She subsequently implemented a lot of changes, such as getting toxic chemicals out, eating only organic food, and eventually using essential oils, which she described as the final 25% of the total solution.
Today's Zoom presentation was by Dr. Susan Albright, a holistic veterinarian who uses essential oils in her practice. I only caught the tail end of it, so I'll provide an update when the recording comes out. One great anecdote came from oils guru Kathryn Trestain who used to have a pet goat. The goat developed a severe bloating problem, to the point where the goat's eyes were rolling back and she was sure he was going to die. She had already taken him to the vet, who tried Tums and a bunch of other things that didn't work. He finally offered to puncture the goat's abdomen to let off the pressure. Instead, Kathryn took him home and applied peppermint oil and within FIVE MINUTES the goat was already feeling better, and the problem resolved itself.
As near as I can tell, with abdominal stress of this severity the intestines fail to move things along. The peppermint oil apparently relaxed the intestines back into their normal state so that nature could take care of things.
Another tip is to use Thieves oil for clean-up and disinfecting. Apparently Thieves is one of the few things that can kill MRSA.
In exchange for your email address, you can sign up for a free half-hour class with Dr. Albright at https://www.animalscentsu.com/a/29633/wm94EVoY. For example, she recommends lavender for surgical healing, peppermint for post-surgery wake-up, myrtle or ravinara for clearing the air, lavender/chamomile/valerian/vetiver/cedarwood for calming before going to the groomer, etc.
Ravinsara, not ravinara.
