My interest in using essential oils on animals has been expanded over the last couple of months as I have done more research in essential oils for dogs and been using more oils on my own dogs. Very recently, I provided someone with some oils to try for reducing a fatty tumor on their dog and they have reported that the tumor has decreased. Just last week, I was talking to a business associate over the phone and she told me about her 5 year old lab who has very frequent seizures. It saddened me to listen to her story about her dog Emma and hear her say that she may have to put Emma to sleep because of the seizures and the quality of Emma's life. They had tried several different drugs prescribed by the vet, but nothing was working. I asked her if she had ever tried something natural like essential oils and she said no.
So I seized the moment to tell her what I knew about using essential oils on dogs and that I would do some research into what oils are recommended for seizures in dogs. Within an hour, I had some great information on what oils to use, how to apply them and how often. The most recommended oils were lavender, lemongrass, valor and frankincense. I called her and told her about the oils recommended and that I had three out of the four oils in my inventory and would gladly give her some samples to try. So I prepared some sample bottles and met her the next day with the samples and instructions for applying. I talked to her Friday afternoon and she said she started using the oils that morning and would let me know on Monday or Tuesday as to whether the oils were working or not. She called me on Tuesday, elated to report that Emma had been seizure free since she started applying the oils on her. She told me she was hopefully optimistic that these oils might be the answer to her prayers and that her Emma would be with her longer then expected.I can't tell you how happy it made me to hear this success story. I believe in the oils and I've seen how they work for others and myself and it's absolutely amazing. So seize the moment to share your knowledge of essential oils because you never know when you can make a difference in someone's life!
