Re: OT- Ticks/Lyme disease

A healthy immune system is the best defense against parasites. Hopefully your

dogs are unvaxed and eating a species appropriate diet. That's the first and

most important step.

From another list I'm on, I have heard this recipe is an effective tick

repellent:

" I fill a spray bottle with water (1/2 of the water can be Apple cider

vinegar instead for added protection) add 15 drops of eucalyptus oil

and 15 of peppermint oil. Shake well and spray on coat. "

NOTE, if your dogs (or you) are undergoing homeopathic treatment, do NOT use

these essential oils. You CAN use ACV and lavendar oil in water as an

alternative.

And as far as signing posts, it's like signing your name to a written letter.

name. And not everyone's names are listed on their email.

We're in a heavily tick populated area and around dogs that we tick check

daily - and find them.

Are there any 'natural' substances to deter ticks? or to treat after the

fact?

Kay,

Will this spray help any with fleas? I cannot bear the thought of putting

that flea and tick stuff on our cat but I grew up with fleas in my house from

our dogs and cats and they devoured me. It was horrible. Not to mention the

chemicals it takes in your house to get rid of them.

I haven't put anything on her yet but we're in warm weather now here in NC and

I need some flea protection. Any tips?

I don't see why it wouldn't work for kids, remembering not to use the eucalyptus

or peppermint oil if undergoing homeopathic treatment. Stick to the lavender

oil instead.

I purchased a bottle of this insect repellent, but haven't had a chance to put

it to the test yet. Again some of the ingredients might interfere with

homeopathy, so check with your homeopath before using.

I'm not sure, Sheri. It was listed as a tick repellent. And with cats, I've

heard they are very sensitive to essential oils (as in it can cause death), so I

would check with someone more knowledgeable about that before using on your cat.

Many strong odors or flavors, typically mint, eucalyptus, coffee, etc. have the

ability to antidote remedies. It's best to check with your own homeopath as to

what they recommend. Some remedies and some people are more sensitive to being

antidoted than others.

Kay

Re: OT- Ticks/Lyme disease

Why should we not use the oils if under going homeopathic treatment?

[Guest guest]

, some essential oils antidote homoeopathic remedies, rendering them

useless. Not every essential oil does this, and different ones will

affect/antidote different remedies, but if you are undergoing homoeopathic

treatment it is best to play it safe. Eucalyptus in particular is a big

antidoting oil, but lavender is *supposed* to be okay.

My personal opinion, while respecting that there are recognised antidoting

efffects to some oils, is that once a homoeopathic remedy has triggered a

healing response within the body and got things moving, essential oils are

unlikely to interfere with that.

Love, light and peace,

Sue

This came up last year, when I was talking about how my homeopath said to avoid

patchouli and lavender, along with the " mint " family.

anything very pungent.

It affected me early in my homeopathic treatment

I got a migraine right after and had to repeat my remedy that had worked

and brought me to a point with no migraines.

I was fine again after that and have been ever since

It was early in my treatment

I think the key is once the healing gets a good start, like Sue pointed out,

then the odors might not be as big an issue. I'm always one to be safe rather

than sorry, so I try to avoid them at all costs while undergoing treatment (even

though I LOVE the smell of eucalyptus!)
