Self Medication for Animals - Applied Zoopharmacognosy
Webinar Price - £25
Lisa Gorrie and veterinary surgeon Chris Aukland introduce Applied Zoopharmacognosy, the study of how animals instinctively select plants, minerals and other natural substances to support their own health and wellbeing.
This fascinating behaviour, known as zoopharmacognosy, means “animal knowledge of medicine” and can offer valuable insights into animal health, behaviour and individual needs.
Drawing on Lisa’s 17 years of study and experience, this webinar explores animal self-selection, behaviour as communication and the Ingraham Method of Innate Medication (IMIM), with practical examples from pets, farm animals and wildlife.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how animals can actively participate in their own health through self-selection, and how these principles can be incorporated into a whole health approach to animal care.
