I use young living oils on everything.
I feel they have made a HUGE difference in my daughters medical issues and constant bladder infections. I can't even rember the last time I had to fill a precispiction. Thats a nice feeling.

I used Lavander on constrected tendons on a new born foal this year. I have before and after if anybody is intrested I can show you :-)

It would take me days and days to type out all of my testimonials.

Me too Della!!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Ive been MIA for a little while, life has been pretty busy lately with riding, showing and redoing a lot of things in our house...

BUT, I just had to come on and post about my new discovery..ESSENTIAL OILS!!
I am not here trying to sell these oils, or advertise...simply sharing my new, amazing and healthy discovery. If anyone wants more information or the name of the company..you can pm. Everything I am sharing in this post are my personal experiences.

Ive been hearing about Essential Oils from my SIL for the last year. I thought she was nuts and it was a scam and all "in her head"

But after really listening to her talk about them and seeing them actually help and work for her family(pets included) I decided to give it a shot. Ive been using oils for the last few months and I LOVE THEM! I can say that neither myself, my fiance or any of our animals have had to take any type of medication or anything. For me, thats pretty amazing! I have scoliosis so I am constantly battling back and hip soreness..especially during show season, now I have a natural, safe product to use.

Usually by now, my fiance is miserable bc of allergies..now he takes a spoonful of oils and honey every morning and he no longer battles allergies. I diffuse a sleepy mixture that helps my very restless sleeping hubby to be and now he sleeps like a baby.

After we have had so much success with these oils..I decided to branch a little farther and start using them on the animals. I have been soaking their collars in a mixture and letting them dry and then they become a natural flea and tick repelling collar, and I spray a mixture in their coat and rub it in...NO FLEAS OR TICKS SO FAR! Our lab, Boone has separation anxiety...he doesnt like to be left alone and often gets distructive and or very anxious..I have him sniff the bottle for a second and I rub some on the tips of his ears..he does much much better.

I went a little further a few weeks ago and decided to let my farrier hating gelding sniff the bottle before starting and he did a lot better. Usually, he gets very tough to do and kicks...he pulled away a few times and got a little angsty but nothing like normal.

I cant wait to continue to experiment and find new uses for these lovely little alternatives. Next on my list is, fly spray!!

lexyy12 would you mind sharing what oils you are using on your pets for flea/tick prevention? I have a chihuahua that needs something natural instead of all the chemicals out there today. Thanks!

jschipper - 2015-06-02 12:26 PM I discovered oils late November last year. I now use them in my classroom, barn and house. When my class is sleepy in the mornings, I diffuse peppermint and orange and within minutes they are ready to work. In the afternoons I diffuse Peace & Calming and Valor and it keeps them calm and focused. My husband got a nasty flu about a month ago and by all means I should have got it... I always do when he gets it. I was diligent with Thieves and didn't have even feel fatigued! That made a believer out of even him. I also used to be a heavy melatonin user. I have not used melatonin once since trying Cedarwood. I sleep great. I too was skeptical... but not anymore. There's an oil for that ;)

How do you use the Cedarwood and Thieves? Diffuse? If topical...where? 
Thanks!

I found a great diffuser on Ebay that I really like. It's about $36.00 and if you fill it, it seems to run forever. I put it in our dog/laundry room and diffuse Purification and Lemon. Smells great!

 2 cups of water
5 drops each of peppermint, lavender, cedarwood, lemongrass
& 10 drops of purification. Soak their collars in it and let dry.

I do use them to, although I confess not as much as I'd like to as I'm just to lazy to research what to use for what.  With that being said however I had the nastiest plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for 8 years.  I spent in the neighborhood of $800 on prescriptions, laser, liquid nitrogen as well as every home ready you could possibly find on the internet.  It was about 1 inch at least around.  My girlfriend was in to oils so I thought what the heck  and asked her,  She recommended the Thieves.  It took about 3 months of applying it every night after my bath but its gone and hasn't come back.  That was about 4 years ago.  Thieves also got rid of the small wart on my finger in about 10 days.

My husband swears by Thieves for colds.  If he gets a tickle in his throat he adds a couple drops to some water and drinks it down.  I hate the taste so I can't do that.

I do use lavendar most nights to go to sleep.   I actually have a lot of oils here I just need to start using them more.
