Gary Young's animal care suggestions, on how to use oils on animals.
Gary
Young wrote this several years ago:
I
have raised animals all my life and presently have several
miniature horses as well as four teams of draft horses.
I also have pygmy goats, barbadoes sheep and llamas at
my ranch where I reside. On my 1300 acre herb farm at
Whispering Springs in Mona, Utah, I have an animal petting
zoo with Bactrian camels. zeeboos from Africa(miniature
Bhramas), Watusi cows and bulls, Walleroos(miniature kangaroos),
llamas, buffalos, miniature donkeys, as well as horses
and goats. As you can see we have a wide varity of animals.
We
have used the oils extensively on many of the animals
and are continually making discoveries. The animals respond
extremely well and we feel they have benefited greatly.
In my experience, I have found that animals respond to
essential oils much the same as humans. Animals are not
as sensitive to the phenol and sesquiterpene constituents
so they can be applied "neet" or full strength.
One needs only to determine which oils are applicable
to the situation and then apply a few drops 3-4 times
daily.
The
amount for small animals, like cats and dogs is like the
application for a child:
3-4 drops each time applied.
For larger animals, like large dogs: apply 6-7 drops
For horses, apply 15-20 drops.
After
applying the oils, I have found it beneficial to cover
the open wound
with Rose ointment, which keeps the skin soft and helps
promote the healing.
I have applied the oils in the following ways:
1.
Apply on their paws where absorption is very fast.
2. On cloven hoofed animals, apply on the auricular points
of the ears and/or spine or both.
3. Underneath the top lip on the gums and on the tongue.
4. Sprinkle a few drops on the spine and then massage
into the skin, just
like with humans. For various problems I have experimented
with the
following oils:
1. Strangle in horses, I used a combination of the oil
blends Exodus II and
Melrose together.(4 parts Exodus II to 1 part Melrose.)
2. Ear mites in cats and dogs- purification and peppermint.
3. Ticks and fleas- Tansy and tansy floral water.
4. Tumors- all animals- Frankincense and lavender mixed
together,
frankincense and clove mixed together.
5. Worms and parasites- all animals- Paraway and Di-tone.
6. Open wounds- all animals-Melrose, Helichrysum and gentle
care Rose
Ointment.
7. Trauma- all animals- Trauma Life, Valor, Peace &
calming, Melissa,
rosewood, lavender, valerian, and chamomile.
8. Bones- all animals- PanAway, birch(now wintergreen),
lemongrass and
spruce.
9. Nervous anxiety with horses,- Valor, Trauma Life, geranium,
lavender and valerian.
10. Saddle sores- Melrose and Rose ointment.
11. Mineral deficiencies- Mineral Essence( liquid tincture,
taken internally)
may help meet the animals needs and when met, they will
quit chewing on the furniture and other undesirable things.
12. Tissue repair and healing directly on wound- Melrose.
13. May help with pain and stop bleeding- Helichrysum.
14. Healing of wounds and abrasions- Rose Ointment.
