How Lime Essential Oil Can Help Your Dog's Wellbeing

Using Essential Oils With Animals?

Essential oils are commonly used by people for a range of human wellbeing benefits. Not only do essential oils usually smell amazingly great, but they can help with many health and wellbeing situations.

Our animals too can benefit from some essential oils. Have you ever noticed your pet or horse or other animal, smell certain plants or flowers when out in the field or garden? They will self-select what plant or flower they need to help them feel good.

Zoopharmacognosy or animal aromatherapy are the terms sometimes used to describe the use of essential oils with your animal. Read more in my Taranet advice page here.
