Thank you Jayney for the information about the essential oils I would like to spray but I’m comcerned as I have 3 cats, can you suggest what is the safest thing for me to do.
Great Question Liz – thanks so much. I found this on the Nature’s Best website – I have known these people for a log time and trust their information. Overall, Lavender seems to be the safest to use – and of course this is one of the potent anti-viral oils – so make good use of it – but do have a read here to learn more: Essential oils to consider Lavender (a.k.a. the Queen of essential oils): Useful for conditioning pets to feel safe (some vet surgeries even diffuse it to reassure panicky pets); may also help with insomnia,… Read more »

Pure Essential oils are a… Read more »
Dear Martha, Thank you so much for your points here. I have undertaken some research to ascertain whether grape seed oil is noted in the literature as an anti-hypertensive. I have not been able to find any evidence of this – so please could you point me in the direction of your sources as I would love to read them. What we do know is that grape seed extract is a hugely potent anti-oxidant which has heart health benefits – along with numerous other health benefits. It is certainly worth looking at as a supplement. As regards the blood-pressure elevating… Read more »
