Strength

Print

Strength is wonderful for diffusion and can be used with water-based diffusion with all animal species.  In general, 4-6 drops are added to a 8 oz (1 cup) batch of diffusion water.  More or less may be desired based on individual preferences.  Water misting of this blend into the air can also be used as desired.  Although not typically used in direct topical applications with animals, humans may wish to wear this blend as a fragrance that is safe for use around animals as well.

The essential oils within Strength not only smell great, but also have benefits of cleansing the air, opening airways, freshening rooms, lifting spirits, and providing confidence, centering, and emotional strength that can reduce stress, anxiety, and help to clear emotional traumas.  By reading about each of the individual oils within Strength (Lovely, RoseRamie, and Charming) - you can also learn of the other benefits that will also be contained within the Strength blend.

Birds & Exotics:  Strength is appropriate for water-based diffusion around all species of animals.  At this time, we do not recommend tenting or diffusion in close confinement with this blend.  Strength is also appropriate to be worn by the animal's human as a wonderful and natural cologne - even during close contact.

Cats:  With cats, Strength can be diffused as described above, in a water-based diffuser or misted into the air.  Topical applications are rarely indicated with cats - and we recommend that the human working with the cat wear Strength or "pet" the oils onto their clothing to impart the effects to their feline friends.

Dogs:  Again with dogs, diffusion is a wonderful selection for using Strength.  It can also be misted into the air when mixed with water in a glass spray bottle - when a diffuser is not available.  The human working with a dog is also a wonderful "diffuser" for Strength.  Often times before working with a troubled dog or animal, we will apply a few drops of Strength to our heart areas (after rubbing them around in our hands), and then I also rub the remainder on our clothing.  Many times, the dog may want to lick our hands after the oil has absorbed for a few minutes.  If they want to do this - it is just fine - and some dogs just can't seem to get enough.  While there are many physical benefits to the oils within Strength - we mainly use it for emotional support.  For dogs who are more accustomed to essential oil use - the blends can be applied via the Petting Method when diffusion, misting, or human diffusion has provided help, but just has not been "quite enough" for the animal.  Most often, we will place 1-2 drops into our hands, rub them together until the blend is completely absorbed to almost completely absorbed, and then we pet the chest and heart area most commonly.

Horses & Other Large Animals:  Strength can basically be used as described for dogs.  However, with larger animals - we do tend to use the Petting Method a bit more often.  Diffusion can be difficult to achieve, although human diffusion or a Water Mist into the air can be very helpful in exposing larger animals to the emotional benefits that essential oils can provide.
