Essential Oils
Imagine walking through a rose garden, taking a hike in the woods, wandering in a lemon orchard.
What you are smelling is an essential oil. These oils give plants their characteristic aroma. Essential oils are the volatile aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of the plant and are obtained from the steam distillation of plant material.
Each essential oil contains specific benefits to which the emotions, body and mind respond. Essential oils help to improve mood, uplift the environment, purify the air and support the body. Pure essential oils are not greasy and are readily absorbed by the skin.
Essential oils are a wonderful tool to help keep you and your pet emotionally and physically healthy.
Essential oils can be right at your fingertips, easy to use, and can empower you to create a home that is calm, peaceful, and welcoming to both you and your pet. Both people and pets can benefit from the power of pure essential oils. The healing properties of essential oils dates back to ancient times. Essential oils are safe, natural and a great addition to you and your pet’s well-being.
So how do you use essential oils?
The safest and most effective ways to use 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils for your pets and yourself are topically and aromatically, dispersing essential oils into the air. Have you ever had an aromatherapy massage? Applying essential oils to your pet is just that – it is easy and helps to strengthen the bond and the connection you have with your faithful companion.
Use essential oils to uplift your pet and help them to feel more content and peaceful. Soothe your pets physical body by applying essential oils to help them move freely and improve digestion. Simply add 1-2 drops of essential oil to the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and pet your dog or cat. The oils may be applied on your pet’s body, tips of the ears, paws or any place your pet enjoys being touched except for in the eyes and inside the ears. It is more effective to use smaller, more frequent doses of oils than to apply too many drops at one time.
We can all relate to a home filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies or bread. Another way to benefit from essential oils is by diffusing them into the air. When an aromatherapy diffuser is used, the essential oil is broken into very small particles and make our homes smell heavenly. Not only will your home smell good but the essential oils are having a physical and emotional benefit on both you and your pets. Essential oils purify the air, promote easeful breathing, restful sleep and create a peaceful environment.
