For all my furry friend owners...We have been using essential oils instead of flea meds as well as using them for ear issues. Our whole family uses them for various things that pop up. I love essential oils and how effective they are. The information on this page is for educational purposes only. It is not meant to be used to diagnose, prescribe, or treat any disease, illness, or injury. Seek professional medical attention if your animal appears to have any disease, illness, or injury. One to two drops of essential oil is all that is necessary on animals, as they respond much more quickly to the essential oils than do humans. Vegetable oil can be added to extend essential oils over larger areas and to heavily dilute the essential oil for use on smaller animals, especially cats. See the Common and Botanical Name Index for the botanical name of each essential oil listed below. Bleeding: Geranium, helichrysum. Bones (Pain): Birch/wintergreen, lemongrass, spruce. Calm: Lavender, Roman chamomile (for horses, add to feed). Dilute well for cats. Cancer (Skin): Frankincense, cumin. Cats: According to Valerie Worwood, you can treat a cat like you would a child. Dilute oils heavily with vegetable oil. Avoid melaleuca, as it has been known to cause death in cats. Colds and Coughs: Eucalyptus, melaleuca (not for cats). Apply on fur or stomach. Dogs: Anxiety/Nervousness: Lavender, valerian. Rub 1–2 drops between hands, and apply to muzzle, between toes, on top of feet to smell when nose is down, and on edge of ears. Arthritis: A blend of rosemary, lavender, and ginger diluted with massage oil. Bone Injury: Birch/wintergreen on injury. Heart Problems: Myrtle/ravensara on back using Raindrop Technique with warm wet pack. Peppermint on paws. Pain and Stress: Do Raindrop Technique (the video Essential Tips for Happy, Healthy Pets demonstrates this technique on a dog and a horse). This technique helps relieve stress on the back, shoulders, and legs as well as raise immune function and protect against illness. Sleep: lavender (on paws). Stroke: Frankincense (on brainstem/back of neck). Travel Sickness: Peppermint. Dilute with massage oil, and rub on stomach. Also helps calm stomachaches. Earache: Blend 1 drop melaleuca (tea tree), 1 drop lavender, and 1 drop Roman chamomile with massage oil. Put in ear, and rub around the ear. (Do not use this blend on cats.) Fleas: Citronella, eucalyptus, lemongrass, pine. Add 1–2 drops of oil to shampoo.
