"Pets can enjoy the therapeutic effects of aromatherapy as much as humans can. Aside from possibly eliminating badodors and giving your pet a pleasant perfume, essential oils also serve many practical functions such as boostingyour pet's immune system, fighting off bacteria and viruses, preventing the growth of yeasts and molds and repelling insects.Aromatherapy is used by enthusiasts, groomers and pet salons to treat mild ailments such as skin inflammations,itchy skin ear infections, rashes, bad breath, flatulence and motions sickness. Psychologically, certain oils alsohave a calming or relaxing effect on animals. For example lavender oil not only helps kitties repel insects but italso makes them feel sleepy or content. Roman chamomile can be used to treat an ear infection as well as soothe thenerves of a dog in pain.
Essential oils are also frequently used as home remedies. However before you attempt to use aromatherapy on your own pets, keep in mind that essential oils are always diluted before they are applied to a pet's skin or sprayed on theirgoose down coat. Almond oil, olive oil and jojoba oil are common base oils to which a few drops of the essential oil is added.Usually all that is needed is about one ounce of the base oil combined with two to three drops of the essential oil.Essential oils can also be diluted in a spray bottle and misted onto the pet or the pet's bedding. You can simplydilute a few drops in distilled water or you can use water and a mixture of aloe, witch hazel or cider vinegar. Thetraditional recommendation is to use 20 to 30 drops of oil per eight ounces of liquid. Any less might not beeffective and any more might be toxic to the pet.
