What We Can Offer You
Iridology
Every organ and every body part is represented in the iris in a well defined area. These areas reveal to the Iridologist any inherited strength and weaknesses. They indicate inflammation and in what stage it is occurring and the toxicity of the area. The Iris also reveals changes in the body.
Equine Iridology
Equine Iridology, although in its infancy, can show inherited strength and weaknesses in the horse and will show the degree of inflammation and where it is occurring in the horse. It can detect impactions in the flexure areas inside the intestinal areas and can show if the life giving mesenteric artery is have trouble doing its job. Equine Iridology: what it can and can’t do.
Equine Iridology requires a new eye chart. Although similar to the human iris, the equine iris is distinct. Mercedes Colburn in late 1995 developed the Equine Iridology grid to map out the horse iris as a simple, painless, economical means of reviewing the horse’s body systems.

Equine Herbology: Before the horse became domesticated, they roamed over grasslands with an innate ability to select those certain plants which would be beneficial to them as a sustenance and also to aid in recovery from illness. Today's horses are not quite as lucky. Many permanent pastures have not retained their mineral balance and their numerous and varied grasses and herbs. It is important for the horse owner to be able to add these important minerals and herbs to their horses diet.
Vitamin/Mineral Supplements: These supplements contain the full spectrum of chelated minerals, vitamins, biocatalyst microorganisms and cultured gut bacteria. It is the standard against which other supplements have been measured for over 25 years.
This mineral based company traces its heritage to 1933. The Herb Farm has found these products to be invaluable.
