Using Desert Alchemy® Flower Essences with Pets and Other Animals

Pets are such a blessing to us. They provide us with companionship, loyalty, an exercise buddy, unconditional love, and more.

Sometimes they can use a little help from the flower essence world, especially if they have a history of trauma, were initially feral, or have other behavioral issues in adapting to a new environment.

How to use
Pets and animals respond very well to flower essences. To administer them to an animal, use four or more drops in the animal’s drinking water, four or more times a day. For horses or other large animals, use ten to twenty drops at a time. Another powerful way to use them is by placing a few drops on your hands and stroking the animal down the spine or other parts of the body.
Length of time
The length of time to use an essence may vary. A guideline is to use the flower essence for two to three weeks and observe the animal’s behavior.
Number of essences
It is fine to use more than one flower essence at the same time. Usually up to four or five essences are indicated.
