Alternative Medicine for Pets

What Hurts?
Because a dog or cat can’t communicate what hurts or what makes them feel better the way a human can, it can be difficult to diagnose an illness or apply treatment to the right place. For this reason, anyone eager to treat their pet with a natural remedy should always have the animal seen by a veterinarian first, so that you ensure that you're using a natural treatment for the right problem.

Sensitive to Smells � & to Energy

A vet can also run tests to establish what may be counterindicated on a specific animal. For example, an older pet with a low thyroid won't do well with wintergreen or willow for pain relief; other herbs & oils ought to be used in lieu that won�t suppress the thyroid.

Animals like canines, felines, guinea pigs, rats, mice, birds, & horses all have an acute sense of smell. This means they may react strongly to treatments like essential oils that have a potent aroma. Don�t let this discourage you from using your preferred healing techniques on your pets � but do be aware that you ought to make use of less of an essential oil or herb on a cat or dog than you would on a human.

Treat them as you would a small, sensitive child. Do not apply essential oils or scented lotions or salves on an animal�s face unless absolutely necessary. As with a small child, the bottoms of the feet are the safest place to apply essential oils (pets have reflexology points, !).

This sensitivity often extends to hands-on healing & energy work. Animals can be highly attuned to energies. Be gentle with them, & report what you�re doing & that your intent is only to help. In the event that they react negatively to reiki or energy work, pay attention & back off. Most animals will reply very positively to energy work if they pay attention to their reactions.
The tales about felines dying from exposure to essential oils are a myth

Anecdotal facts & personal experience have shown that in case you use oils from pure, organic sources that have been distilled at only low temperatures, without solvents, they are safe to make use of on felines in small measure. use extreme caution in case you are uncertain of the source of an essential oil or how they have been pressed. Adulterated oils are not safe.
Tips & Suggestions

Even a beginner can use homeopathic �Rescue Remedy� cream to treat skin issue on their pets, or use essential oils like Thieves to neat up pet odors in the house.

Everyday pet issues tend to reply well to simple natural treatments.

Some of the best natural medicines are preventative:

    Use natural pet shampoo in lieu of exposing your pet to poisonous chemicals;
    Give them a garlic supplement in lieu of poisonous flea treatment (which have been known to kill felines);
    Feeds them all-natural pet food in lieu of the usual store-bought junk

Treating pets with non-invasive natural treatments can be a great way to respect their health & everyday wellness as they do our own.
