Recently we posted on our Facebook page that every dog home should have a bottle of therapeutic grade Lavender essential oil on hand. Why do we love it so much? There are tons of uses for this very versatile oil, not to mention, how good it smells! We received a few questions about uses, so we thought we'd post some of our favorite recipes here & how to use them! Once you try them, we're sure you'll love lavender too! Enjoy!
Clean your act up!
Disinfect & clean will this smell-good combo! Great for spritzing on counters, dog beds, collars (remove from your pup first) and anything else that smells 'doggy'.
6 drops Lemon EO
4 drops Orange EO
4 drops Lavender EO
4 drops Bergamot EO
2oz. distilled water
Combine all ingredients in a small spray bottle (glass or steel preferred). Shake well before every use. Store away from heat & light & never spray on your pup's face.
Chill Pill
This is my Favorite! You can spritz it right on your pup. Even better...spritz on your hands & massage onto your dog. I also use it on myself, sheets & in the air when I'm stressed. Smells absolutely magical.
10 drops Lavender EO
6 drops Neroli EO
4 drops Sandalwood EO
2oz. organic jojoba oil
Combine all ingredients in a small spray bottle (glass preferred) & shake well. Make sure to store away from heat & light.
Bug Repellent
We stole this one from Herbs for Health. But we love it & it's easy to make. This is not only effective & safe for your pup, it's also great for you!
1/2 teaspoon citronella EO
1/2 teaspoon eucalyptus EO
1/2 teaspoon lavender EO
4oz. distilled witch hazel
Mix ingredients in small spray bottle. Shake well. Spray onto exposed skin, avoiding eyes and mucous membranes. Reapply every 2 hours, or as needed. (Note: We love adding a few drops of Lemongrass to this blend! Add as much or as little as you like!)
Experiment with the oils to find a blend that is appealing to you! Here's to a delicious smelling home & chemical-free canine! And don't forget to join us on Facebook if you haven't already so we can hear what you want to know more about!
