Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


I used the Digize oil blend from Young Living with our German Shepherd who had all kinds of allergy issues. He just couldn't deal with being in his own skin. I'm sure most of this originated in his gut as he couldn't tolerate food.

I would put a drop of Digize in my hands and rub them on his head and his whole demeanor would immediately settle down.

He also had severe ear infections due to the allergies. I used diluted apple cider vinegar with a couple drops of Tea Tree oil to clean his ears. I would use a cotton ball to rub the mixture in his ears so that the oil did not get into the ear canal.

This procedure worked as well as, if not better than, the treatments provided by the vet. Plus these alternatives were approved by his vet.

I love my oils!

On the basis of these results, chamomile EO can be recommended as a potentially useful, bioactive candidate for therapeutic applications."Link
