Fall Stresses and Essential Oil Relief

Fall is coming, and if your like me the change in the weather, the kids going back to school, combined with a little extra stress seems to be the perfect storm for getting run down.  At times like these my essential oils come in so handy!

I love to use my protective blend in our diffusers all through the house to help kill any germs and slow the spread of infection. I also love the way it smells in my house.


This blend should always be diluted if your using it topically. It can be irritating to the skin if used un-diluted or repeatedly. I prefer to diffuse this blend or dilute it heavily and apply to the back of the neck/spine and the bottoms of the feet. You should use caution with this blend around young children and those that are pregnant. There are oils in this blend that have warnings associated with their use around children and pregnancy.



The other oil blend I love to use is my respiratory blend, especially in a hot shower. I just drip a few drops in the bottom of the shower and it helps open up my airways. It's great when your all stopped up. 

This blend should be used carefully around very young children due to the Eucalyptus and Peppermint. These oils have warnings associated with their use and children.

I love to diffuse Lavender and Bergamot for stress relief. While fall is one of my favorite times of year it also has it's stressors. Kids going back to school, lots of traveling and getting together with friends and family, holiday planning.... 

You can diffuse Lavender and Bergamot to help reduce feelings of stress, and they just smell amazing too! Use 2-5 drops of each oil in your diffuser. I blend to my own liking, it's not always the same.

Please share with me your favorite oils and blends to use in the fall!

Muscle & Joint Support for Pets

Age and degenerative joint disease can be hard on our pets. I share a blend in this post that will help you support your pet as they age or develop pain associated with their muscles and joints.  This blend can be used with dogs or cats, but the peppermint should be omitted if using with cats. This blend can be mixed in a 60ml spray bottle and used 2-4 times daily. You can also diffuse this blend in a room that your pet can leave if they so choose.  I like to spray this blend on the affected area and gently massage. The oils and the massage will help provide some relief to your pet.

Along with this blend I recommend a good quality dog food that supports the joints. I also recommend glucosamine supplements. These products are not regulated by the FDA so I would suggest speaking with your veterinarian about their favorite glucosamine supplement.

My final recommendation is to find a veterinarian in your area that offers therapeutic or cold laser therapy. We offer this service in our clinic and it is so beneficial to the pets. There are no harmful side effects, it is non-invasive and it works so well, for so many conditions.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

As with all of my pet information I suggest you speak with your veterinarian as well, especially if your pet has a condition that is not improving. I do not advocate essential oils in place of regular veterinary care, I advocate them in addition to regular veterinary care.

Stomach Soothing Blend for Pets

Another very common request from pet owners is for a blend to help with their pets tummy troubles. Vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and constipation are all very common reasons for owners to bring their pets in for veterinary care. Sometimes these symptoms are related to a minor tummy upset, such as stress or a minor stomach bug and for those occasions it would be ok to try this blend at home and see if it provides your pet some relief.  Other times these symptoms are due to a serious medical issue and so I recommend only trying this blend for 24 hours and if you see no change or relief have your pet seen by his/her regular veterinarian immediately. 



***This blend would be safe for cats if you omit the Peppermint Essential Oil.***


Always remember that it is important to dilute your essential oils with an appropriate carrier oil or emulsifier when using them with pets and children. Pets are much smaller than us, usually, and therefore will not require as much essential oil. They are also much more sensitive to smells than we are. I recommend diffusing this blend in your diffuser in a room that your pet can leave if s/he wants to get away from the oils. You can also use the above recipe as described, diluted in a spray bottle and use it topically. I recommend using the spray on the bedding, along the spine, ear pinna, and paws. I DO NOT recommend placing the oils directly in your pet's face or on the nose. Avoid the eyes and inside the ears. Always consult your veterinarian if you notice any adverse reactions; vomiting, salivating, seizures, etc.
