Epsom Salts – 1kg

Uses:

• Osmotic laxative: Feed no less than a tablespoon per 100kg of horse, to temporarily relieve constipation. This should only be done for a short period of time.
• To reduce inflammation in legs: Lay the bandage wrap flat and sprinkle some water over it to dampen the wrap. Then sprinkle a small handful of Epsom Salt onto the wrap. Wrap around legs without spilling the Epsom Salt. Bandage over the wrap from just below the knee, to just below the fetlock.
• Calming effect: Add 10g to horse’s feed in the morning and at night. Reduce dosage or stop if stomach irritation becomes evident.
• Soothing bath: Dilute one cup of Epsom Salt into a 20l bucket of hot water. Soak a beach towel in the hot water, then ring out and lay across the horse’s back.
• Abscess: Dilute Epsom Salt in warm water and allow the hoof to soak. This will reduce inflammation in the hoof.
