Our dog Sabrina Moon is a hoot. Each night before she goes to bed she likes to partake of an aromatic cocktail--mine. I find her waiting patiently as I get ready for bed and as I place my glass of plant spirit water or aromatic tea down she begins to insist on sharing it with me. I understand why she likes her nightly night cap. Sabrina has irritable bowl syndrome and the hydrosols in the water help her stomach to relax and feel good. Her favorite flavors of course are the mints. She loves peppermint and spearmint, and her next two favorites are lavender and chamomile.
My husband and I get such a kick out of watching her savor her evening cocktail, however, recently her aromatic addiction had gone a bit too far. I was working with one of my clients and I had poured her a beverage that I had added some hydrosol to. As we were talking we heard some gulping and right there in front of us was Sabrina up on the chair indulging herself in my clients drink. Thankfully my client was a dog lover and we laughed it off.
Sabrina loves these plant spirit drinks. We sense that she knows they are good for her and we are also fully aware of the fact that these particular hydrosols that she enjoys have been used for centuries to assist the digestive tract in one way or another. Animals have a natural affinity with nature and they instinctualy know what can assist them. So it is wonderful to watch this natural wisdom in Sabrina unfold.
We have incorporated the hyrdrosols into her daily aromatic lifestyle and have seen some positive changes with her daily eliminations, her energy level and spirit as well.
If your pet has stomach distress, constipation, irritable bowl syndrome, or any immune system disorders I suggest adding a cap full of aromatic hydrosol to your pet's water bowl. I trust you will see wonderful results; and who knows-- maybe your pets will become hydrosol connoisseurs too.
Hydrosols for the season can be found on both the Summer Line and Pet Alchemist pages of my website.
