Found out something absolutely beautiful! So my husband and I have been researching how to live healthier, right? Essential Oils is pretty much a huge answer.
Live in an area where you have ticks? Rose Geranium is fricken amazing. We have so many ticks in our yard and until we can find an all over solution that will also not bother the dogs, we start small. Only, starting small is sort of the opposite since the magnitude of this discovery was awesome. We read about this amazing "cure for ticks," on a review one board and couldn't believe it but we tried it anyway. Put one drop on your wrists and one behind each of the ears. For some reason, (which I am going to research) ticks hate the stuff! If you want to protect a dog, one at the base of the tail and one drop in between the shoulder blades is all you need. Make sure you do it once a day before you go outdoors, as it doesn't soak into the skin like Frontline for dogs would. One thing I will warn you about with the Rose Geranium, do not do it in a small, enclosed space, like a car. The smell can get too strong and for those that are seizure prone, it could be a trigger. We read about a man who used it on both his dogs and him and his wife in a car and the dog had a seizure until he rolled down the window to let air in.
The other thing I discovered? Lavender oil! Now, I know it sounds sort of dumb, but it actually works for headaches! I have been having the worst headaches this week which I don't understand, because I never get headaches. Anyway, I researched this too. I found multiple people who said Lavender really does work. I ordered and tried it, and they were right. I just rubbed some of it into my forehead and whether it was from the smell or something else, the headache melted away.
We are going to keep trying new essential oils to see what they help with, so stay tuned!!!
