What Are Essential OIls?

Essential Oils are described as the "Life-Blood" of a plant. They have been used for THOUSANDS of years and are referenced through history - dating back to 5000BC in ancient Egypt. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and potent, so we need very little, especially when working with small animals and children. For example, ONE DROP of peppermint oil is equivalent to roughly 28 bags of peppermint tea. Before we address HOW to use essential oils, let's first discuss why we use Young Living oils and what makes Young Living stand out from other brands.  and why Young Living oils can be used topically and internally, while other essentail oils (perfume oils) are only meant for aromatic uses.

Why Young Living?

Young Living is the ONLY Essential OIl brand with their own farms AND distilleries around the world. They offer the Seed to Seal promise, guaranteeing that every oil that arrives at your door meets Young Living's extremely high standards, where purity and potency are unmatched. Every single batch of oil is tested - there's no "random batch testing" or "we trust our sources". It's a guarantee that ALL of our oils are the best on the market. You can learn more about the ins and outs of the intricate process of producing AUTHENTIC 100% Pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils on the Seed to Seal site.

How Do I Use Essential Oils? Essential Oils can be Diffused, used Topically and/or Used Internally (depending on the oil). Please keep in mind that the average Dog's nose is 1000x more sensitive than a humans nose and a domestic cat's nose is about 14x as sensitive as a humans. Introduce Oils to pets SLOWLY. 

1.) Let your pet come to you, and let the first oil you introduce be a mild one. For example, lemon, orange or lavender are quite mild where peppermint is extremely strong.

2.) When diffusing, make sure the area is ventilated and the animal is not confined. Star diffusing in short segments and gradually increase the time. (when diffusing for trauma related purposes, allow the animal time alone to process)

3.) If you don't have a cold air diffuser, try a cotton ball or unbleached coffee filter. They can easily be hung in a stall or from a car vent (for companions with travel related anxiety). 

4.) Placing an oil on their favorite toy is a great introduction (and of course let them come to the toy)

5.) Placing oil on yourself is aromatherapy for your pet as well ;-)

A gentle floral midst of oils like lavender, orange, lemon or grapefruit is like home for the birds. A toothpick dipped is diluted oil may also be gently applied to the bottom of the birds feet.

Applying oils to the bottom of feet, paws and hooves are great options.

The Raindrop Kit comes with an instructional dvd and apply the dilution ratios listed above. Raindrop treatments could be used daily for severe medical concerns, otherwise monthly for maintenance.

*Don't wash your pet after a raindrop treatment and NEVER use water to dilute oils, since water and oils don't mix it could cause burning. Always use V-6 or other neutral oil like coconut oil or olive oil to dilute essential oils.

Also aids in immune system support and as protection from parasites.
