Vetiver Root c/s
Vetiver is excellent for making a topical poultice.
Vetiver is sometimes applied directly to the skin for relieving stress, as well as for emotional traumas and shock, lice, and repelling insects. It is also used for arthritis, stings, and burns. Vetiver is sometimes inhaled as aromatherapy for nervousness, insomnia, and joint and muscle pain.
Vetiver is not listed on the ASPCA and Pet Poison Helpline websites as being safe or not for Cats. Other leading pet websites also haven’t commented on it as well.
Not only is vetiver oil (we do not carry as oil only dried root for you to work with) safe for dogs, but it is superb for calming anxious animals. A great oil to use around 4th July and New Year's Eve, if you have a dog who doesn't like loud noises, for example. It can be used topically, or in a diffuser, or even just to inhale, to calm your pet at any time.
