The Benefits of Essential Oils for Animals ~ Thieves

Thieves contains Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, and Rosemary.

Thieves is an incredible mainstay in animal therapies. With antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic, antibacterial, and immune-boosting properties, there are many indications for its use. Thieves is considered a "hot" oil for topical use, so one must take care when administering this oil in animals, especially in dogs, cats, and smaller animals. Thieves is most commonly used orally for many needs, primarily as an antibiotic.

The general diffusion of Thieves is also found to reduce allergy symptoms both in humans and in animals. Thieves diffusion also reduces the desire of insects and external parasites to stay in the vicinity of the diffusion.

Birds & Exotics: Water diffusion of Thieves is the most common route of administration, and is often performed with caging or tenting (3-4 drops in the diffuser). Thieves can be added to foods, but is not often added to drinking water due to the "hot" nature of the oil blend. Indirect diffusion of Thieves is commonly used as well by placing a drop or two on cotton balls or on cage papers. All respiratory conditions will benefit.

Cats: Thieves is generally used for cats as described within all of the guidelines when used for birds & exotics. For oral consumption, please refer to the Animal Desk Reference guide.

Dogs & Larger Animals: There are so many conditions that benefit from the use of Thieves essential oil that it is difficult to list them all! Ringworm, fungal skin infections, bacterial skin infections, and more benefit from additional Thieves added to Animal Scents Shampoo, Thieves Household Cleaner, or Animal Scents Ointment for application. Any hoof condition in a horse seems to benefit from neat Thieves application, even laminitis. Application amounts and usage in combination with other Young Living products vary, so please ask the person who invited you to consult the ADR for further description of products, and for more information on their many uses!

Everyday Essential Oils for Horses ~ Thieves

Thieves essential oil blend was given its name because of a small group of thieves that used these oils to protect themselves from getting sick as they robbed the dead and dying during the plagues of 14th century Europe.  This blend of oils is shown to be antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral.  It is highly effective when used at the onset of candida, thrush, and flu symptoms.  It is used for abscesses, hoof rot, thrush, skin fungus, infections, ringworm, and laminitis. Weber State University studies have shown that, when diffused, Thieves kills 99.96% of microbes in as little as 12 minutes. Thieves Toothpaste, with added Thieves essential oil, makes a wonderful poultice for scratches, rain rot, and thrush.

Horses respond exceptionally well to essential oils.  Although they are large, they often will respond greatly to even smaller amounts of essential oils.  A common belief amongst animal lovers and animal professionals is that in the wild, all animals roam and find plants that contain beneficial essential oils that they need.  Chewing and stripping bark from trees, rolling in certain plants, eating grass and leaves, smelling plants while grazing, and even wandering through certain aromatic plants all expose an animal to nature's wonderful plant oils. Even domesticated animals, such as cats and dogs, often eat grass as a way to soothe an upset stomach, and / or to make themselves vomit to rid themselves of whatever is upsetting their system.
