How to use
All Agripathics remedies are provided in liquid form, as this has proven to be the most practical and effective method of administration across species.
Individual Use:
For optimal absorption, remedies are best applied to a mucus membrane. In dairy cows, this typically means the nose or vulva. During milking, the vulva offers a convenient access point. A suggested approach is to spray 3–4 times per dose, ideally at three intervals: when the cow enters the shed, when cups are put on, and again at cup removal. This spacing allows for a minimum five-minute interval between applications, supporting consistent uptake and response.
For other farm animals, placing the remedy directly into the mouth or via food or water is generally the most effective method.
Group Use:
For herd-wide support, remedies can be added to the water trough. Adding 1–2 capfuls ensures that each animal receives a dose with every drink, allowing for repeated exposure throughout the day.

Ingredients
Homeopathic Ingredient:
Urtica Urens 6c
Base Composition:
Formulated in a liquid base of ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base:
This product is preserved using certified organic ethanol derived from cane or wheat sources. The ethanol concentration is maintained at a gentle 10%, supporting product stability while remaining suitable for routine administration.
Ethanol and Dairy Cow Administration:
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most livestock tolerate this well. It can be easily administered orally, applied to the vulva, or added to feed or water. For animals with known sensitivity or cautious administration, the following approaches may be used:
Dispense the drops into the feed and allow them to stand for 20 minutes before offering.
Dilute in a small volume of water and allow to stand for 20 minutes before administration.
Ingredient Philosophy We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our ethanol base reflects this commitment—organic, clean, and carefully balanced to align with the needs of production animals.
