Vitaflex points: A very important part of applying Essential oils to your pet!
Vitaflex points are critical when applying Essential oils to humans AND PETS. So we always recommend you apply our blends to these areas.

Using a blend instead of a single essential oil...

Just as there are many types of tumors, different essential oils can target various cell types a bit differently.

GREAT QUESTION! And as I find myself answering questions about this topic, all day, by email, Facebook, and our "contact us" form on this site, I find myself not just saying, "there's and oil for that!" at every turn.
