Buyer beware.
I had a horse that had colic and a sore foot, so I used a hot compress on her foot to relieve her pain.
Then I went and got an old inner tube and cut it in half. Before I put her foot in the tube I applied a few drops each of Lavender, Helichrysum and the Melrose oil blend to the frog of her foot. Then putting her foot in the inner tube I folded it up and filled it with hot water, next I put 5 drops of each Lavender, Helichrysum, and Melrose in the water.
After 45 minutes of sleeping with her foot in the tube of hot water she walked away with out a limp. Before she could not put any weight on that foot to walk. I never saw a horse trying to carry her foot in the air before, but that was the only way she could walk because it hurt so much.
I also applied the DiGize oil blend and Ortho Sport to her flanks to relax the muscles and ease her tummy pain.
