7 Greatest Alternative Remedies for Horses |
by Jon Hartford
Vetiver Oil: Comes from the roots of the Vetiver plant. This natural essential oil is a calming stimulant also known as 'oil of tranquility'. High quality Vetiver Oils are seperated using partial pressure steam distillation. It is used to releive stress and tension, soothe the mind, and is extremely helpful in cases of exhaustion -- mental and physical.
Neroli Oil: Produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. It is used to treat skin conditions caused by stress, and to calm emotions of grief and sadness. Can also prevent scarring and stretch marks when used on the skin.
Bergamot Oil: Taken from the rind of the Bergamot Orange, this oil's claim to fame is actually as an ingredient in Earl Grey tea. Used to get rid of halitosis, lessen fatigue, and stimulate the immune system. It is not recommended to give internally in excess, however, as it can cause photosensitivity.
Violet Leaf Oil: Used to treat sluggish circulation, headaches, insomnia, stress, and as a calming oil. The plant it comes from has dark violet flowers and grows natively in the Middle East and Europe.
Rescue Remedy: Generally consists of extracts from Cherry Plum, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Clematis, and Star of Bethlehem. Used to treat trauma, shock, panic, and mental breakdown. It can also be used on people and some pets.
Lavender Oil: A calming oil obtained by distillation from the flower spikes of certain species of lavender. Used to positively influence skin and the emotion. Can be used neat on the skin, unlike most other essential oils.
Peppermint Oil: Helps treat respritory and circulation problems and as a digestive aid. It should be dilluted if used externally. May also be useful for treating colic, spasms, vomiting, dizziness, and travel sickness.
