GLOBAL HERBS as founded in 1998 by Stephen Ashdown MA, MSc BVetMed MRCVS, a vet who has been carrying out research on herbs and traditional animal health practices for the past ten years. Stephen worked extensively in veterinary practice in the UK before moving into overseas development in Africa and Asia, where he started to witness first hand the power and importance of herbs to people in the tropics, where modern health services are very limited. As well as his veterinary qualification, he holds masters degrees in Tropical Animal Production and Rural Development Planning.

Upon returning to the UK, Stephen founded GLOBAL HERBS, which provides a totally unique service across the UK and abroad - combining direct veterninary advice with state-of-the-art science based herbal products. Stephen is assisted by an expert team of veterinary nurses and technical staff.

GLOBAL HERBS aims to promote healthy, balanced lifestyles for people and their animals and support development initiatives around the world for a fairer and more caring planet.

GLOBAL HERBS aims to give you access to the most important herbal traditions around the world, together with the sort of advice you need to make them as effective as possible. Feeding the right supplements can be complex and confusing, which is why GLOBAL HERBS offers a veterinary advice service to help you get better results and make the right choices.

The GLOBAL HERBS service does not aim to compete with that provided by your local vet or health care professional, but complements the help that you are already receiving.

About Herbs

Before modern health services started, people and animals had to rely on plants and traditional practices to keep themselves healthy. Many of the foods we eat everyday and plants that grow in our gardens and the countryside have beneficial properties. For example, garlic helps to keep the chest clear, tackles parasites and can help keep the skin in good condition.

Every country in the world has its own herbal traditions that have been passed down over the centuries. Modern approaches to health care enable us to understand in great detail how the body works and how best to tackle imbalance. Much of the detailed scientific work that has been done on the way that different plants work has proved invaluable to those who are interested in promoting the use of herbs..

The use of such ancient traditions, when fused with modern scientific principles and ideas has given GLOBAL HERBS a unique range of herbal products to help keep your horses in the best of health.

GLOBAL HERBS offers an extensive range of herbal supplements and products. For a the full range of products please visit www.globalherbs.co.uk or telephone 01243 773363 for a catalogue.
