Natural Heartworm Treatment & Cure

Since traditional heartworm treatments have ingredients that contain pesticides, they can cause serious side effects for your dog. Due to reports of serious problems associated with conventional treatments, many pet owners are exploring other treatment methods. If you want an alternative to conventional treatments, natural heartworm treatments and cures are an option.

  1. Description

    • Using a natural method of treating heartworm is not as simple as administering a pill. It involves combining a special diet with the use of herbs that support the heart and circulatory system.

    Herbs

    • There are several herbs, such as grapefruit seed extract, sorrel and black seed, that are helpful in treating and curing heartworm. Heartworm Free is a remedy that contains a combination of organic herbs, and it can help to remove worms from your dog's system. Studies done by Amber Technology from 2002 to 2005 show all of the dogs treated with Heartworm Free completely recovered within 16 weeks. You can purchase Heartworm Free and other similar treatments online or at natural health stores.

    Diet

    • If your dog eats a healthy diet and receives herbal treatments, the chances of a recovery are greater. You should avoid commercial dog foods that have preservatives, sugars or artificial additives. Feeding your dog a raw food diet that consists of 75 percent raw meat and 25 percent fruits and vegetables can help boost your dog's immune system and help him maintain a healthy heart.

    Advantages

    • Natural heartworm treatments and cures safely remove parasites and restore your dog's digestive health by cleansing and detoxifying his digestive system. Unlike chemical-based treatments, they are safer for your dog because they do not cause serious side effects. Since natural treatments kill worms more slowly than conventional treatments, they prevent dead worms from clogging your dog's blood vessels.

    Disadvantages

    • Because natural treatments may cure heartworms more slowly than conventional treatments, it may take longer for your dog to recover. Also, if your dog is severely infested with heartworms, natural treatments may not be effective.
