Aromatherapies

Two types of aromatherapy are used at Rescued Tails:

Diffuser with Relaxing Botanicals

An atomizer is placed near the location of the massage dispersing calming vapors into the air throughout the massage. Lavender is very effective, as well as Neroli which both work well to calm your dog.

Rescue Remedy and Bach Flowers

Rescue Remedy is used before some canine massage therapy sessions by applying to my hands for them to smell and touch. It is also effective when used by placing a drop on the dog’s paw, ear or nose.

The 5 Bach Flower Remedies in Rescue Remedy:

Star of Bethlehem – Orithogalum umbellatum. Helps animals that have experienced abuse, trauma and shock, whether experienced recently or in the past. Helps the animal let go of the trauma and enjoy life.

Cherry Plum – Prunus cerasifera. Helps animals who seem to have lost control of their actions such as constant barking, scratching or licking.

Impatiens – Impatiens gladulifera. Helps those animals who are impatient and can’t wait for for their meal or going for a walk.
