Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I am making a blend for my poor itchy dog! I found a recipe that is lavender, helichrysum, Roman chamomile and Cedarwood. Of course, I don't have helichrysum. Is there an essential oil with a similar profile that I can substitute, or should I just break down and order this oil!? Thanks, Debbie deb Cure your winter blues with some springy soaps! http://www.debrasrhapsody.com/rhapsody/soaps.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Hi Deb: I don't know the answer to this one. I don't think there " is " a substitute for the helichrysum Italicum . It's the bomb in goodies. Would you mind if I ask you to share your recipe for your dog ? I have a Bichon puppy that we " hope " is allergic to some dog foods and itches constantly. No fleas, nothing. The vet told me to use Advantage only on him just in case there is something we can't see going on but we had to put him on prednisone for one week because his skin was bothering him so much. He has actually chewed so much that he has lost hair in different places on his little body.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Is this for healing? If so why not use a little goldenseal? <re. helichrysm> Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Jenn, I don't have a specific recipe, just the oils I had mentioned before and I was going to wing it with the amounts.

Please refrain from using goldenseal unless it is cultivated.... also it is way over used- it has very specific indications- not for colds/flus- i think www.blessedherbs.com has cult. goldenseal....... michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
