provides a brief overview of the alternative therapies that can complement conventional medicine and sometimes even offer an improved outcome in a treatment plan. Always consult your veterinarian first in all matters related to your horse's health; alternative therapies are not intended to replace the wisdom of conventional medicine.
