EWALIA, the leading company in the field of liquid herbal feeding without artificial additives for horses and pets, has developed a product that can sustainably counteract Headshaking Syndrome in horses for the first time: “EWALIA Shaking Juice” was tested in a double-blind cross-over study on horses showing this syndrome. Already during the study conducted at the renowned Institute of Animal Nutrition and Functional Plant Compounds at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, under the direction of Univ.-Prof. Dr.sc.agr. Qendrim Zebeli, demonstrable successes were recorded.

Headshaking – a previously untreatable disease

In veterinary medicine, Headshaking is described as a complex of symptoms in which horses show violent and rhythmic head tossing or shaking without any recognizable external stimulus.

The study entitled “Investigation of the efficacy of a selected herbal juice as a supplementary feed in headshaking horses” now provides verifiable evidence that “EWALIA Shaking Juice” naturally helps to significantly alleviate the symptoms of Headshaking Syndrome.

The breakthrough with herbal blends of pharmacopoeia quality

The unique composition of EWALIA Shaking Juice, consisting of special water-based herbal extracts, supports the horses’ nervous system through its adaptogenic effects. The combination of taiga root, maca root, and rhodiola counteracts headshaking in a purely natural and significant way.

“Our research and development have focused on finding a natural solution for horses with headshaking, and we are delighted with the promising results of our study,” say Cornelia and Ewald Seidl – founders and managing directors of EWALIA. “EWALIA Shaking Juice is based on a carefully selected combination of herbs and roots that not only positively affect the well-being and nervous system of horses but also represent a significant advancement in the therapy of this previously considered incurable syndrome.”

The study clearly showed that the symptoms were significantly alleviated.

EWALIA Shaking Juice, made with purely natural ingredients and herbs of pharmacopoeia quality, was examined in the study “Investigation of the efficacy of a selected herbal juice as a supplementary feed in headshaking horses.” The study was conducted with a sample of 53 horses over a period of 28 days. During this time, the normal dosage was maintained according to EWALIA’s recommendation. The results show a significant reduction of symptoms, both at rest and in motion. Furthermore, it was noted that some owners were again able to train their horses at all times of day without the horses exhibiting severe headshaking.

The majority of horses appeared more relaxed during the administration of EWALIA Shaking Juice, both when being ridden and when on the pasture or in the stable. This effect is attributed to the combination of maca, rhodiola, and taiga root, which have a positive influence on coping with stressful situations and increased performance demands.

Groundbreaking discovery for affected horse owners and highly interesting for treating veterinarians

The preliminary results are extremely promising and offer a new approach to improving the well-being of horses with Headshaking Syndrome – for affected horse owners as well as treating veterinarians.

The complete scientific paper of the study is available in the appendix and emphasizes the significance of this groundbreaking discovery in equine therapy.
