Application of Essential Oil Blends The application of Aromatherapy Massage Blends allows the essential oils to be absorbed by the body to reduce the symptoms of dis-ease and to promote healing by stimulating and supporting the body's own healing ability. The blend also works aromatically; the aroma is absorbed by the nasal passages and passes through to the limbic center of the brain, which is responsible for stimulating the body's healing mechanisms. Aromatherapy blends can be applied to most domesticated animals. Dogs and horses respond exceptionally well to essential oils. Cats, unfortunately, do not appreciate having oil applied to their coat. Several essential oils are combined in a carrier massage oil to create an aromatic and synergistic blend beneficial for relieving symptoms as described below. Part the hair around the area and use a dropper to apply a few drops of the blend directly to the skin. The same procedure can be followed for heavy-coated breeds of dogs also. Apply oil blend sparingly to affected area 3 or 4 times a day. In cases of pain or inflammation use very light pressure, let the essential oils do the healing work for you. Physical Massage Blends ~ Apply blend to affected area 4 times a day. Target Blends ~ Apply these more potent blends to the affected area only. Emotional Blends ~ Apply blend as needed on area where base of skull and neck meet to speed healing to the central nervous system. ![]()

"I have heard some wonderful feedback from handlers who really depend on the Show Vitality Blend to help to relieve the signs of stress and tension that all show dogs experience at one time or another. This aromatic calming blend contains essential oils such as rose, lavender and geranium. It can be applied by the drop to an inconspicuous area such as behind the ears, under the chin, at the base of the skull and top of the head depending on the dog's coat. The dog will benefit from the therapeutic aroma while showing. Of course, there are no side-effects from this blend and can be used as often as you wish." Cynthia |
