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 Black Australorp rooster and one of my Buff Orpington hens had some black tips on their combs from frostbite. I used the recipe below and added the Melrose essential oil blend, then applied it to their combs. It is two days later and they look good as new!
My natural non-petroleum jelly recipe:
* 1/8 cup grated beeswax (about 1 ounce)
* 1/2 cup olive oil
Combine beeswax and oil in a small saucepan. Melt over very low heat or in the top of a double boiler.
Pour into a jar to cool.
Once completely cool, add lid and close tightly.
If you want a firmer consistency, add more beeswax. It's okay to remelt the jelly after it has hardened. Just keep working on it until you are happy with the consistency.
You can add any essential oils you would like: Peppermint and Eucalyptus for a vapor rub type, Cypress, Marjoram and Lavender for frostbite or as a barrier.
I am now using this for my Australorp Rooster's comb in the freezing weather, the possibilities are endless.

| frostbite - "Topical high-concentration L-menthol is the only established human experimental pain model to study mechanisms underlying cold hyperalgesia. We aimed at investigating the combinatorial effect of cold stimuli and topical L-menthol on cold pain and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia. Cold detection threshold and cold pain threshold (CPT) increased after L-menthol and remained high after the cold rekindling cycles.... Skin blood flow increased after L-menthol and stayed stable after cold cycles. Repeated application of cold on skin treated by L-menthol facilitated and prolonged L-menthol-induced cold pain and hyperalgesia." | Link |
