-Robyn, how much and how frequent do you recommend to give 
Thuja for sweet itch?  I just bought a small tube of the little tiny 
Thuja pellets.  Any idea on if it works to detox humans too?

Absolutely and if I am giving a remedy frequently over several days then I
do just that, dissolve 8-10 pellets in a bit of water in a dropper bottle
and just use that bottle for that horse.

I don't know why they couldn't be dissolved in water and then squirted 
into the mouth. A holistic vet once had me dissolve eyebright into
