Audience

This study program is intended for all horse and animal lovers, for riders, for horse owners, for veterinarians, for stable workers, and for those working in all equine therapeutic fields. With the aim of treating and caring for your horse, or the horses under your responsibility, and also to acquire new effective therapeutic tools, develop your profession, stand out from other practitioners and acquire professions that are in great demand in the labor market, with international certificates from the leading institutions in the field and for the first time in the country.

About the program

This training is based on the science of Zoopharmacognosy (self-selection). Students completing this training can use herbal medicine with their own horses or those in their care, such as racing trainers and horse owners. This training helps animals to heal themselves physically and emotionally using herbal (botanical) compounds – essential oils, floral waters, herbs, minerals and more.

Animals have been doing “Zoopharmacognosy” for centuries, but humans removed this ability for horses when we domesticated them and placed them in paddocks and stables. Through this training, you can bring the outside world to the horse and allow it to make choices for its own self-healing and self-medication. We have worked with many horses with the following problems, all with great success: gastric, ulcers, mud fever, arthritis, injuries, muscular, laminitis, hormonal imbalances, bladder, liver, kidney and first aid. We also have success of working with stable vices, confidence issues, separation anxiety and much more.

Zoopharmacognosy refers to the innate ability with which animals have self-medicated in the wild in order to ensure survival throughout their evolution. The word Zoopharmacognosy was coined by Prof Eloy Rodriguez from Cornell University, NY, USA and key researchers in the field includes Prof Michael Hoffman from Kyoto University, Japan and Prof Villalba at the Department of Wildland Resources, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA.

Applied Zoopharmacognosy has developed as an approach designed to replicate a similar opportunity for domesticated animals within our care. In essence, it is an observational science enabling the student/practitioner to tap into the horse's innate ability to identify and self-select plant extracts in order to restore and maintain health. Students and practitioners do not diagnose or administer but offer according to presenting symptoms and/or veterinary diagnosis.

For example, when working with a horse with a tendon injury, a student offers herbal extracts, which are known anti-inflammatories, analgesics, cellular rejuvenators along with extracts often selected for physical trauma. Careful observations of responses and selections are recorded and the subsequent choice of herbal extracts offered are made in response to these observations. The student then continues to offer in subsequent sessions, varying extracts as the horse’s condition/symptoms change, until extracts are no longer selected. This period can be anything from hourly as in the case of acute conditions such as choke/colic or daily in the case of chronic conditions such as COPD/RAO. As well as physical conditions, behavioral issues such as aggression, anxiety and phobias are also addressed using this methodology.

This blended learning program offers students the opportunity to gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills to use the Applied Zoopharmacognosy (AZ) approach with horses under their care. This includes the four methods of equine self-administration, sequential and simultaneous selection. Students will learn about the contraindications, health and safety issues (for horse and student alike) and ethical issues of this methodology.

They will become familiar with the Zoopharmacognosist’s Kit, which is an extensive collection of herbal extracts including essential oils, floral waters, CO2 extracts, powders, minerals and dried herbs and flowers. Each category of extract has different methods of offering to equines and students will practice these.

Following on from the foundational work, the program will explore in more depth areas such as barriers to success and how AZ can be combined with other modalities such as energy work, chiropractic, physiotherapy and so on, as part of an integrated healthcare approach. Students will also learn how to use AZ in emergency situations such as choke, castings and colic.

On completion of this program, students will be able to confidently

‘Offer’ extracts according to presenting symptoms as per veterinary diagnosis in order to support horses in their care to maintain and restore health.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this program the students will be able to:

• Describe the scientific foundations of Zoopharmacognosy and be aware of current research with both wild and domestic animals.

• Create the optimal environment for a horse to be able to self-medicate.

• Evaluate the horses presenting symptoms in order to make an educated decision on the starting point for offering.

• Understand the constituents of ‘The Kit’ including their medicinal properties and the most effective method of offering each extract according to horses - inhalation, ingestion, topical application or olfaction.

• Practically demonstrate their ability to choose and offer plant extracts to horses effectively, observe and record the reactions of the horse to their selection and adapt the session (and follow up sessions) with that horse accordingly.

• Respond effectively in an emergency or first aid situation with a horse.

Homeopathy course will cover the fundamental principles of homeopathy and treatment for their horse in a first aid and acute situation. Each student will learn how homeopathic remedies are made and the implications of each potency. The student will learn the history and background of Homeopathic medicine covering classical and practical application. The nature of health and disease. The difference between acute and chronic disease state. How the vital force of each individual effects our immunity and presentation of symptoms. We will cover the essence and keynotes of polycrest remedies looking in detail at the differences between them.

Each student will develop a good understanding of the 50-remedy homeopathy first aid and acute kit and become confident with how and when to prescribe a well indicated remedy for their own horse. At the end of the course, we will enjoy looking at equine cases and consider which is the most appropriate remedy, dose and potency by end of the course the student shall be confident with how when to prescribe for their own horse.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.

Essential oils are basically plant extracts. They're made by steaming or pressing various parts of a plant (flowers, bark, leaves or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce fragrance. It can take several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil.

In addition to creating scent, essential oils perform other functions in plants, too. In the wild a horse would seek out the appropriate plants, soils, herbs, barks, resins and clays to prevent or reduce the harmful effects of pathogens and toxins and keep them bodies and well-being in balance.

Essential Oils are pure natural herbal remedies, and the horse can instinctively recognize the medicinal properties of the essential oils they are being offered and select the ones appropriate to their needs, whether that be a physical, psychological or emotional need.

This programme is designed to give students a strong understanding of the uses and actions of a wide variety of essential oils and a strong foundation in aromatherapy and the use of essential oils that can be applied in a range of different ways. The scientific evidence base will be explored both in terms of how essential effect the body and what action individual essential oils have.

Each student receives the “Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology”, for free!

CMA

The Complementary Medical Association, The world’s biggest & leading association of research, academic training&recognition of colleges & therapists worldwide in the fields of complementary & integrative medicine.

Mission & Objectives
The Complementary Medical Association's (The CMA) primary aim is to promote ethical, responsible, professional complementary medicine to the public and the medical profession.
We believe that by promoting The CMA and its Registered Members & Colleges in all categories, though the media and online in a hugely high-profile manner, we are able to help the public and doctors to realize that complementary and integrative medicine is - when delivered safely and ethically - a viable and highly desirable form of healthcare. In addition, here at the CMA, we are totally dedicated to representing "the professional face of complementary medicine" and by promoting research, education and knowledge in the field, we will help to stimulate demand for the medicine of the 21st century and beyond.
The CMA is great news for professional practitioners, ethical colleges and patients who demand and expect excellence in every aspect of treatment.
What is the CMA?
The CMA is a not-for-profit organization which means that any funds we raise, through membership fees, book, training and product sales or donations are invested straight back into the organization.
A great part of our work consists of referring public and conventional medics alike to CMA registered practitioners so that they can be assured that treatment will be delivered
by a highly qualified, insured practitioner who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics and disciplinary procedure. We call this the "CMA Referrals Scheme".
In addition, we are able to help members of the public who wish to train in the complementary medical field to access our Registered Training Schools and Colleges. We provide assistance to Schools who wish to have their courses Registered and Accredited by the CMA.
We work closely with the conventional medical profession as we ultimately believe that the most important person after all, is the patient, and we believe that by presenting the patient with good, accurate information about complementary medical approaches they can make responsible informed decisions about their own health care. It is important to remember that both complementary and conventional medicine have a great deal to offer - when used appropriately, justifiably and responsibly. Ultimately, the freedom to choose one's own health care is a vital human right which should be protected.
Our History
The CMA was established in early 1993, by Jayney Goddard, in response to the overriding lack of public and medical knowledge about the complementary medical profession. During the initial two years we devoted our time to performing the market research that would indicate whether there could be a viable way of raising the profile of ethical, responsible complementary medicine. It was vital to establish and justify whether "yet another organization" needed to exist in the already saturated complementary medical organization field.
We spent a long time analyzing the entire arena and found that nothing was being done at that time by any membership body or organization to promote practitioners
or training schools in a high profile, professional manner.
Furthermore, at that time, complementary medicine had a very unprofessional profile; somewhat akin to a cottage industry. This was a sorry state of affairs and it became rapidly apparent that The CMA needed to exist if professional complementary medicine were to stand a chance.
Here at The CMA we are a dedicated team of committed professionals (we're all qualified healthcare practitioners) and we are absolutely serious about achieving our mission. We have always had a commitment to making sure that our Members can contact us easily and will always be able to get through to a real person at the end of the phone line. In addition, our e-communications are exceptionally effective and we are able to disseminate important information to our Members extremely rapidly and efficiently.
Where are we now?
The CMA opened its doors to members at the beginning of 1995 and to date, The CMA represents the interests of thousands of practitioners in various categories - including students and 180+ Training Schools/Colleges with additional organizations approaching us regularly. We also have another membership section, "Friends of the CMA" which comprises a variety of supporters, all of whom are keen to support the work of the CMA.
The CMA has a high media profile and we constantly work with major media organizations.
We are committed to cultivating a high media profile, through which we achieve in excess of ten individual media exposures per week including TV, radio, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. Our estimated monthly reach is circa 650,000 individuals.
We are committed to thinking creatively when it comes to promoting our members and we are dedicated to working creatively when promoting our Member's interests - just one example of this is that The CMA has - over the years - even undertaken extremely high-profile promotional campaigns utilizing advertising space on London Underground trains and Docklands Light Railway.
What We Do
q Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hugely important for us all in this profession. We offer practitioners lots of opportunities to keep their professional skills up-to-date with courses, seminars, ongoing tutorials and more by the leading lectures of UK & Europe.
q Membership ID Card, Certificate
It is vital that practitioners display their CMA certificate within their office or practice rooms to confirm their
Membership of this esteemed organization. We also
12
provide them with an ID card, which many of our Members find useful when on external site visits.
q LondonBoroughsSpecialTreatmentExemptedStatus Certain categories of practitioner are subject to requiring a “Special Treatment License” if they work in London and other cities. These licenses cost up to £1000+ and practicing without one leaves the practitioner open to a fine of up to £5000+. By registering with the CMA, after we approve their professional level and training, they are covered under our umbrella exemption – saving you thousands – and protecting them and their practice.
q CMA weekly e-Newsletter
This fantastically informative email brings practitioners the very latest news and research from around the world on all aspects of complementary medicine, natural health and wellness – and relevant conventional medical findings too.
q CMA Training / Courses
The CMA is dedicated to keeping our Members at the top of their profession, to this end we consistently offer ongoing training – with a particular emphasis on practice and training school development. CMA Members benefit from hugely discounted rates for these courses, compared to non- Members. CMA is an academic supporter of complementary medicine colleges, which meet the high criteria of the CMA, and after examining in-depth the curricula and study conditions that the college grants to students, the CMA grants a certificate of recognition to the college.
q Liaison at governmental level representing All CMA Members
The CMA is a Member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in UK. This means that we are representing practitioners’ interests at Governmental level – and can shape policy within this field to support our Members. CMA Members are allowed to attend these meetings at the House of Commons by arrangement.
q Webinars, Seminars, CPD workshops and further qualifications
The CMA liaises with various respected organization who are offering further training to our Members. If we believe that these trainings are of value, we negotiate special rates for our Members as part of our Membership Benefits package.
In addition to each certificate that the graduates receive from AUEDI, each graduate also receives an international certificate from CMA.
