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.
My Italian Greyhound had so much pain in his throat that he was whining very loudly. I was afraid he got something stuck there, but after talking to the vet I figured it was tonsillitis. He was swollen in front of the neck and behind the jaws. He could hardly walk and I had to carry him when going outside.
So I put the Thieves oil blend (mixed with Olive oil) under his paws. I had some Peppermint and Frankincense in the ultrasonic diffuser close to him.
I also mixed a drop of Frankincense with a few drops Thieves and Olive oil which I had him swallow. (I sucked it up in a straw which I then put in his mouth and blew it in there.) I also massaged his neck and had a little of aloe vera in the V-6 that I put on the front of his neck.
He was laying down for hours. We finally got him to drink some water by putting liver pate in the bottom of his water bowl. It didn't take long for him to recover. He had a good nights sleep and the next morning he was happy and healthy like nothing had ever happened!
We were so amazed to see this process take place.

| 1. | Associated topics: sore-/-scratchy-throat — "The antibacterial activity of 14 essential oils and their major constituents in the gaseous state was evaluated against [respiratory tract pathogens] Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. [The] oils [with cinnamon bark, lemongrass, and thyme being most potent] and their major constituents were shown to be effective against various bacteria tested.... These results indicate that the antibacterial action of essential oils was most effective when at high vapor concentration for a short time." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: puppy-/-dog-/-canine — "Idiopathic vestibular syndrome is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular disease in dogs and, despite its dramatic clinical presentation, can improve without intervention." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: tonsillitis,sore-/-scratchy-throat,throat — "Streptococcus pyogenes [strep] plays an important role in the pathogenesis of tonsillitis.... [T]hyme, cinnamon, lemongrass, tea tree, lavender, oregano, clove, palmarosa, or cajeput [melaleuca] EOs [essential oils] are known to be active against Streptococcus pyogenes, while oregano, basil, mint [peppermint], rosemary, and lavender EOs are known to inhibit another Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus [staph].... We showed that cinnamon presented the higher activity against S. pyogenes compared to the other EOs tested.... 14 [essential oils] showed antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes.... Among them Cinnamomum verum [cinnamon bark], Cymbopogon citratus [Xiang Mao], Thymus vulgaris CT thymol [thyme], Origanum compactum [oregano], and Satureja montana [Mountain Savory] essential oils exhibited significant antibacterial activity. The in vitro results reported here suggest that, for patients suffering from bacterial throat infections, if aromatherapy is used, these essential oils, considered as potential antimicrobial agents, should be preferred." | Link |

[T]hey inhibit S. aureus biofilm formation and exhibit effective killing activities on preformed biofilms." | Link |
