Our Beautiful Yantha

Toxic Load in Body

How Young When Vaccinated Initially, Cocktail: 2009-2012, chart below

Neutered / Spayed, when: Yes, unknown
Microchipped: Yes
Medications, Current: None, since adopting her June 2014
Flea / Tick: Unknown; none, since adopting her June 2014
Chemical Dewormers: Unknown; none, since adopting her June 2014

Yantha came to us via adoption from another family around 4.5 years of age. I did not obtain her vet records to reference; I only had her passport with all the vaccines listed. Therefore, I did not know everything that went into her body. Not sure why I did not obtain her veterinary history at the time, a huge miss on my part.

Healing Journey

When we see mucous in the eye, one may think infection. What we may not understand, and I did not at the time, is an eye producing mucous, means too much dampness is in the body.

2020, Yantha’ s right eye was mainly affected, expressing white / yellowish goo, with her left eye tearing a little. The side of the body matters as each is linked to meridians and vessels which run up into the head. link

This was not all the body was producing symptom wise though.

Process, How to Address

When what appears to be an infection is present, one must look to the whole body. Canines are exposed to dirty water, bacteria etc. all the time. Their systems, if running optimally, are designed to deal with nature.

So, when I see an eye infection or imbalance such as above, I look to the liver, and the whole body as well as supporting the eye to rid itself of any bacteria. Again, at this time, I did not know about dampness, one of the four environmental imbalances one might have in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Other Symptoms Presenting
  • Joints creaking when rising. Hips sore. (Dampness)
  • Moves very fast.
  • Eats dirt, and chews wood. (Stagnation in liver due to dampness)
  • Tricky – as she looks so good, fabulous weight, and happy. But her system is saying something very different and has now produced this eye symptom.

ABMS Process Update, 2025

Please know now I work heavily with dowsing clearing the unwanted and rebalancing the being using self-medication and homeopathy to support the healing process where chronic. And in many cases sodium bicarbonate as well as a change in diet to help the animal heal. Any imbalance such as this and the other symptoms say the gut is acidic and most likely leaking.

Supporting the Liver & Other Organs

At the time I was using self-selection heavily. Remedies supporting the eyes, and liver were offered.

First, I checked what minerals the animal may be short on. For Yantha, it was barley grass, loaded with minerals, high in magnesium, flax oil, high in Omegas, and some nettle, a known liver cleaner, and nourisher of the body. Licorice root, a major eye healer was not selected which was interesting information.

She had been choosing a lot of barley grass, and rose hips (collagen repair + Vitamin C)

Moving to smell, I offered her essential oils focusing on anti-bacterials, her system as a whole, with the focus on her liver.

Oregano essential oil was a strong focus with yarrow, and german chamomile supporting her. The citrus essential oils were also hugely selected as they focus on cleaning the liver, and other organs such as lime, and orange sweet.

Supporting the Eyes During the Process

German chamomile, and calendula flowers were both used to help the eyes heal. German Chamomile flowers, organic, images below, were placed in a measuring cup, and boiling water added, with a plate placed on top. This was allowed to ferment/steep to create a deep golden tonic.

The golden tonic was then strained into another vessel, which would hold the golden mixture for the day. Note: A new mixture made at least once daily. Fresh is best! Always applied once cooled, never hot.

Calendula flowers, images below, were also prepared in the same manner.

This mixture is also then strained, so no little bits were left in the brew. Once cooled, I then transferred the amount I wanted to use for a single application into a small glass bowl. Then I soaked a clean cloth, in this small bowl and then applied around her eyes, careful not to contaminate each eye with the other’s residue.

Before doing this though, I:

  1. Cleaned her eyes separately with a moist tissue to remove any residue, gunk, making sure I did not use the same tissue on both eyes. Dabbing not wiping is best as this is a very sensitive area.
  2. Made sure she was lying down in a comfortable space, where she was relaxed
  3. Explained to her what I was going to do
  4. Let her smell the liquid, before applying
  5. Sat down with her, so she was even more relaxed
  6. Gently applied the soaked cloth over both eyes, and sat with her in a calm state
  7. I allowed her to tell me when it was enough, there was never any force

Please know – covering an animal’s eyes is a big deal to them. Trust must be instilled so they feel comfortable with the process and know they can always say “no”. This is very important. We must always honor them.

Supporting the Body

Diet Adjusted

  • Animal protein was decreased to 25%, a few broth days were introduced to allow the system to clean.

    When a system is compromised, food is limited so the body’s resources can go to cleaning. This is vital. As we want the body to clean, and it cannot be very effective if the body is constantly having to allocate its energy resources to digestion and processing out the waste. I always test the animal’s system to see what is best for them individually though.
  • In Traditional Chinese Medicine, damp foods must be eliminated, and protein limited so the liver is not under so much pressure. For more information, I suggest reading Four Paws, Five Directions by Dr. Cheryl Schwartz, a fabulous investment for the animal library. This is a great summary below too.
  • Yantha was not fed any of these foods, but the raw food would have been impacting her gut contributing to the dampness and bacteria load as I am sure it was leaking looking back.

2025 September | Brave Ai Reports:

Foods That Cause Dampness

  • Foods that are considered to contribute to the formation of dampness in the body are generally those that are cold, raw, greasy, sweet, or difficult to digest, as they can weaken the digestive system’s ability to transform and transport fluids, leading to dampness accumulation.
  • Common culprits include dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter, and cream, which are heavy and cooling in nature and can be hard to break down, especially for those with weakened digestion, potentially leading to phlegm and mucus buildup. Refined sugars and concentrated sweets, including candy, soda, and sweetened yogurt, are particularly noted for quickly creating dampness because they impair the body’s ability to transform food into energy and transport waste. Processed foods, baked goods, and cereals made with wheat or refined flour are also associated with dampness due to their thickening and sticky nature.
  • Foods that are raw or served cold, such as raw salads and iced beverages, are considered damp-inducing because they weaken the digestive fire and slow down digestion. Greasy and fried foods, especially deep-fried items, contribute to dampness by overburdening the digestive system.
  • Pork and other rich fatty meats are also listed as foods to avoid, as they can promote dampness. Additionally, certain fruits like bananas and concentrated fruit juices, particularly orange and tomato juice, are considered damp-producing.
  • Overconsumption of any food, regardless of type, can impede digestion and lead to the accumulation of semi-transformed food and fluids, which becomes dampness.

Sambucus

  • 5ml given daily in a clean bowl – she chose to take it or not; very high in Vitamin C

Cod Liver Oil

  • 5ml given daily in a clean bowl – she chose to take it or not; high in omegas and immune supporting properties.
  • 2025 | I am very careful what is on the market right now as most of what is sold, even the good suppliers have adulterated their product making it toxic to the animals. So, please muscle test each and every product before giving it to your animal.

Chiropractor

  • As Yantha, moved fast and furious, I wanted to check her skeletal system to see if anything was out of alignment which might be compromising her system. If the skeletal system is not in alignment, it can then be pressuring parts of the body, weakening the structure. So, my goal is to always, strengthen the whole body. She required adjustments all along her back.

Energy Healings

  • These were given to her to help all her physical and energetic bodies repair.

In memory of our beloved Yantha.
You are remembered, and loved to the moon and back daily!
Namaste’ beautiful soul.
