Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


My 11-month-old French Bulldog was diagnosed with dysautonomia, a disease poorly understood and basically untreatable to modern medicine. It is most common in the Midwest in young dogs that live near cow country. Veterinarians believe Clostridium bacteria could be involved.

My dog was vomiting and either could not poop or had diarrhea. He was also drooling and was unable to eat or drink. His legs would shake as well. Within 3 days he could not walk or even lift his head off of the floor. I was told that he would likely not survive a week and that I should prepare the kids.

I took him home and started alternating Helichrysum, the Thieves oil blend, and Peppermint on him. Every 2 to 3 hours during the day I would drop about 3 drops of essential oil up his spine, from tail to neck. I got some advice through a friend to do a Raindrop Technique on him, which I did once a day, alternating the essential oils I would use each day.

I tried to customize each day's essential oils to a specific theme based on what he needed: anti-inflammatory one day, anti-pathogen the next day, oils to help gut motility on the following day, oils for nausea the day after that, etc. I tried to always follow up with a driver or enhancer oil like Peppermint or Copaiba.

Most of the time my dog would just lie down and sleep for hours afterwards and wake up a little bit better than before. Sometimes he would twitch too.

I kept this regimen up for about 4 weeks, by which time he had improved so much that I was able to cut him back to just one or two oiling sessions a day. He was still having trouble with elimination, so I switched to Helichrysum on the spine and a few drops each (layered) of Eucalyptus, Cypress, and Peppermint on his belly.

It has been 7 weeks now, and I am still treating my dog every day or two with essential oils. I have been to 3 vets who all have told me that his progress has been remarkable and that he should be dead! They also requested a copy of my treatment records for using essential oils.

The only remnants of the disease we are still working on are gut motility and the ability to fully empty his bladder. Bottom line is essential oils saved my dog's life!

*** 2017 UPDATE ***
It has been 2 years since he was diagnosed, he is off all oils and treatments and has regained 100% functionality. He still has a slower than normal urine stream, but has no other effects from this terrible ordeal. Feel free to contact me with questions!

This study reported the peripheral and central antinociceptive activity of the EOAD [essential oil of A. dracunculus] and rationalized the traditional use of the plant in the treatment of different painful conditions."Link
7.Associated topics: colon-/-gut-/-intestines-/-bowels — "Anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic [muscle spasms], antimicrobial, antioxidant, carminative [flatulence] and immunomodulatory properties of caraway suggest that it might exert beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).... CHE and CEO [caraway essential oil] at all doses tested were effective in reducing colon tissue lesions and colitis indices and the efficacy was nearly the same when different doses of plant fractions were administered p.o. or i.p..... These data suggest that caraway fractions are both effective and possess anti-colitic activity irrespective of the dose and route of administration."Link
8.Associated topics: colon-/-gut-/-intestines-/-bowels — "Phytogenic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are currently discussed as promising complementary agents in prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our study aimed to evaluate possible protective and curative effects of broccoli extract (BE) and of the essential oils of turmeric (Cuo), thyme (To), and rosemary (Ro) in a rat model with a mild dextran sulphate sodium- (DSS-) induced colitis.... We conclude that the phytogenic additives tested have a promising anti-inflammatory potential in vivo and a particular role in the prevention of IBD."Link
