You cannot compare the two products
First they are TWO totally different approaches to therapy.
They are not even remotely comparable.
BOT reflects the animals body heat back to itself.
PHT products are designed and developed with the following in mind.
Homeostatic processes act at the level of the cell, the tissue, and the
organ, as well as for the horse as a ...whole.
Principal Homeostatic processes include the following:
1
) Temperature Regulation
The horse's body tries to maintain a constant body temperature. An advantage
of temperature regulation is that it allows the horse to function
effectively in a broad range of environmental conditions. That thermal
stability comes at a price, since an automatic regulation system requires
additional energy. If the temperature rises, the horse loses heat by
sweating, via the latent heat of evaporation. If it falls, this is
counteracted by increased metabolic action, by shivering, and by thickening
the hair coat.
2
) Regulation of the pH of the blood at 7.365
(a measure of alkalinity and
acidity
).
3
) Regulation of their blood glucose concentration
4
) The kidneys are used to remove excess water and ions from the blood.
These are then expelled as urine. The kidneys perform a vital role in
homeostatic regulation in horse's, removing excess water, salt, and urea
from the blood.
5
) If the water content of the blood and lymph fluid falls, it is restored
in the first instance by extracting water from the cells. The throat and
mouth become dry, so that the symptoms of thirst motivate the horse to
drink.
6
) If the oxygen content of the blood falls, or the carbon-dioxide
concentration increases, blood flow is increased by more vigorous heart
action and the speed and depth of breathing increases.
7
) Sleep timing depends upon a balance between homeostatic sleep propensity,
the need for sleep as a function of the amount of time elapsed since the
last adequate sleep episode, and circadian rhythms that determine the ideal
timing of a correctly structured and restorative sleep episode.
All PHT Products are designed with these principals in mind. We provide
products that will help your horse feel his best by providing a SAFE healing
environment.
