THESE RECIPES ARE DESIGNED FOR DOGS.

1. Make a natural flea repellent by adding six or seven drops of the essential oils of rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, Mel A (tea tree), and citronella to a cup of water and shaking well. Use a spray bottle to apply the solution to your dog's coat every other day.

1/2 teaspoon Alcohol
1 Drop Cedarwood Essential Oil
1 Drop Lavender Essential Oil

I found the following chart showing how much you should dilute your essential oils when using them on your pet. Make sure you use an oil like, coconut, almond or olive oil. DO NOT USE COOKING OIL!!!!



Good to know - basic dilution guide for dogs:
0-25lbs – 75% dilution (1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier oil)
26-45lbs -50-75%
46-75lbs – 50%
76-90lbs – 25-50%
90-150lbs-25%

+150lbs – 0-25%

Mukluk wanted some Raven

Poor Mukluk (He's the black dog) he was sneezing / coughing / wheezing from what sounded deep within his lungs. He was unable to stop and the usual rubbing of the throat that works for my other dog, Ootagoo was not working for Mukluk. I rummaged through my oils and grabbed the Raven which is good for respiratory issues. I opened the bottle and Mukluk came over to smell it. This is the first time he has done this. Then, to my surprise, he turned his body so I could apply the oil to the usual location for him which is between his shoulder blades. My mom and I were shocked!!! This is also a first for me :) Apparently, after smelling the oil Mukluk knew he needed / wanted that one. Usually we do a dance with the Lavender bottle at night when I want him to calm down and he isn't ready to sleep yet! A few sneeze / cough / wheezes later, he had stopped and didn't have another episode the rest of the night!  One happy momma right here!

Get your bottle of Raven today!!!

Sore Throat help

This past weekend, I started to get a super sore throat. After a week in a new school and an evening of football I figured my immune system was a little weak. I had developed an annoying cough as well. I tried some water and some gum but neither worked. As soon as I was able to, I put a drop of Young Living Theives Essential Oil on my finger and rubbed it on the back of my tongue near my throat. It numbed my throat a little and allowed me to stop coughing. I didn't have a cough at all for the rest of the weekend.
