I ONLY RECOMMEND USING YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS (you'll read why below
but the biggest reason is, they're therapeutic grade and can be taken
internally - this can't be done with other brands, especially synthetic oils
- and they have the highest percentage of pure constituents). YOUNG LIVING
OILS WORK. See the end of this page for Virginia Litza's contact information. She
can help you determine which Young Living essential oils are appropriate for
what you or your animal friend are dealing with, and help you with
purchasing them as well. Please tell her you heard about her through my
website.
Virginia Litza of Spirits Whisper Acres in
Illinois rehabilitates horses/dogs/cats that
are “between” homes with the earth’s natural remedies and life styles.
Selected herbs, Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils and subtle energy therapies
are part of their journey back to health, be it physical, emotional or
spiritual. One of the gifts from Mother Earth that Virginia uses is Young
Living Therapeutic Grade Essential oils. She is a distributor for Young
Living oils and has many, many stories of how these have enhanced and even
saved the lives of many animals that have come to her farm, Spirit’s Whisper
Acres. The following is in her words:
“I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils 5 years ago. I purchased
only one bottle of Lavender oil. Prior to this, I used essential oils from
several other suppliers for 10 years, but didn’t see the results I was
getting from just that one bottle of Young Living Lavender. Severe wounds
healed in one quarter the time. Emotional releases for the animals came
swifter and so much easier for them. When owners used the oils on their
pets, the owners received the same benefits.
What are Young Living Essential Oils? Young Living essential oils are distilled from plants as
subtle volatile liquid, the life-force, the regenerating and oxygenating
immune defense properties of plants containing vitamins, minerals, enzymes
and hormones. They are distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes
and seeds. Essential oils are fifty times more potent than herbs. They have
a very unique lipid structure including oxygenating molecules that gives
them the ability to penetrate cell membranes and transport oxygen and
nutrients inside each cell of the body within only 21 minutes of their
application and, in some cases, within seconds.
Essential oils help promote emotional, mental, spiritual and physical healing.
Shelf life of pure essential oils is a minimum of 2000 years as shown by the
oils retrieved in King Tut's Tomb. Essential oil frequencies range anywhere
from 50 MHZ to 340 MHZ (Rose Oil). They have a bio-electrical frequency
that is several times greater than the frequency of herbs, food and even the
human body. Clinical research has shown that essential oils can quickly
raise the frequency of the body, restoring it to normal healthy levels. I use these oils to enhance the body to balance itself whether it be
emotional, physical or spiritual – therefore creating an environment where
the body can heal itself. Every molecule of essential oils have the ability
to: increase oxygenation of the cell by 21%; take nutrients into the cells;
remove toxins from the cells; cross the blood/brain barrier; increase the
immune system within the body. These five items give the cells the ability
to balance themselves, therefore regenerate healthy cells. One drop of
Therapeutic essential oil will penetrate every cell within the body within
21 minutes. As an example of the concentration of these oils, one drop of
Lemon oil is equal to the rinds of 50 organic lemons.
Unlike synthetic chemicals, essential oil chemicals are diverse in their
effects. No two oils are alike. Per research documentation, some
constituents, such as aldehydes found in lavender and chamomile are
antimicrobial and calming. Eugenol, found in cinnamon and clove, is
antiseptic and stimulating. Ketones, found in lavender, hyssop and
patchouli, stimulate cell regeneration and liquefy mucous. Phenols, found in
oregano and thyme oil, are highly antimicrobial. Sesequiterpenes,
predominate in vetiver, cedarwood and sandalwood are soothing to inflamed
tissue and can also produce profound effects on emotions and hormonal
balance.
Essential oils are one of the highest known sources of antioxidants that can
prevent free radical damage. They also contain a bioelectric frequency that
is several times greater than that of herbs and food. Thus, these oils have
a profound effect of raising the frequencies of the human and animal body --
aiding in the prevention of diseases.
With all that I just mentioned, such as high frequency, high oxygenating
molecules, fast delivery systems to the cells, immune-building,
anti-microbial properties, etc., essential oils become a necessary adjunct to
protecting our animals and ourselves against free radical damage as well as the potential
dangers of our electro magnetically polluted environment.
How are the oils applied or given? For the most part on animals I
suggest on the pads of the paws of dogs and cats as well as their backs.
Then massage the oils in. You can follow with a warm moist towel. You can
place these essential oils anywhere on the body, except the EYES and EARS.
Never put essential oils in the eyes and never drop the oils down the ears.
Baths are also wonderful with essential oils. Just put the oils in Epsom
salts before putting into the water. Very soothing for both animals and
their owners. Diffusing, with a cold air diffuser only, is an excellent way
to get essential oils to more than one animal at a time. Also very good for
upper respiratory items. I have several dogs, cats and birds in the house at
one time. When I diffuse, all the animals as well as myself receive the
benefits of a particular oil. I also give my animals Young Living Essential
Oils internally when needed. Either via veggie-capsules or in a syringe with
water.
[NOTE REGARDING USE
ON CATS: Kat says PLEASE do not just start
applying oils to your cat, especially if they are not therapeutic grade such
as the Young
Living oils are. Consult
with Virginia (see contact info at the end of this page) for the right EO's
for your cat.]
The following was prepared by Virginia:
"CATS
have a higher vibration or
frequency (most likely why they were worshiped in Egypt) than you or I and
do not do well with lower vibrations or oils high in phenols. They need just a fraction
of an amount of essential oils that a dog would. I never have a cat ingest
essential oils. Only placed on the body with a carrier oil or I cold-diffuse
the oils into the air. Here in America, most essential
oils (EO’s) are not therapeutic grade. Young Living EO's are therapeutic
grade, which makes them extremely concentrated. LESS IS BETTER when using
therapeutic grade EO's.
When a book recommends 1 to 3 drops on a human (about 150 lbs) then it only
goes to say that you would use extremely less for a cat (10-15 lbs). Unless
someone (such as a communicator or a Young Living EO distributor) can
intuitively "ask" the cat how much can be used, I suggest individuals use a
toothpick for the amount. Just dip a clean toothpick into the bottle of oil
and place on the cat’s paw or skin (never in their mouths). Or place a drop
of oil on the palm of your non-dominant hand - with your other hand swirl it
clock-wise and then use your finger and place on the cat. If you need to
dilute the oil down a bit, place a drop in 10 drops of a carrier oil like
Organic Olive or the Young Living V6 carrier oil. Therapeutic grade
essential oils cannot build up. It is absorbed. But carrier oils will build
up. You can also use a carrier oil to dilute the oil on the skin if
irritation develops (a very, very rare occurrence).
Just like a human, never drop oils in a cat's eyes or ears!!! Place a drop of
oil on the palm of one hand and place oil with a finger from the other hand
on the inside of the upper ear. Never down the ear.
I myself have used the Young Living EO's on cats for just about everything.
I cold-air diffuse the oils every day with at least 5 to 8 cats and several
dogs in the room with me. Of course there is good ventilation and they can
always leave the room at will (but never do). I’ve diffused up to three
times a day for kittens fighting an upper respiratory infection which the
vets informed me that the kittens would have to live with the rest of their
lives. Well, all are in great health today and those vets are now using the
oils for the same condition.
I do caution individuals in using Young Living EO's with cats. If I feel
someone will not honor the LESS IS BETTER rule I will share another
modality. Some commonly known EO's not recommended to be used with cats are
Tea Tree or Malaleuca, Oregano, Thyme, Clove, Mountain Savory, Cinnamon,
Cassia, and Ravensara. However, I have used Young Living blends of oils with these included with
no problem. But I recommend you consult with your veterinarian before using any item with
your pets.
BIRDS: I have used the oils on birds
by applying on their
feet or moving their feathers and placing directly onto their skin.
Case examples:
I worked with one of my cats who had melanoma on her side. I dropped
directly onto the spot two drops each of Frankincense and Lavender. I did
this on and off for 2 weeks. In three weeks the melanoma was healed and to
this day, 5 years later, she is fine. In fact she just turned 20 years old.
Kittens (15 of them) that I was informed there was nothing that could be
done for their upper respiratory infections, turned around by diffusing oils
in the air and applying oils that were diluted in organic carrier oils.
Several blends of oils were used.
Young pigeons that had their head pecked in, down to the brain, with the
application of Frankincense and Lavender directly to the brain, then skull,
then skin area, it took 5 weeks to heal. It took an additional 2 months for
all the feathers to return. The pigeons are out in the arena and are now
parents themselves.
Animals as well as humans with severe colic (stomach ache) can have that
pain released with an application of certain oils onto the stomach area as
well as taken internally. I have been involved with horses with colic that
was life threatening. They were walking and interested in eating within just
20 to 30 minutes after application of the oils. The Young Living essential
oil blend of Di-Gize and the single oils of Peppermint and Patchouli are
used.
HORSES:
One horse came to me with 7 severe wounds on his legs. Some all the way to
the bone. For only 2 days he was a little swollen and lame. The wounds
healed within 2˝ weeks. The horse was back with his herd the day after he
was injured. Lavender and Lemongrass were just two of the main oils used
daily here.
I had an individual applying these oils on a horse that had extremely high
blood sugars. The horse was extremely ill. The application of the oils
brought the blood sugars down from 464 to 154 in two weeks. That was not the
only good news, the individual applying the oils to the horse happened to be
a diabetic also. He lowered his insulin usage to about half.
I have had dogs and horses that have broken bones and with the application
of a oil blend called PanAWay, and single oils of Cypress, Lemongrass and
Wintergreen they are walking with discomfort for about 2 to 3 weeks. I
myself can share that testimony. I have broken 3 ribs and my tail bone
twice. If it wasn’t for the oils, I would not have been able to take care of
the farm. I did not have to take even one day off.
Essential Oils when Diffused (cold air diffuse only) will remove metallic
particulates and toxins from the air, increase atmospheric oxygen, increase
ozone and negative ions in the area and destroys odors.
The following was prepared by Yvonne
VandeDrink, a Young Living oils distributor.
Addressing Separation Anxiety There are many reasons animals
experience separation anxiety. As with anything you use therapeutic
essential oils for, the purpose is to alleviate the cause, not just cover
the symptoms. Essential Oils can be used to help alleviate the fear of
abandonment, and to help relax the muscles and emotions. The following list
reflects only a few essential oils that have been shown to ease stress and
fear. These oils are best used consistently over a period of time to help
the animal release fear and anxiety.
LAVENDER is a universal oil that has traditionally been known to balance the
body and to work wherever there is a need. Lavender works well on both the
physical and emotional level. Animals who suffer from anxiety tend to "work
themselves up", sometimes to the point of causing physical issues. Lavender
works wonderfully for relieving tensions, especially in muscles and
emotions! Lavender is a must.
VETIVER is a calming oil with a heavy smokey fragrance that most animals
love. Because of its psychologically grounding, calming and stabilizing
properties, Vetiver has been valuable for relieving stress and helping
animals and humans recover from emotional traumas and shock. It is known as
a natural tranquilizer.
CEDARWOOD Animals in the wild, at night, lay under the tree for the
protection, recharging and rejuvenation the tree brings them. This essential
oil is also known to help calm the emotions while helping to bring clarity
of thought.
VALERIAN has served for thousands of years as a sedative. There is evidence
that it calms the brain, reduces anxiety, relieves stress and even relaxes
muscles. The results of one study conducted in 1993 showed valerian is
calming to the central nervous system and reduces depression and anxiety.
Valerian is best used before leaving your animal, this may help to calm them
and possibly allow them to accept the situation without fear.
GROUNDING is an oil blend that may help to stabilize and ground animals in
order to deal with reality in a logical, peaceful manner. When an animal is
overcome with anxiety, they can sometimes lose touch with reality. This
blend can help them to adjust to their situation with ease.
ROMAN CHAMOMILE was traditionally used by ancient Romans to give them a
clear mind and to empower them with courage for there battles. For centuries
mothers have used chamomile to calm crying children. Also, because it is
calming and relaxing, it can combat depression and stress. It also
eliminates some of the emotional charge of anxiety, irritability and
nervousness. It may also dispel anger and stabilize the emotions, and help
to release emotions linked to the past. This oil is a great tool to have on
hand when dealing with an over-excited or nervous animal.
PEACE & CALMING is a blend of oils that have been historically used to help
reduce depression, anxiety, stress and tension. May promote relaxation and
peace as well as it may be effective for dealing with various problems
relating to the nervous system and to emotional balance. This oil works
wonderfully via simple inhalation. Just diffusing this oil in the place your
pet is going to stay may help to reduce their anxiety.

Kat says: I am most impressed with what Young Living essential oils
can do, I've seen them work on my animals and myself for a variety of issues
and situations. I don’t get much noticeable response/improvement using other
brands.
