Scratching that itch: Micro Med
Who doesn’t know someone whose dog is being driven crazy with excessive, and persistent itching and scratching or other skin complaints?
One Auckland-based pet business is taking a radically refreshing approach to overcoming a multitude of pet health issues by applying the principles of naturopathy and functional medicine to your pet. As a director and naturopathic nutritionist, Maria Brown is determined to bring about a paradigm shift in the way we think about and address our pets’ health.
Instead of grabbing a bottle of pills or a potion, in the quick-fix ‘pill-for-an-ill’ fashion, she challenges pet owners to pause and focus on root causes, and to not just treat symptoms. Empowering pet-parents to work through a simple and empowering process, based on the foundations to optimum health, she lays out steps to strengthen a pet’s health, using diet, microbial balance, restoring gut integrity and improving liver and kidney function.
“No-one can argue our pets are up against a myriad of chemicals on a daily basis, added to the chemical and heavy metal load they already carry. My ‘Spring Spring-Clean Checklist’ may be just what your pet needs,” she says. For a copy email sales@micromed.org.nz
Maria is amazing. Following her instructions my girl’s itching stopped in 4 days. After dealing with itching that made her lick her skin raw for FoUR years (we medicated for it at great cost).
