Since 2002, ginger has been utilized in horses for various ailments, particularly for injuries and age-related arthrosis and inflammation. Its efficacy was officially recognized in 2010, leading to its inclusion on the doping list. Ginger is considered a harmless drug suitable for lifelong use. The successful treatment of the renowned German dressage mare Renaissance Fleur in 2003 spurred widespread adoption of ginger among horse owners in Germany, with users praising it as a significant advancement in horse feeding. In 2004, horseradish was introduced as a complementary anti-inflammatory and broad-spectrum antibiotic. By 2009, licorice was added to address headshaking. The book provides a comprehensive overview of using ginger, horseradish, and licorice, along with practical guidance. It also discusses effective treatments for fungal skin diseases using broad-spectrum antifungal mosses, ambulant keratoma treatment, and innovative methods for treating sandcracks with glass fiber tissue. Additionally, it covers gastric-juice-resistant ginger encapsulation for human use, gentle treatment of equine sarcoids with liverwort extract and cod liver oil, and a cost-effective method for affixing bandages over wounds. The book emphasizes the new hoof-caring method F-Balance, validated by the University of Leipzig, as a preventive measure against orthopedic issues.
