The use of medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of diseases is increasingly extended. By the observation of wild animals, the prehistoric human learned about the use of medicinal herbs for himself and for animals in captivity. In the past, medicinal herbs were very important for the development of synthetic drugs and were also the starting point for quicker development of modern medicine. Today, different medicinal plants can be used for animal treatment. Althought many people believe that medicinal plants are safe for use, more research about safety and possible interactions with others substances are necessary. Uporaba zdravilnih rastlin je za preprečevanje in zdravljenje bolezni razširjena vse od pradavnine pa do danes. Človek se je z opazovanjem divjih živali učil uporabe zdravilnih rastlin zase in za živali v ujetništvu. Zdravilne rastline so igrale tudi pomembno vlogo pri razvoju sinteznih zdravil in tako so bile osnova za hitrejši razvoj moderne medicine. Danes pri zdravljenju živali lahko uporabljamo različne zdravilne rastline. Čeprav na splošno velja mnenje, da je večina zdravilnih rastlin varnih, če jih uporabljamo v skladu z navodili, so raziskave varnosti in možnosti interakcij potrebne tudi pri živalih. |
