Essential Oil and Animals

Despite rumors to the contrary, pets and other animals tend to heal quickly and experience relief when natural essential oils are used in their treatment.

I've been reading, recently, more about the kinds of success stories some people are having by using essential oils - specifically, therapeutic-grade oils - with their pets. Dogs with allergies, bad-tempered cats, budgies off their feed and losing feathers, horses with injuries and sprains - all of these and more seem to respond only positively to real* essential oils.

(*Nota: Most essential oils sold in stores are not pure and are NOT SAFE to apply to animals or to use ourselves. See the above link on therapeutic grade oils for details.)

Even though their bodies are built differently from ours, there is a real overlap in the natural treatments that are effective for most animal species. Sometimes I think it's pretty darn amazing that the same herbs will work to relieve indigestion in an adult human, a baby, and for my dog, cats, and more.
