Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 From the Holisticat group. Regards, Dorothy. It is my understanding, from a Certified Aromatherapist on one of my other lists, that Cats are extremely sensitive to Essential Oils and since they metabolize them differently than dogs or humans, the potential for toxicity is very high; therefore Essential Oils should not be used around or on cats at all. Something to think about? http://www.holisticat.com/essoils_arch.html http://www.holisticat.com/c_and_c.html#herbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 >>>>>Would you ask your aromatherapist friend about possible dangers to pet rats? Hi Alobar, that article was taken from a group i am in, i don't know the author of the article. Have just been surfing, thought this might interest you, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/9579/health.html then at this site http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/3819/homeo.html i found this. Natural Antibiotics Tea Tree Oil: (Melaleuca Alternifolia) has antimicrobial properties, can be used diluted or neat as a mild antiseptic for wound cleaning. May also help to discourage mites and fleas, if bathing your rat, try adding one or two drops to the water. Can be bought from the Body Shop or most health food stores. Echinacea: (purpurea, angustifolia and pallidais) is effective against a range of viruses, bacteria fungi and protazoa. It is a natural broad spectum antibiotic and immune system booster. Up to 10 drops can be added to your rat's water bottle, to combat the symptoms of myco and other respiratory infections. Try two or three weeks on then one week off, as continued use may cause lethargy. If they won't drink the treated water, add a drop of honey or sugar, they will love it, guaranteed! Echinacea tincture is available from most health food stores, priced about 7ukp for the Bioforce brand. Goldenseal: (Hydrastis canadenis) also has strong antibiotic properties. Especially effective if used with Echinacea. . Helps combat congestion and soothe inflammation of the mucous membranes. Tincture available from most health food stores, also comes in tablet form. Garlic: (Allium sativum) is antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial. Opens up lungs and bronchial tubes and may possibly inhibit tumor cell formation (studies are currently being carried out by the NCI). Try giving it in capsule form, or pouring garlic oil over food, some rats may eat raw garlic, but mine won't. Licorice: is antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory, but is suspected to cause neurological poisoning in rats. Propolis: is used to protect beehives from microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungus. It sterilizes and disinfects virtually every aspect of the beehive from larvae to filling gaps in cells. The beehive is said to be the most hygenic construction in the natural world. In the Greek language, Propolis is broken down as Pro: In favor of, in defense against. Polis: city. Propolis can be used to speed the healing of wounds, (dab a drop on using the tip of your finger or a cotton bud). Helps to soothe skin irritations, just dab some on the offending area, even if they lick it off it won't harm them, in fact it will probably help (can be mixed with warm water and drunk - or gargled, by humans) Respiratory infections Try Pulsatilla 30c for mucusy cough (better in open air, worse from warmth or towards evening) Antimonium Tartaricum 30c for rattling, wheezing cough (better in fresh air, worse in cold weather,evening warmth, milk and sour foods) Aconite 6c (early stages or respiratory disease) (better in evening/night, warm room, worse in open air) Phosphorous 200c for chesty, hard racking cough (better in open air) Spongia Tosta for harsh & dry sounding or difficult breathing, (better from keeping head low, worse after sleep or in evening) Allium cepa for discharge from eyes and nose (better in fresh air, worse in warm room, evening) Shock Arnica 200c Aconite 30c Or Bach's Rescue Remedy Pain relief Arnica - helps reduce pain and inflammation and helps control bleeding. Hypericum - helps relieve pain from areas rich in nerves such as fingers, toes, claws, tongue. Bleeding from wounds Ferrum Phosphoricum 6c (can be crushed and sprinkled in the wound) Bumble foot Calendula, echinacea and hypericum preferably in cream form, apply twice a day. Burns Urtica Urens tincture (one part to four parts water) soak gauze in solution, cover burn and keep wet. Cantharis 30c every 2 hours releives rawness and smarting Kali Bichromicum 6c every 2 hours if burns are deep. Bladder infection Cantharsis helps painful urination Phosphorous relieves constipation Arsenicum Album helps diarrhea after eating too much fruit Chamomilla helps releive watery, slimey stools Eye Injury Ruta Graveolens, for injury or pressure deep in eyeball Hypericum, good for areas rich in nerves Hope this helps.

I have used all kinds of oils and blends and aura mists for clearing crystals and rooms . There are even some versions of smudge in a spray bottle that can be purchase commercially I've even seen them in drugstores Peggy -- http://solarraven.com/ Huna, Crystal healing, Reiki manuals, mandalas, Energy Work Classes http://home.attbi.com/~skygreen/index.html / Spirited emotion} http://members.tripod.com/~sunsparrow/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
