Did You Know: Essential Oils Pet Care Kit

Veterinarian Dr. Mary Hess of Madison, Wisconsin, recommends that every pet owner carry an essential oil care kit for pets. Based on her experience as a veterinarian, Dr. Hess suggests these Young Living essential oil blends to keep pets feeling their best.

  • Peace & Calming® essential oil blend: Ideal for stress, fear, anxiety, and similar conditions, Peace & Calming blend can help calm your pet. If the pet is injured, Peace & Calming blend can relax the animal enough to administer other treatments. It can also be used on cats that are resistant to other forms of treatment for urinary problems or that excessively groom themselves.
  • Purification® essential oil blend: Useful for external parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
  • Thieves® essential oil blend: Perfect for minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations, Thieves blend can also be used for dental concerns. It is safe for kittens and puppies.
  • Melrose™ essential oil blend: Used in conjunction with R.C. and Raven blends, Melrose blend provides respiratory support and can also be used on minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations if Thieves blend can't be tolerated.
  • R.C.™ essential oil blend: Ideal for respiratory and urinary tract support, R.C blend is practical for cats that require bladder fortification, when conventional therapies fail. (It can be paired with Raven blend for added support.)
  • Raven™ essential oil blend: Used for respiratory and urinary tract support, Raven blend is more powerful than R.C. blend and features essentials oils not found in the latter. Combined, the two oils are highly effective.
  • Di-Gize™ essential oil blend: Gastrointestinal systems respond well to this blend. Nutmeg and ginger can be added for additional support.
  • PanAway® essential oil blend: Valuable for relieving discomfort and relaxing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This oil blend can be used alone or in addition to other essential oils that aid in general discomfort. Using a moist towel over the area increases the effectiveness of the oils.
  • Relieve It™ essential oil blend: Especially beneficial for relieving discomfort, Relieve It blend can be alternated with PanAway blend.

Citrus oils will Detox your Body from Petrochemicals


Make sure you are using a citrus oil daily? Why? Well, citrus oils are not only great at boosting the mood but they are antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, etc, etc.

Also, citrus oils are great for removing petrochemicals in our bodies. 

What are petrochemicals?


Petrochemical toxins are man made compounds that are poisonous to the human body. Unfortunately, toxins are found everywhere from the food we eat to the air we breathe. Our bodies are fairly efficient at disposing of toxins within the body to keep us healthy. When toxins are released unexpectedly into the atmosphere in large amounts, such as with an oil spill, the human body is less apt to adequately handle those toxins and likely to fall ill.


As a general rule, humans are exposed to petrochemical toxins on a daily basis. They permeate the air and are used in the manufacture of insecticides. These insecticides are ingested when humans eat non-organic fruits and vegetables. While most consumers simply rinse fruits and vegetables before eating or cooking, unless contaminated food products are washed with soap and water, the petrochemical toxins remain and are ingested.

After an oil spill, however, contamination is more concentrated and widespread. Oil remediation workers are at a particularly high risk of sickness due to their continued and direct exposure to petrochemicals. In addition, the toxins quickly disperse into the air and are inhaled by individuals living in coastal cities and, if the wind is right, those living several miles inland as well.

The Impact of Crude Oil Toxins on Human Health
Crude oil toxins have a clear and adverse effect on human health. After exposure to these poisonous substances following an oil spill, individuals have reported such adverse health effects as:
Headaches
Difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Nausea
Scientists have known for years that the toxins found in petrochemicals suppress the efficiency of the human thyroid. This explains the fatigue many individuals feel following exposure to airborne crude oil. Suppressed thyroid function can also lead to weight gain.

Young Living essential oils recommended to remove petrochemicals from your body: Grapefruit, Lemon, Tangerine, and Lime.
