VETERINARY HERBAL MEDICINE
Dr Joan is fully qualified in Veterinary Western Herbal Medicine.
All animals benefit from the integration of herbal medicine
into their treatment plans.
Using the science & traditions of Veterinary Herbalism, medicinal plants are blended to form a medical prescription. We can use dry or liquid herbs in powders, tonics, or teas. These treatments may be combined with traditional pharmaceuticals to provide holistic care - we treat the "whole animal",
not just the presenting disease or condition.
THERAPEUTIC LASER THERAPY (TLT)
Low-level laser therapy uses light of different wavelengths to stimulate
positive changes within the cells of damaged tissues.
The process of these changes is called "Photobiomodulation" (PBM).
PBM provides increased "fuel" for the cells with the following effects:
-
promoting cell proliferation
-
enhancing the rate of wound healing
-
reducing inflammation and swelling
-
providing analgesia and pain relief
-
antibacterial effects, reducing infection
IN-CLINIC PATIENTS
TLT is used in all facets of our clinical work, for all animals, small and large.
Wound care in any animal, cruciate injuries in dogs, or tying up in horses are just a few examples where TLT can be applied. HIRE UNITS are available for our own clients; animals can be treated at home, reducing vet clinic visits.
OUT-CLINIC PATIENTS
Dr Joan provides TLT treatment sessions for outside Veterinary Clinics.
We can visit your clinic to treat your patients at a pre-arranged time.
WILDLIFE CLINICS
Dr Joan provides voluntary work for Wildlife Veterinary Clinics, where
TLT sessions will be provided for FREE. The rapid wound healing provided by TLT is especially useful for wildlife, where reducing time in captive care is ideal.
EQUINE SPORT & RACEHORSES
TLT is especially useful to provide accelerated wound care for Equine sport horses to allow efficient injury repair, reduced downtime, and rapid return to work.
Horses can be treated as clinic patients or sessions arranged at your regular veterinarian's clinic. Trainers are welcome to contact us directly.

In our Veterinary Herbal Apothecary, we compound HoneyPro Vet Organic Vet Products.
This is a range of Herbal & Organic Wound Care Products & Feed Supplements
Dr. Joan Deetman has always been passionate about cosmetic wound healing in her patients. With Continuing Veterinary Education as a Veterinary Herbalist & long experience in the use of honey in wound therapy, Joan created a range of organic treatment products for daily use in her clinic. These products are now available for all pet owners.
The HoneyPro range of products allows Dr. Joan to practice Integrative Veterinary Medicine. Traditional Veterinary therapies are combined with Veterinary Western Herbal Medicine. The HoneyPro range of products has expanded to include wound care products, animal tonics, teas, and feed supplements for horses, dogs, cats, and farm animals.
Research Publication
As part of her recently completed Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Western Herbal Medicine, Dr Joan has published a research article. Her research focuses on evaluating the potential of Calendula (Calendula officinalis) infused Omega-3 oils to assist in protecting the equine stomach from ulcer formation.
