Press: EWALIA Revolutionizes Horse Therapy

Austrian company revolutionises the treatment of horses / equine veterinary therapy: first demonstrable results for horses with Headshaking syndrome using EWALIA's Shaking Liquid.

St. Margarethen/Raab, Austria – April 30, 2024

EWALIA, the leading company in liquid herbal feed without artificial additives for horses and pets, has developed a product that, for the first time, can sustainably counteract Headshaking syndrome in horses in many cases: the "EWALIA Shaking Liquid" was tested on horses showing this syndrome as part of a double-blind crossover study. 

Headshaking, a Condition With No Treatment Until Now

In veterinary medicine, headshaking is described as a symptom complex in which horses display violent, rhythmic head tossing or shaking without any recognizable external trigger.

The study titled "Investigation into the Efficacy of a Selected Herbal Liquid as a Complementary Feed for Headshaking in Horses" showed that the "EWALIA Shaking Liquid" naturally helps to significantly reduce some symptoms of Headshaking syndrome.

The Breakthrough With Pharmacopoeia-Grade Herbal Blends

The unique composition of the EWALIA Shaking Liquid, made from special water-based herbal extracts, supports the horses' nervous system through its adaptogenic effect. The combination of Taiga root, Maca root and Rhodiola root significantly counters headshaking in a purely natural 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 – company founders and managing directors of EWALIA. "The EWALIA Shaking Liquid is based on a carefully selected combination of herbs and roots, which not only have a positive effect on the well-being of horses and positively influence the nervous system, but also represent a significant step forward in the treatment of this syndrome, which has so far been considered incurable."

The study clearly showed that the symptoms were significantly reduced.

The EWALIA Shaking Liquid, made with purely natural ingredients and pharmacopoeia-grade herbs, was examined as part of the study "Investigation into the Efficacy of a Selected Herbal Liquid as a Complementary Feed for Headshaking in Horses". The study was conducted with a sample of 53 horses over a period of 28 days. The results show a significant reduction in some symptoms, both at rest and in motion. In addition, it was noted that some owners were able to work their horses athletically again at any time of day, without the horses showing severe headshaking.

Most of the horses appeared more relaxed while being given the EWALIA Shaking Liquid, both when working under saddle and out in the pasture or stable. This effect is attributed to the combination of Maca root, Rhodiola root and Taiga root, which has a positive influence on how horses cope with stressful situations and increased performance demands.

A Pioneering Discovery for Affected Horse Owners and of Great Interest to Treating Veterinarians

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

The complete scientific paper on the study is available to you in the attachment and underlines the significance of this pioneering discovery in horse therapy.

FROM OUR OWN STABLE TO THE ENTIRE HORSE WORLD!

The idea for the herbal liquids was born in 2016 out of a private emergency. Cornelia's young competition horse "Quattro" suffered from a persistent, chronic cough and had been written off as "no longer rideable". After an unsuccessful search for a natural cough syrup without artificial ingredients and sugar, Cornelia and Ewald decided to develop such a product themselves.
