Animals and Essential Oils

Last week I was in a cancer center with a family member who had just received devastating news.  Emotions were running high, tears were flowing, and sadness filled the room.  As we walked out of the consultation room and stopped at the receptionist desk to schedule further appointments, something happened that lifted our spirits. 

Through the front doors of the center came Apollo, a yellow Labrador therapy dog.  Apollo was there for the sole mission of helping us humans feel better.  All of my family members dropped to their knees to pet Apollo, and receive that unconditional love that we as humans always receive from our pets.  I walked out of the center that day, thinking about the joy and happiness we receive from our pets.  Even at some of the saddest times in our lives, our pets can help us feel joy again.

Animals can offer some of the most comforting and rewarding relationships in a human life.  They offer their love unconditionally and give us their friendship without hesitation.  As pet owners, we have the responsibility of taking care of them by providing food, shelter, and providing them with good health care.   One of the best things we can do for our pet is to help them maintain their health in a 100% natural way.

Essential Oils have been successful in treating and helping a wide variety of animals.  From small kittens to large draft horses, many have benefited from these oils natural and powerful properties.  Using Essential Oils on animals has helped to support a healthy immune system, repel viruses, and elevate moods.  The following are a few oils that have proven to be successful when used on animals:

•  Aroma Life will bring vitality to the heart and circulation when applied to the tips of the ears and over the heart.
• Aroma Siez will help your pet to relax when they are experiencing stress due to injury or fatigue.
• Basil will help support your animal’s health and relieve minor aches and pains while also acting as a stimulant.
• Cedarwood calms nervous tension and helps with skin and surface issues.

Our pets deserve to receive the best care we can provide them.  They do so much for us; let’s do the same for them.  For more information on how Essential Oils can benefit the health of your pet, please contact 707-928-5044.

"I noticed we have not had a flea problem since we have been diffusing
Purification on a regular basis. We used to have to put that stuff we got
from the vet on behind the dogs neck every year. We have not done that in 2
years. This was just a by product of our quest for better family health." -

"I discovered over the holiday weekend that Peace and Calming also works
wonders for dogs that get frightened by fireworks. I have a dog that just
freaks out. She normally cannot be consoled or controlled, she literally
will claw the skin right off of whoever is trying to hold her. Well, doused
with Peace and Calming on the pads of her paws and inside her earflap, and
down the middle of her muzzle, she slept like a baby and didn't show the
least concern. This is truly a blessing for an animal, and much better than
trying to tranquilize them. I applaud the groomers, vets, and kennels that
are thoughtful enough to P&C. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of the pet
industry caught on to Peace and Calming? Peace and Blessings," - Nancy

My husband Blaine and his best friend Toby Robertson went on a camping trip
and they traveled a great distant on horses and by the time they were about
home one day away our dog Happy could hardly walk because her feet were so
sore. So Blaine applied lavender to her feet that night and the next
morning she was like she was on day 1 when the started.
Nancy

I bought a couch at a yard sale and put it by a big window and when I came
home the house smelled like cat urine. I called Nancy Sanderson and she
suggest that I use Purification in a spray bottle on the couch. Now it is
like a new couch without the odor.
Patsy

I applied 2 drops lemon in my hands and rubbed them together and pet my cat
and the flea took of for other places. Also I put around 30 drops of
peppermint in water and spritz my horses to keep the mosquitoes off.

The Essential 7 kit - Perfect for use with pets and people!! A variety of
single and blended essential oils for daily use. Conveniently packaged for
those on-the-go. The Essential 7 kit was created so that anyone could
immediately use and appreciate the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential
oils. These oils may be used as dietary supplements, diffused, added to
bathwater, applied on location, spritzed on your pet, or used with body
massage. Refer to the individual oils for specific benefits and instructions

The kit contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula Augustifolia), Lemon
(Citrus limon), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and four blends: Purification,
Joy, Peace & Calming, and PanAway.

Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils and has been highly
regarded as soothing to the skin. The French scientist René Gattefossé was
the first to discover these properties when he severely burned his arm in a
laboratory accident. It can be used to cleanse cuts, bruises, scrapes, and
skin irritations, including hot spots. Lavender has also been studied for
its relaxing effects, both physically and emotionally.

Lemon helps support the immune system, according to Jean Valnet, M.D. It can
serve as an insect or flea repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. Add
a few drops to distilled water and spritz on your pet for a refreshing lift
after an active day. Can add lemongrass or rosemary to the water

Peppermint is soothing to the digestive system. Jean Valnet, M.D. studied
peppermint’s ability to affect the liver and respiration. Scientists have
also researched peppermint’s role in affecting impaired taste and smell and
mental accuracy when inhaled. Useful for digestive upset and to enhance your
pet’s appetite.

Joy is an exotic blend of lemon (Citrus limon), ylang ylang (Cananga
odorata), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), mandarin (Citrus reticulata), rose
(Rosa damascena), and other essential oils that produces an uplifting
magnetic energy bringing joy to the heart. When diffused, it can be
refreshing and uplifting.

PanAway was created by Gary Young as a result of an injury in which he
severely tore the ligament in his leg. This blend contains birch (Betula
alleghaniensis), which has an active principle similar to cortisone; clove
(Syzygium aromaticum), which contains eugenol, a constituent used by
dentists to numb gums; peppermint (Mentha piperita), calming for nerves; and
helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), soothing to localized discomfort.

Peace & Calming is a gentle, fragrant blend especially designed for
diffusing. Its components [orange (Citrus sinensis), tangerine (Citrus
nobilis), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), patchouly (Pogostemon cablin), and
blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum)] promote relaxation and a deep sense of peace.
When massaged on the pads of your pet’s feet, it can be a wonderful prelude
to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and
comforting to your pet during an overactive, stressful day.

Purification is a blend of purifying essential oils, such as citronella
(Cymbopogon nardus), myrtle (Myrtus communis), lemongrass (Cymbopogon
flexuosus), and melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia). When diffused, it can
neutralize mildew, disagreeable pet odors and help cleanse the air. When
applied directly to the skin, Purification can be excellent for soothing
insect, flea or tick bites and for cleansing cuts and scrapes.

Equine first aid

My horse had a small gash on his hip (from going into his stall too quickly
and caught himself on the sliding bolt latch). It was fairly deep, maybe 1/2
inch or so and about three inches long - some may have thought he'd need
stitches.

Anyway, I used Animal Scents ointment and LavaDerm Spray. First I 
sprayed the LavaDerm then applied a decent amount of ointment in and
around the gash twice a day for about three days then I applied once a day.
It was healing within the first few days and didn't develop proud flesh, no
scarring and no white hairs!!

I've used this another time on his chest. It looked like he had a small
puncture in his chest, maybe from a branch or something out in the pasture.
I had the same great result.

Good luck to you and your girl.

Doggie Tips

Oil for detoxing puppies after vaccination......................
I use YL Western Red Cedar (aka THUJA) applied topically on the dog
for a few days. I apply this routinely after I vaccinate my puppies for
distemper & parvo, it acts as a detox. I put a little under the chin, on
the head & around the vaccine site.
Liz Moore


Stops dog itching and chewing.............................
I apply Animal Scents Ointment to my dogs paws. This really helps her
not to itch and bite and lick her paws constantly. She knows when it is
bad & is always ready for me to apply the Animal Scents.

Yes, dogs CAN take Sulfurzyme, either the powder or the capsules.
Because I use Sulfurzyme in capsules for myself, I use it in that form
for my German Shepherds. If your dog does not like to drink
Sulfurzyme in its water, you could put it in the dog's food. I empty
2 Sulfurzyme caps and two BLM caps into my dogs' food bowls. [Do
NOT use BLM powder for dogs, though -- it has Xylitol.] I have been
told by several Young Living distributors, who have been around many
more years than I have been, that it is difficult to take too much
Sulfurzyme. For about five months I have been taking LOTS of
Sulfurzyme to help with some inflammation issues. I had been taking
about 15 capsules twice a day, using a pendulum to determine how many
caps to take. Apparently the Sulfurzyme is working. My
inflammation has improved, and now the number of capsules I need has
decreased dramatically -- down most days to about 6 capsules,
sometimes none. This stuff really works! Hope it helps your dog.

Healthy Pets the Natural Way

I watched a webinar last night that covered various ways that we can help our pets by giving them natural alternatives for their health and well-being. I noticed that from the various accounts that were presented that many times the Vets do not have remedies for serious health issues that animals face. The topics that were covered were:

Pain Relief without harmful drugs

Parasite control without using toxic chemicals

Colic relief without using drugs

Pet Aromatherapy

Pet Acupuncture

A massage technique that Young Living has made available for animals is the Animal Raindrop Technique. Here you use 9 essential oils, which you massage into the skin. This can relieve muscle tension, deeply energizes and is good for viruses in animals. Reflexology points in the paws of the animals are helpful to apply the oils to.

Pet Aromatherapy relives anxiety and helps to relax the animals. It boosts the immune system and reduces thunder phobia. Animal’s sense of smell is up to 1000 more powerful than ours. So diffusing essential oils for animals can be very effective means to get the molecules into the blood stream.  The micro size particles in each oil move into the air very quickly.

Pet Acupuncture is also a very effective way to relieve animals of anxiety, bring a calming energy and to reduce pain.

When applying Essential oils to animals how much should I use. Well on small animals 3-5 drops diluted can be applied. Large animals such as a large dog can use from 3-5 drops neat. And horses and cattle you can also apply the oil neat to the skin or dilute if desired with a Vegetable oil. Where should you apply the oils? Essential Oils can be applied to the paws and between the pods of the skin. Sometimes the paws can be very callus and it would be more effective to apply the oil between the pads. You can apply on the tips of the ears, spine or both. Often times one applies essential oils to the lips, gums, or tongue. The spine is another area to massage the oils into the skin. Or you can put Young Living's oils into capsules put on feed, or with a treat give to animal.

On jittery animals Peace and Calming Essential Oil Blend, Balsam Fir, or Valor Essential Oil Blend can be applied.

They also went over how to treat an injured or sick animal with Essential Oils. They suggested for viral or bacterial infections, arthritis, or bone injury that one should use the same oils and protocol recommended for humans.

Another suggestion was when applying to large open wounds or hard to reach areas that you could put the oils in a spray bottle and spray them directly on location. After the application of the oil to the wound you can apply Young Living’s Animals Scents, a very rich salve full of the essential oils of palmarosa, geranium, patchouli, Idaho balsam fir, tea tree myrrh, and rosewood. This ointment would seal and protect and disinfect the wound. It is for external use and good for post-surgery healing.  I personally love this ointment and use it all the time. My husband does too. We use it for all sorts of skin issues. I love to use it to soften my feet when they are dry and to protect my nails. My husband uses it for all sorts of skin abrasions.

They webinar went one for an hour and covered various topics, such as what supplements to use for various health issues for animals. And which essential oils to use for various health issues too. I found it very informative. And the speakers both had dogs, cats and horses and have used Young Living Products with great success for some very serious injuries. It is good to know that animals can be helped without the use of drugs for many health challenges. And Vets also back up the use of these products.

Dog in Cars and Essentail Oils

I have a little dog that has always hated riding in the car to the point that
he would shake and vomit. I've tried every prescription from the vet, and
just came to giving up on car rides unless absolutely necessary. Today
was one of those days. Necessary trip to the vet.

This time, I had a new plan. I first sprayed him all over with the
Lavender/Water Spray that I make for my dogs. Then, I diluted
Peace & Calming with Olive Oil and rubbed on the bottom of all 4 feet
between the pads. Lastly, I diluted Peppermint Oil with Olive Oil and
rubbed on his tummy to help prevent nausea.

Well, not only did he not throw up, but he was quite calm on the way
there, with just a little bit of nervousness. On the way home, he actually
hopped into the car himself (he's never done this in 4 yrs) and rode like
a champ, and actually looked comfortable! Amazing!

Live Well,
Kristen

Animal Care Tips

Since their has been some talk of animals and oils, thought I'd share this with all you. I am a wildlife rehabilitator, so this is my busy, busy season, 3 weeks today I got in a fawn that was grabbed and mauled by a dog as it was born, never even got the colestrum from mom, it didn't get to me till 48 hrs later, severely dehydrated, traumatized,in very poor shape,megga puncture wounds. She could not stand or suck, I feared capture myopathy. I used the oils on her, trauma life, helyichrysum, frankincense, thieves and myrhh and animals scents ointment, she stood and started sucking on her own on the 4th day. Then we had a rainy, rainy week, and although I kept her dry and in a boxstall, she came down with scours, she was treated with di-gize and this too cleared!

A week before she came in I recieived 5 critical raccoon kits, their digestive systems were in huge trouble, they had been fed the wrong things by the finders and 2 of them were shooting liquid green poo, (they were 2 separate litters)

I treated with YL Essentialzyme, Allerzyme and/or Detoxzyme, and di-gize essential oils blend, and these kits are thriving now and digesting their food normally!

I shared the oils with a fellow rehab friend who got in a raccoon hit by car, broken back, the vet had advised to put her down, I mailed her a bottle of Helyichrsum and a month later, she was walking!

I enjoy this group when I get time to read

Blessings to all

......another animal testimonial......dogs like Peace&Calming also......

I have 2 chihuahua's (m & f). The female has some sort of seizures when she get over heated or nervous. The vet originally recommended giving her phenobarbital but didn't sound to good to me. So I went to another Vet and he said not to give it to her, would damage her liver. These seizures normally last between 2 to 3 hrs. I have to hold her or lay her on the bed because her legs go stiff. She tries to get up and walk but she can't, she just falls over. I make sure I am with her constantly. I know when she is fixing to have one because the muscle in her front legs start twitching. I started putting the peace & calming on her pads and it's stops the siezures completely. I am so blessed to be a part of Young Living. I am so happy that I found something natural to stop these seizures, I hate to see my baby go through this. I make sure she is always in a calm atmosphere, doesn't get over heated and nothing upsets her. When I take her to the vet just to get her nails trimmed it was always such a procedure to try and keep her calm afterwards and now just a couple of drops on her pads before the Vet trip and she is fine also. Also, my male chi is deathly afraid of fireworks and the Peace & Calming Essential Oil blend works on him as well.

MoreTips on Animal Care and Therapeutic Essential Oils

For internal use (ingestion), essential oils can be put into a capsule
and mixed with the feed.

On large animals, the animal's bottom lip can be pulled out and (for
example, in case of a horse) 10-15 drops of oils put in. The animal will feel
the effect quickly because capillaries. in the lip will carry the oil into the
bloodstream immediately. For a large dog 1-3 drops is sufficient.

When treating animals with essential oils internally, make certain the
oils used are PURE and Free of chemicals, solvents, and adulterants. Always
seek the advice of a qualified veterinarian before allowing the animals to
ingest essential oils.

Other Helpful Tips:

When treating large animals for viral or bacterial infections,
arthritis, or bone injure, generally use the
same oils and protocol recommended for humans.

For applying to large open wounds or hard-to-reach areas, it helps to
put the oils in a spray bottle and spray them directly on location.

After an oil application to an open wound, cover the wound with Animal
Scents Ointment to seal it and protect it from further infections. The
ointment will also prevent the essential oils from evaporating into the air.

There is no right or wrong way to apply essential oils. Every animal
is a little different. Use common sense and good judgment as you
experiment with different methods. Observe carefully how the
animal responds to the treatment.

Take special care not to get essential oils in the animals eyes.

Make sure the animal is drinking pure water. Chlorinated water will
suppress thyroid and immune function in animals even quicker than in humans,
and when that happens, you will suppress the healing process of that animal
whether it is a dog, a horse or a cat.

Quality protein is vitally important to promote healing, which makes
the use of organic feed essential. Unfortunately many commercial feed contain
bovine byproducts that have high risk for BSE disease and make them unfit or
animal care. Avoid these at all costs. Enzymes are also essential to maximize
digestion and protein assimilation.

The Essential 7 kit - Perfect for use with pets and people!! A variety of single
and blended essential oils for daily use. Conveniently packaged for those on-the-go.
The Essential 7 kit was created so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate
the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. These oils may be used as dietary
supplements, diffused, added to bathwater, applied on location, spritzed on your pet,
or used with body massage. Refer to the individual oils for specific benefits and instructions.

The kit contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula Augustifolia), Lemon
(Citrus limon), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and four blends: Purification, Joy,
Peace & Calming, and PanAway.
Active Ingredients:

Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils and has been highly
regarded as soothing to the skin. The French scientist René Gattefossé was
the first to discover these properties when he severely burned his arm in a
laboratory accident. It can be used to cleanse cuts, bruises, scrapes, and
skin irritations, including hot spots. Lavender has also been studied for its
relaxing effects, both physically and emotionally. Helpful for puppies to
sleep all night. Or if they get to wild, Put on all paws. ( My husband, Blaine
and a friend of his went on a camp trip and your Golden Retiever, Happy
went with them. It was a 11 day trip and by the time they came out the second
to the last day, Happy could hardly walk because her feet hurt her so bad.
Blaine applies Lavender on all her pads that night and the next morning
it was like she had never had any problems at all. Frost bite from the snow
apply lavender to paws.)

Lemon helps support the immune system, according to Jean Valnet,
M.D. It can serve as an insect or flea repellent and may be beneficial for
the skin. Add a few drops to distilled water and spritz on your pet for a
refreshing lift after an active day. Brain function is enhanced 32% by
smelling Lemon Oil; 62% by diffusing it. (This is great to apply to the
collar as flea or mosquitoes do not like lemon nor do they like lemongrass.)

Peppermint is soothing to the digestive system. Jean Valnet, M.D. studied
peppermint's ability to affect the liver and respiration. Scientists have also
researched peppermint's role in affecting impaired taste and smell and mental
accuracy when inhaled. Useful for digestive upset and to enhance your pet's
appetite. Put a few drops in a spritzer with water an spray in mouth to get
rid of doggie breath. ( I have spritzed my animals with peppermint water to
keep mosquitoes away.)

Joy is an exotic blend of lemon (Citrus limon), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata),
bergamot (Citrus bergamia), mandarin (Citrus reticulata), rose (Rosa damascena),
and other essential oils that produces an uplifting magnetic energy bringing joy to
the heart. When diffused, it can be refreshing and uplifting.

PanAway was created by Gary Young as a result of an injury in which he severely
tore the ligament in his leg. This blend contains wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens),
which has an active principle similar to cortisone; clove (Syzygium aromaticum),
which contains eugenol, a constituent used by dentists to numb gums; peppermint
(Mentha piperita), calming for nerves; and helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum),
soothing to localized discomfort. ( I have applied it to Happy for her hip problems
and it takes the pain right away.) Also for bruising like what happened to this dog!

Peace & Calming is a gentle, fragrant blend especially designed for diffusing.
Its components [orange (Citrus sinensis), tangerine (Citrus nobilis), ylang ylang
(Cananga odorata), patchouly (Pogostemon cablin), and blue tansy (Tanacetum
annuum)] promote relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on
the pads of your pet's feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night's rest.
Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to your pet during an
overactive, stressful day. (I had a dog racer from Alaska stay at our guest ranch
during the dog race and had a dog that was really nervousness around crowds.
I gave him Peace & Calming to apply to her ears and back of neck. Plus some
of the dogs had sore pads from all the running. There I gave him Melrose to
put on the open sores on the pads. When the race was over he came to me and
thanked me for the help as all his dogs pads didn't bleed and hurt them the next
day and the dog that was nervous didn't have any problems.)

Purification is a blend of purifying essential oils, such as citronella
(Cymbopogon nardus), myrtle (Myrtus communis), lemongrass (Cymbopogon
flexuosus), and melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia). When diffused, it can
neutralize mildew, disagreeable pet odors and help cleanse the air. When
applied directly to the skin, Purification can be excellent for soothing insect,
flea or tick bites and for cleansing cuts and scrapes. (I use Purification or Melrose
just one drop on finger, rub finger and thumb together so there isn't so much
oil and then apply under kitten's eye when they have eye infection.)

Purification on a regular basis. We used to have to put that stuff we got
from the vet on behind the dogs neck every year. We have not done that in
2 years. This was just a by product of our quest for better family health." -

"I discovered over the holiday weekend that Peace and Calming also
works wonders for dogs that get frightened by fireworks. I have a dog that
just freaks out. She normally cannot be consoled or controlled, she literally
will claw the skin right off of whoever is trying to hold her. Well, doused with
Peace and Calming on the pads of her paws and inside her earflap, and
down the middle of her muzzle, she slept like a baby and didn't show the
least concern. This is truly a blessing for an animal, and much better than
trying to tranquilize them. I applaud the groomers, vets, and kennels that
are thoughtful enough to P&C. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of the pet
industry caught on to Peace and Calming? Peace and Blessings," - Nancy

"My 62 pound dog has hip dysplaysia and we give her 1/2 tsp. of the powdered
sulfurzyme every morning and again every evening and it has really been helpful
for her. We just put it on top of her dry food in the morning and then put a tsp.
of safflower oil for her coat on top and stir into the dried food. In the evening we
give her a large Tablespoon of canned dog food in with the dried food and the
sulfurzyme mixes very easily into that." - Debby Cason

Essential oils on our animals

Hi to all,
I wanted to take this time and share with you the
importantance in using the essential oils on our animals and what
to watch out for. There has been a lot of people asking what to
do for ticks and fleas. I hope this helps you all out.

To begin with here is a recipe I have used successfully for ring worm.

3 drops melaleuca [alternifolia]
2 drops spearmint
1 drop peppermint
1/4 oz V-6

Mix essential oils first then add the V-6 and apply to the ring worm.
I have used this on my children and it cleared up the ring worm.

The below information was taken out of the New EODR book on how to take
care of animals.

For ticks and fleas:

Animal Scents Shampoo:

This shampoo is designed to clean all types of animal fur and hair.
It has insect-repelling and killing properties and is designed to rid hair of
lice, ticks, and other insects. You may want to add more lemongrass to the
shampoo when washing your animals.

Oils repel fleas and other external parasites. Wash blankets with
oils added to the wash during the rinse cycle. Also, place 1-2 drops of
lemongrass on the collar to help eliminate fleas. Purification also repels ticks.

For more testimonies on ticks read below the info taken out of the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th editions:

To Remove Ticks:

Apply 1 drop cinnamon or peppermint on a cotton swab and swab on tick.
Then wait for it to release the head before removing from animal's skin.
I have used oregano, 1 drop on a tick and it backed out of there so
fast that you thought that it was hit with a hot poker and then it died.

How Should I Use the Oils on My Animals:

Most animals are more sensitive to the effects of essential oil. They
often seem to have a natural affinity to the healing influence of the oils.
Adjust the proportionately, based on body weight. If the protocol for a
human being (at about 160 lbs) calls for 3-5 drops, then a horse (at 1600 lbs
or more) could use as much as 10 times that amount, while a dog (at 16 lbs)
would use as little as one tenth that amount. Generally speaking, if you have
never put oils on an animal before, you should start carefully, applying them
only to the feet, paws, or hooves (on the frog and cornet bands at first.)

In case of cats and small dogs, essential oils should ALWAYS be
diluted before applying, because they are actually MORE sensitive to the
biochemical's in the oils than humans. Be careful to avoid high
phenol oils, such as oregano and thyme, on cats because they can be
extremely sensitive to these stronger oils. They should only be used in high
rates of dilution (90%) and the diluted oils should only
be applied to the paws.
(Use Special Caution with Cats:)

Cats metabolize things very differently from dogs and other animals.
Certain oils are potentially toxic to cats and could result in injury or even
death, if applied incorrectly. for example, cats generally have adverse
reactions to citrus products, and citrus oils are sometimes used to deter cats from
frequenting an area. Also, cats are very sensitive to strong odors. A safe
alternative, when in doubt, would be to mist them lightly with floral water.
Consulting with a veterinarian is a good policy before applying oils to cats
for the first time.

General Guidelines:

For small animals: (cats and small dogs) Apply 3-5 drops DILUTED
(80-90%) oil mixture per application.

For Larger animals: (large dogs) Apply 3-5 drops NEAT per application.

For large Animals: (cattle and horses) Apply 20-30 droops NEAT per
application.

How to Administer EOs Internally:Where to Apply Essential Oils to Animals:

For non-ungulate animals (not having hooves) such as dogs and cats,
oils (neat or diluted) can be applied to paws for faster absorption.

For hoofed animals, sprinkle a few drops on the spine or flanks and
massage then in, also apply on the gums, tongue or underneath the
the lip; also apply on the frog and cornet bands of hooves. These are
for oils to be applied to cows, horses, etc., all animals with hooves.
Oils can also be applied to auricular points of the ears.

When the Animal is Jittery and Resists:

If you have a high-spirited, jittery animal that won't be still to
receive the application, apply Peace & Calming and / or Valor on yourself first.
As you approach the animal, it will react as it perceives the aroma. Kneel
down or squat beside the animal and remain still for several minutes, so that
it can become accustomed to the smell. As the animal breathes in the
fragrances, it will become calmer and easier to manage. You won't have to
set on them.

Essential Oils First Aid Kit for Animals:
Animal Scents Ointment it is designed to cover and seal infected
wounds and seal in essential oils.

Exodus II for infection, inflammation; to promote tissue regeneration.

Helichrysum as a topical anesthetic.

Idaho Tansy is one of the most versatile oils for animals. It is
purifying, cleansing, tissue-regenerating, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic, and
is used for bruised bones, cuts, wounds, and coli. It repels flies.

Laurel for bruising and soreness.

Lavender for tissue regeneration, desensitizing wound.

Melrose for disinfecting and cleaning wounds.

Mountain Savory for reducing inflammation.

Myrrh for infection, inflammation; to promote tissue regeneration.

Ortho Ease to dilute essential oils with and act as a pain-reliever
and anti-inflammatory.

PanAway If the pain originates from a broken bone rather than an open
wound, use PanAway to kill pain in points where there is no open, raw tissue.
NOTE: Do not apply PanAway to open wounds be-cause it will sting and traumatize
the animal. Instead use helichrysum and balsam fir to reduce bleeding and pain.

Purification is more effective than using iodine or hydrogen peroxide
for washing and cleansing wounds. It repels ticks and mites.

Roman Chamomile for tissue regeneration, desensitizing wound.

Thieves for inflammation, infection and bacteria; for proudflesh
(where new tissue continues to rebuild itself causing excessive granulation) to
promote tissue regeneration.

Valerian can be used internally and externally for controlling pain.

Vetiver can be used internally and externally for controlling pain.

Good Luck with your animals. Nancy Sanderson
