Treat your dog for fleas naturally with the use of essential oils
An increasing number of people are turning away from treating their dogs for fleas by the traditional methods of administering spot on treatments, sprays and powders, and looking towards more gentle and natural methods of treating fleas.
In this article we are going to look at how you can use essential oils as an effective method of both treating a dog who has fleas and also using essential oils as a repellent for fleas.
Let us look first at using essential oils as a repellent for dog fleas. The best time to begin this process is around winter time, as the flea population is very low at this time of the year, although not completely non existent, as many homes these days have central heating, and the warm atmosphere can help maintain the flea breeding cycle throughout the year but, usually not to a degree to cause your dog too much of a problem.
To keep fleas to a minimum you will need to treat both your dog, his or her basket and bedding, plus your house. Wash your pets bedding and basket regularly; use 2 to 4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil in a very hot wash, as you will eliminate both fleas and dust mites in your pets bedding at the same time.
To treat your home, vacuum regularly, especially areas that are dark, warm and harbor dust, as these are ideal breeding areas for fleas. Examples of such places are under furniture, beds and under carpets.
Use lavender scented detergent mixed with 4 to 8 drops of lavender essential oil to clean your floors. Pay special attention to where the floors meet the walls, as these crevices are another place where fleas can exist undetected and breed successfully.
It's now time to use your essential oils as a flea repellent on your dog. You can do this in a number of ways, but a simple and effective programme will consist of the following; bath your dog using a natural dog shampoo that has had 3 drops of lavender, 2 drops of lemon grass and 3 drops of citronella essential oil added to it. Bath your dog using this solution on a regular basis using this solution.
When bathing your dog remember to pay attention to areas like the base of his tail, the back of his ears and between his paws.
Take an old spray bottle filled with water and add 8 drops of lavender essential oil and spray your dogs fur, especially his back area, base of his tail and neck. Remember to cover your dogs eyes when spraying his neck area.
If you think your dog may already have fleas, check first to see if this is the case. Dogs scratch for all kinds of reasons; stress, allergic reactions to certain food, or a badly conditioned coat for example.
Carefully check your dogs fur, if you find small black flakes on his skin or in his fur, especially around the base of his tail, his back or around his neck, this is flea excrement and you will need to be treated.
Treat your dog in the way described above, but on a more frequent basis, for example, give your dog a lavender bath 2 times per week, and spray his coat with lavender spray once per day. you can treat flea bites with undiluted lavender essential oil, or tea tree essential oil, as both these oils are excellent antiseptics. If you are using tea tree oil, don't use it neat, mix 2 to 3 drops in a cup of water, and clean the infected area with cotton wool balls.
Keep checking your dogs fur, until there are no further signs of fleas. To keep your dog free from fleas in the future, keep his coat in good condition by bathing him regularly, and grooming his coat. When grooming your dog check his coat for fleas. Keeping your dog fit and healthy, through a good diet, exercise and regular grooming is the first defense to flea control, as fleas are much more likely to infest unhealthy animals rather than healthy ones.
Following these simple steps to natural flea treatment, will ensure you dog remain free from fleas all year round.

6 Ways to Use Essential Oils for Non-toxic House Cleaning
Many of us know the value of essential oils used in skin care and, of course, in an aromatherapy treatment (eg. an essential oil massage) itself, but did you know that simple baking soda, plain white vinegar and a few favorite essential oils are about all you need in your cleaning pantry for daily cleaning and sanitizing of your home?
Often there is an entire supermarket aisle dedicated to the many, and often confusing, sink and tub powders, cleaning creams, antibacterial wipes, toilet cleaners, floor cleaners, window cleaners, etc. - there's a product for every different part of the home. Really though, there is very little need for such a ridiculously huge number of chemicals.
Baking soda is about as efficient as any cleansing cream or powder, and plain white vinegar and/or certain essential oils, such as eucalyptus, manuka, thyme or australian tea tree, are highly effective antimicrobial alternatives to the never ending number of cleaning solutions we seem to think we need. And, even though there are many new 'green' alternatives also beginning to line the supermarket shelves, they're not all necessary.
'Green Cleaning' Your Home
The benefits to using ‘green’ alternatives - baking soda, vinegar and essential oils for keeping your home clean and sanitized include:
- Eliminates toxic chemicals from our home, ground water, septics and water courses (pond, rivers, etc);
- Bonus aromatherapy treatment - pleasant and effective aroma-therapeutic elements are not possible from synthetic fragrances.
- Compare the fake fragrances to the aroma of real eucalyptus leaves in a newly cleaned bathroom, or the fake floral smell of synthetic dryer sheets with real lavender drifting out of an opened linen closet from essential oils sprinkled on napkins and left between towels and sheets;
- It tells chemical manufacturers that we’re not interested in poisoning our planet any more, and encourages them to think of greener, sustainable alternatives.
Getting Started
* BATHROOM sprinkle some baking soda onto a moist rag and use this to clean bathroom surfaces. Rinse thoroughly. To sanitize, wipe surfaces with a clean cloth soaked in vinegar then wipe dry after allowing it to sit a few minutes. For a fresh aroma, place 5-7 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil onto a rinsing cloth and wipe this over hard surfaces.
* LINENS: Place 8-10 drops of Lavender Essential Oil onto a piece of rag or paper towel then place between linens and sheets in the cupboard. Enjoy a delicate lavender scent each time you walk past the cupboard!
* SHOE DEODORIZER? Place a cup of baking soda into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add 20 drops of Lavender Essential Oil. Shake well to disperse the essential oils then use this as your deodorizer! 2 tablespoons of this powder in each shoe, shaken around to coat all of the inner shoe surfaces, left overnight or, even better, for a week, then tapped out, will do wonders to eliminate the smell from those old sneakers! And the deodorizing effect last for a very long time.
* TOOTHPASTE ALLERGY? I have an allergy to 99% of commercial toothpastes. Instead of using these I make a tooth powder with baking soda pre-mixed with a few drops of Spearmint Essential Oil. A small amount of this sprinkled onto a wet toothbrush is all that is needed for the cleanest teeth, ever.
* WINDOWS: a 50:50 water/vinegar solution in a sprayer can replace those highly fragranced synthetic cleanser. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for fragrance if you like (you'll need to shake before using to disperse the oil).
* REPLACE DRYER SHEETS: that are highly doused in toxic synthetic fragrances with a 6? square out of a clean rag that has been covered with about 10 drops of your favorite Essential Oil.
