Using Aromatherapy to Help Animals

On Sunday my husband and I with our two children walked the course at Poplar Park Horse Trials through the beautiful Suffolk countryside near Hollesley. The horses were spectacular and the riders fearless. I did see some horses extremely nervous, when they where being put into their horse boxes. My tip is to try a little chamomile in oil massaged on to their muzzle. As with humans, it has a profoundly calming effect and can, in many cases, solve the problem.

Many years ago I used to exhibit at the Lowther driving trials and I was interested to see one of the owners using my heavy duty relief gel on himself to relieve aching muscles and also on his horse. In America complementary medicine is as big for animals as it is for humans. Certainly I get many questions particularly relating to horses, dogs and cats.

I would love to hear from you and if you would like to discuss any of the issues raised or suggest any new topics then please email me at info@potions.co.uk.
