Diatomaceous Earth: the indispensable natural wonder for animals

Diatomaceous earth, also known as kieselguhr, silica earth, 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 after water it is the most common element on earth. In fact, it is an indispensable force for the body – unfortunately, it is increasingly scarce in horse feed, which is exactly 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 consists of the fossilized skeletons of single-celled algae, called diatoms. These micro-particles are so small (5 to 200 microns) that they cannot be seen with the naked eye – you need a microscope to admire them! On average, 50 to 100 diatoms fit on the tip of a needle. They form fantastic bio-geometric structures and can even be used for art. Yes, you read that right – there are people who create artworks from these microscopic wonders! Definitely worth seeing, the Art of Nature in action.

How does silicon work for your animal?
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 naturopathy, silicon is even seen as the receiver of cosmic energy, which promotes the regeneration of the body. This helps make every treatment a success – because who wouldn’t want a cosmic boost?

More benefits:

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

How it works:
Diatomaceous earth is not just a dusty powder – it is a lethal weapon against annoying little creatures! Thanks to its unique structure, made up of the fossilized skeletons of shellfish (which look like glass shards under the microscope), it has an enormous moisture-absorbing capacity. This makes it a natural dryer for uninvited guests such as lice, mites, and other unwanted critters that can nest in your horse’s coat. Thanks to the effective action of diatomaceous earth, they’ll find better places than your horse to settle!

The beauty of diatomaceous earth is that it doesn’t work so in-your-face like chemical agents. It works steadily, so you will probably need to repeat it a few times until the parasites are gone for good and your horse can live itch-free again.

Use with caution:
Although diatomaceous earth is harmless, you don’t want it to hang too much in the air or get into your horse’s eyes. It dries out strongly 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 makes your horse uncomfortable.

The ultimate multi-tasker for your horse and its environment. And the best part? It has no expiration date! So apply it, repeat it, and let nature do its work. 🌿
