Understanding Zoopharmacognosy

Zoopharmacognosy is a groundbreaking approach in animal therapy that taps into the innate ability of animals to self-medicate using natural substances. This practice is rooted in the observation that animals in the wild instinctively select plants and other natural elements to address their health needs. Because we have adapted the animals environment to our modern domesticated world, by integrating this ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices, we provide a holistic approach to animal wellness. At Saranya Animal Therapy, we are dedicated to harnessing these natural instincts to promote healing and well-being in animals of all kinds.

Origins of Zoopharmacognosy

Zoopharmacognosy in the form practised at Saranya Animal Therapy is based on the world renowned work and research of Caroline Ingraham. The terms is derived from the ancient greek words ‘zoo’ (meaning animal), ‘pharmaco’ (meaning remedy) and ‘gnosy’. By observing the activities of animals in the wild we are able to support domesticated animals in a safe and secure environment.

Benefits of Zoopharmacognosy

Zoopharmacognosy offers numerous benefits, enhancing the physical and emotional well-being of animals. By allowing animals to choose their own remedies, we empower them to address specific health issues, reduce stress, and improve overall vitality. This method is particularly beneficial for animals experiencing anxiety, chronic pain, or behavioral issues. Through this intuitive healing process, animals can achieve a balanced state of health, fostering a deeper connection with their guardians and a more harmonious living environment.

The Zoopharmacognosy Approach at Saranya

Preparing for the Session

Pre Consultation and Session Preparation

Before each session Irene contacts the client to complete a Pre-Consultation questionnaire. This gathers information about the animals history, the current situation and environment. This allows Irene to prepare for the session and focus on the particular needs of the animal. Irene will also use this to explain what will happen on the day and how create a safe space for the therapy to be conducted in. Irene will also answer any questions you may have.

During the Session

Selection, Offering and Response

On the day Irene will discuss any changes that may have occured since the pre consultation. Set up for the session. Remedies will be carefully selected to offer to the animal in a safe and controlled way. By observing the animals response Irene will adapt the session as guided by the animal. Involving the owner as much as is possible.

After the Session

Integration and Healing

Irene will ask you to observe the animal over the period following the session and will check in to discuss.

What Our Clients Say

Gloria, Ripon

Romi

Our miniature shetland pony, Romeo, loves Irene from Saranya. With her amazing zoopharmacognost sessions she has helped him enormously –  and that’s not easy because he’s a determined little character who sometimes doesnt care much for the company of humans. However, Irene’s lovely quiet energy, along with her calm and thoughtful manner always brings out the best of him. For me, able to watch and be part of his sessions is amazing.

Irene works with Romi so he sets the pace. There’s never a time limit as Irene always says it will take as long as it takes.

Chris, North Yorkshire

Coco

Coco is our young cocker spaniel cross. She’s full of live, love and energy and she adores her big ‘brother’ Bertie who si the sweetest 11 year old Labrador you could wish to meet.  One day, earlier this year, out of the blue, she started to eat Berties’ poo! Yes it was disgusting. But why was she doing it?

Enter Irene from Saranya for a zoopharmacognosy session. It was a lovely warm still day so it took place outside on the patio. This meant that Coco was free to come and go as she wished. Irene placed a selection of herbs and powders for Coco to investigate and so we began.

I didn’t expect any interaction from Coco other than her either totally ignoring everything or completely crashing through it all as she zoomed past. She did neither.

Coco worked her way quietly and systematically along the dishes checking every one thoroughly. Her method of self selection was so concentrated i could believe my eyes. Some she ingested and some she didnt show any interet in. Her selection and interaction with the oils were just as interesting.

Throughout the session Irene was lovely. Calm, kind and patient. There was no time limit. It was all at Coco’s pace. Our session lasted about two and a half hours. And, happily it did help.
