Here you will find some common questions about animal aromatherapy and light therapy. If you cannot find an answer to your question, please reach out us.
Animal aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of natural essential oils to restore or maintain the well-being of your animal. It involves the combination of carefully diluted oils that can be administered through diffusion, topically or orally to improve specific conditions or ailments.
Essential oils are botanical extracts made from the bark, leaves, flowers, rinds, roots, stems, or wood of aromatic plants. They are highly concentrated substances that are derived through distillation, cold-expression, and solvent extraction methods.
Essential oils aren’t the same as fragrance oils or perfumes. Typically, fragrances contain synthetic chemicals like solvents, stabilizers, UV-absorbers, preservatives, and dyes. Pure essential oils only contain plant extracts and have extremely powerful medicinal properties.
Aromatherapy is a safe and effective alternative therapy for many animals and can be used therapeutically for both physical and behavioral issues. The oils are absorbed through inhalation or skin contact, and sometimes ingestion. Animals, particularly dogs, have a stronger olfactory sense than humans, so inhaling essential oils quickly transports the effects into their bloodstream. This makes aromatherapy fast-acting and is the reason why it can help with the treatment of certain conditions so well. Used correctly, oils can be used to target specific areas by triggering chemicals associated with certain biological tissues in the body.
Essential oils can be used to treat a wide array of conditions and ailments. The following are some of the effects of essential oils, depending on which combinations are used.
Essential oils can be used for so many other preventative and treatment measures, which make them a viable and valuable alternative to allopathic approaches.
This question is not simply answered with a yes or no.
Animals are more sensitive to essential oils than humans, so there are special dilution guidelines required for different animals and oils. As long as they are diluted and used appropriately, essentials oils are safe for use on animals. On the other hand, there are some oils that are toxic and should not be used, so it is important to educate yourself and be careful using oils around animals.
One of the most important things about aromatherapy is efficacy and using 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. Many essential oils are adulterated with chemicals that are very toxic to pets to breathe in. We use and recommend doTERRA products.
Why doTERRA? The essential oil industry did not have standards to ensure purity, so doTERRA created one. Every batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a rigorous testing process—well beyond what would be considered “good enough.” After that, each oil is sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation.
Light therapy is a simple, noninvasive treatment for pets that is widely used to reduce pain and inflammation, improve healing after injuries and surgeries and is an effective treatment for chronic conditions.
Light therapy uses low energy light emitting diodes (LED's) which utilizes various wavelengths of photons to penetrate the skin, bone, muscles, and different tissues in the body. Once absorbed, the light energy is converted to cellular energy. This enhances the functioning of mitochondria, which takes in nutrients, breaks them down and improves the functioning of the whole cell. This can result in a series of metabolic responses such as improved healing, increased circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced collagen production, and heightened activity in the lymphatic system.
Yes. Numerous peer-reviewed studies and trials have demonstrated that animals tolerate red light therapy treatments well, with few side effects. Unlike most conventional treatments, red light therapy is safe, non-invasive, and uses no chemicals or drugs. There are no UV rays in red and infrared LED light therapy, so there are no associated risks of skin cancer.
Light therapy is beneficial for humans as well as a wide variety of animal species. Although commonly used on companion animals like dogs and cats, light sessions have also been used on various rodents, ferrets, pigs, horses, and more. Mammals have very similar cellular respiration processes so red light therapy has similar effects on ATP energy production.
A typical light therapy session is fairly quick, lasting anywhere from 3-15 minutes depending on the animal and condition. While some dogs and cats might take more encouragement than others, most are happy to sit for a short light therapy session.
Some people notice an immediate difference in their pets behavior or symptoms, while others take a few sessions to see results. With regular visits, you should start to see improvement in your pet's condition within a few weeks.
