Botanica Cleansing Wash is designed to clean, purify and sooth the skin and contains a unique combination of natural herbal ingredients which are blended to make a soothing, natural herbal wash that actually works.
Botanica Anti-Itch Cream contains a concentrated blend of natural herbal ingredients in a water based moisturising cream, which helps soothe and moisturise. Its unique blend of herbal properties means it acts quickly to sooth the affected area, whilst its in-built natural insect deterrent helps to further defend against the insects that cause Sweet Itch.
The Botanica Anti-Itch process is simple and easy and should be started before the midges arrive, so February /March is the ideal time to start. Simply wash the affected area with Cleansing Wash (diluted 4 capfuls per litre of warm water), making sure the skin is cleaned of any dry or dead skin. Leave the Wash to soak into the skin for 3-5 minutes and do not rinse it off. Apply the Anti-Itch cream to the affected area, massaging well in. Repeat daily for the first five days and then every second day the following week. Reapply again for one week in mid-summer. There should be no need for any rugs or covers. It is imperative that the Cleansing Wash and the Anti-Itch cream are used in conjunction with each other as they act synergistically for maximum results.
Botanica Fly Spray – use this all-natural spray to help keep insects at bay and further protect your horse. This plant-based spray is sweat resistant, non-greasy and is free from toxins, chemicals, lanolins, parabens and prohibited substances. Simply shake well before use and spray liberally as required, for effective, day-long protection from flies and biting insects.
So, if you want to Ditch the Itch this season, make Botanica part of your horse care regime.
