Diatomaceous earth: the indispensable natural wonder for animals

Diatomaceous earth, also known as silica, kieselgur, silicon, silicea, E551c, and dissolved in water as silicic acid, is a pure natural product with a long list of ancient uses . And yes, this mineral is so important that it's the most abundant element on Earth after water. In fact, it's an indispensable force for the body—unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly scarce in horse feed, which is precisely why a silicon deficiency can accelerate aging, degeneration, and disease processes. But don't worry, we have the solution!

What is diatomaceous earth?
Diatomaceous earth is made up of the fossilized skeletons of single-celled algae , or diatoms. These microparticles are so small (5 to 200 microns) that they're invisible to the naked eye—you'd need a microscope to see them! On average, 50 to 100 diatoms fit on the tip of a pin . They form fantastic biogeometric structures and can even be used for art . Yes, you read that right—there are people creating works of art from these microscopic wonders! Definitely worth seeing, the Art of Nature in action.

How does silicon work for your pet?
Silicon is the skeleton of diatoms and contains not only silicon itself, but also 15 other trace elements that together provide excellent support for the overall system. In natural medicine, silicon is even considered a receptor for cosmic energy , which promotes the body's regeneration. This helps make every treatment a success – because who wouldn't want a cosmic boost?

Even more benefits:

• Stomach protection : it strengthens the stomach wall and provides protection against damage.
• Gut health : helps support the intestinal wall and promotes healthy digestion.
• Fly larvae : This may sound strange, but it also prevents fly larvae from developing in the manure. A natural pest repellent!

Operation:
Diatomaceous earth isn't just a dusty powder —it's a killer weapon for pesky critters! Thanks to its unique structure, made up of the fossilized skeletons of shellfish (which look like shards of glass under a microscope), it has a tremendous moisture-binding capacity. This makes it a natural dehumidifier for uninvited guests like lice, mites, and other unwanted critters that can nest in your horse's coat. They can find better places to settle than your horse, thanks to the effectiveness of diatomaceous earth!

The beauty of diatomaceous earth is that it's not as in-your-face as chemical treatments. It works steadily, so you'll likely need to repeat the process several times until the parasites are gone for good and your horse can live an itch-free life again.

Use with caution:
While diatomaceous earth isn't harmful, you don't want it to linger in the air or get in your horse's eyes. It's very drying and can cause some irritation to the mucous membranes if inhaled. So use it wisely – you don't want to create a dust cloud that will make your horse uncomfortable.

The ultimate multitasker for your horse and its environment. And best of all? It has no expiration date! So use it, repeat, and let nature take its course. 🌿
