Natural Plant Extracts
Their Role in Treating Pets
People have used plant extracts for treatment of human diseases for
thousands of years. What used to be considered magic, faith, mysticism, etc,
we now know there is scientific proof of their efficacy. Many drugs used
today were derived from plants after purification of the active component
which are then often synthesized.
Plants however, have a variety of chemical compounds in their leaves,
roots, and flowers. These chemicals interact to be effective. If a specific
component is extracted, such as allantoin from the Comfrey plant ( a wound
healer), it may not be as effective as when left in the whole plant extract.
Many products on the market have not had their components tested for the
biological activity claimed so one should be careful in selecting a
so-called "natural" product.
C-DERM uses only natural plant extracts of the highest quality. These
have been tested in the laboratory against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, and
in the field on dogs, cats, birds, horses, reptiles and amphibians. Only
safe, non-toxic, effective components are used in all of the C-DERM
products.
