What Are The Benefits Of Using Aromatherapy On Dogs?
Though I did not dwell much about the benefits of using aromatherapy on dogs on my previous post, clearly you have a good ideal on how essential oils are used as a form of therapeutic remedy in treating medical and behavior disorders on dogs or pets.
Without further ado, here are just some of the beneficial responses to aromatherapy on dogs.
Anaemia: Marjoram
Arthritis: Juniper, Birch, and Rosemary.
Boosting Energy: Rosemary, Lavender, and Peppermint.
Digestive Disorder: Caraway and Coriander.
Ear Infection: From excess wax to foul odor. Clove, Thyme, Lemon, and Olive oil.
Fleas, Ticks, and Lice problems: Cedarwood, Lemon, Rosemary, Lavender, Mint, and grapefruit.
Hyperactivity and Anxiety: Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage, and Frankincense.
Pain Killer: Lavender and Marjoram
Pet Odor: Lavender, Geranium, and Lemon
Skin illnesses: From dermatitis, eczema to abscess. Lavender, Rosemary, Cedar, and Thyme.
Weight Loss: Mint. A super remedy for those porky dogs who have trouble getting off the couch.
Please, please, please say NO to the latest fad about diet pills for dogs. I wonder what’s next? Tummy Tuck or Liposuction for Dogs? Botox or Collagen Cream for Dogs whose owners desire to retain their dogs’ puppyish look?
Important note: Please do not adminster these essential oils without consulting your holistic veterinarian. If you are interested in using aromatherapy home treatments, I’ll be happy to post some common remedies along with basic instructions and essential oils concoction in near future. So keep your eyes peeled for it or check out my archives periodically.

Jan, is there a vacant house for sale around your home? I want to move closer to you so I can “steal” your herbs. I might even make some herbal remedies for your Poodles.
