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.


A lab collie mix had developed an ear hematoma. The malassezia or yeast was controlled by the combination of Animal Scents ointment, Melrose, Lavender. The hematoma developed and was located in the upper pinna only. It was small at the point of treatment. The essential oils of helichyrsum and Cistus were used to reduce the size and control additional bleeding.

After one day the size had reduced to 1/2 and it no longer bothered the dog. The owner continued to use the oils several times a day until resolution. This took approximately 5 days for complete regression of the hematoma. The scarring that ususally occurs with the hematoma absorption was also reduced to minimal. The yeast infection resolved with the oils and are being used on a maintence basis to control the yeast overgrowth.
