What are melanomas?

Melanomas are skin tumors that arise from excessive production of pigment cells (melanocytes). This excessive cell division results in a bump/tumor called a melanoma. The skin of fungi and piebald horses contain more melanocytes, which is why these horses are more sensitive to melanomas, but melanomas can occur in horses of all colors and breeds.

The growths are most common around the anus, on the base of the tail, genitals, and head. Some melanomas are visible on the outside, but they also grow internally. Therefore, they can cause a lot of problems, for example, around the anus where they can press against the rectum.

Melanomas usually occur in horses over 10 years old and can be benign or malignant. If melanomas grow excessively or spread, they are usually considered malignant melanomas.

How to treat melanomas?

Every melanoma is different, making treatment difficult. There is no one treatment that can be used for all melanomas. A veterinarian will assess each horse individually to determine the right approach. Through a biopsy, the vet can examine a piece of tissue to determine whether the melanoma is benign or malignant. Sometimes melanomas are removed if they cause discomfort to the horse. This can be done by surgically removing the melanoma or using liquid nitrogen. As a horse owner, you can also support your horse with supplements. The combination of triphala and black cumin contributes to this!

Why triphala and black cumin for melanomas

Did you know that black cumin is used in many countries for cancer treatment? Thymoquinone is the active ingredient in black cumin and has extremely potent medicinal properties. It is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and also antiparasitic, antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial. Another property of black cumin is that it helps suppress cancer cells. This has been demonstrated in humans for various types of cancer, reducing tumor growth rates by at least 50%. Additionally, it promotes the growth of healthy bone marrow.

Black cumin can help horses with melanomas by slowing down the growth of melanomas, improving the horse's immune system, and supporting and protecting the skin.

Research has also been conducted on triphala in humans with melanomas and other types of cancer. Triphala has been shown to have a positive impact on inhibiting the growth of melanomas. It has particularly positive results with skin cancer.

Therefore, the combination of these two products is highly recommended for horses with melanomas. The two substances complement each other and support each other. This supports the inhibition of melanoma growth and possibly even a decrease in growth.
