Stressed Animals Can Benefit From Homeopathic Medicine

Some new research is being conducted in Australia on animals that experience stress as a result of having unstable nerves. The remedy is called "anxiety" and the manufacturers of the treatment claim that it will help animals and pets relax during uncomfortable events such as fireworks, car travel and thunderstorms.

The study will be done traditionally involving two separate groups of pets. One group will be given the experimental treatment and the other will be given a placebo. Each group will take the substances 3 times each day, and the study will continue for a total of 3 months. The activity of the animals will then be monitored during the mentioned situations to see how effective the new treatment is.

In order to pass food and drug regulations in Australia, this new type of homeopathic medicine must have positive results in at least 77 percent of the animals that are tested, and it cannot have any side effects whatsoever. If this new remedy is safe and effective then I feel that it will be another step in the right direction for homeopathy and its supporters.
