Q3:

HOW SHOULD I STORE MY HERBS?
A3: IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP ALL LIDS AND CAPS TIGHTLY CLOSED ON YOUR HERBS AND STORE THE HERBS IN AN AREA OUT OF THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT, HUMIDITY, AND EXTREME TEMPERATURES. NEVER STORE HERBS IN A PLASTIC CONTAINER THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR ANOTHER PRODUCT.  i.e. kitty litter, dog food etc. THIS WILL WEAKEN THE HERBS.
Q4:

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE ON THE HERBS?
A4: IF STORED CORRECTLY THE HERBS HAVE UP TO 2 YEARS SHELF LIFE. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR HERBS THERE WILL BE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON THE BATCH LABEL.
Q5:

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE HERBS TO WORK?
A5: THE ABSORBTION TIME CAN VARY FROM EACH HORSE AND PONY, BUT ON AVERAGE IT TAKES ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS FOR THE DRY HERBS AND 5-7 DAYS FOR THE LIQUID TO ABSORB. ONCE THE HERBS ARE IN THE ANIMALS SYSTEM WE RECOMMEND ALLOWING AN ADDITIONAL 4 WEEKS FOR THE HERBS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
Q6:

WILL MY HORSE EAT THE HERBS?
A6: MOST HORSES READILY EAT THE HERBS, BUT THERE ARE A FEW THAT SHY FROM THE HERBS. WE SUGGEST ADDING THE HERBS TO YOUR HORSES DIET SLOWLY. IF YOU OVERWHLEM THEM WITH TOO MANY SCOOPS OR MLS AT ONE TIME, THEY MAY BE MORE RELUCTANT TO EAT THEM. START OUT WITH A PINCH OR SMALL HANDFUL AND BUILD THEM UP TO THE FULL DOSAGE DAY BY DAY.
Q7:

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DRY AND LIQUID PRODUCTS?
A7: THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DRY AND LIQUID FORMS OF THE HERBS IS THE TIME IT TAKES THE HORSE TO ABSORB THE HERBS. THE LIQUID HERBS ABSORB INTO THE ANIMALS SYSTEM IN 5-7 DAYS, WHERE THE DRY TYPICALLY TAKES UP TO 2-3 WEEKS. OCCASSIONALLY A HORSE/PONY WILL RESPOND BETTER TO ONE FORM OVER THE OTHER. THERE IS NO REAL EXPLANATION TO THIS OTHER THAN IT IS JUST AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE.
Q8:

CAN I MIX SEVERAL PRODUCTS?
A8: IN GENERAL THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MIXING SEVERAL OF HILTON’S HERBAL MIXTURES. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PLEASE CALL AND SPEAK TO OUR FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF.
Q9:

CAN THE HERBS CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS?
A9: AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO AN HERBAL MIX IS VERY RARE, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. IF YOUR HORSE IS GOING TO HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE HERBS IT IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO HAPPEN WITHIN 12-24 HOURS AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED THE MIX. IF YOU FEEL YOUR HORSE IS HAVING A REACTION TO THE HERBS BE SURE TO DISCONTINUE THEM IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE HEALING BARN FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
Q10:

WHICH IS BETTER-DRY OR LIQUID HERBAL MIXTURES?
A10: ESSENTIALLY THE HERBAL MIXTURES ARE IDENTICAL OTHER THAN ONE BEING A LIQUID AND THE OTHER A DRY HERB. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO ABSORB QUICKLY THEN GO WITH THE LIQUID HERB, BUT IF ABSORBTION TIME IS OF NO CONCERN THEN BOTH THE HERBS ARE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE.
