Hilton Herbs Spearmint (Equine)
SPEARMINT HERB (DRIED)
Mentha spicata
Spearmint is a popular herb for horses, dogs and other animals thanks to its soothing properties and rich inviting smell and it is widely used to help support healthy digestion and for encouraging horses that tend to be 'fussy eaters' to eat up. For people it can be used to make a soothing tea and to add palability to horse feed and supplements.
If you want a supplement formulated specifically for the digestive system, including helping to maintain digestive pH balance then consider using our Equine GastriX or Canine Digest Support.
We also use Spearmint in our Herballs, the best selling Herbal Treats which are free from sugars and molasses and can therefore be used safely for "Laminitis Prone" horses and ponies.
