The life of the modern riding horse can often challenge his respiratory system. Stable bedding, indoor schools and horse boxes can all harbour dust and fungal spores which could accumulate and irritate the airways. In the wild the horse had access to a wide range of vegetation to suit all his nutritional needs, and could specifically select those required. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of species on modern pasture the horse can no longer make that choice.

Herbs traditionally used for respiratory stress include garlic, capsicum and althea. Garlic has been used medicinally since ancient and medieval times and is an excellent herb for supporting health. Capsicum may help to remove accumulated mucous by promoting the mucocillary response. While anisum is an expectorant and antispasmodic and, as such, is particularly useful for horses that cough. Althea is also included as it provides a protective layer over respiratory tissue membrances, hence strengthening the lungs against future attack.
