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 dachshund puppy got ringworm on his tummy. I had read that Lavender oil works on ringworm, so I decided to give it a try. It seem to be working and drying it up, but to make sure I took my pup to the vet. The vet ran a test and it was not conclusive, but just by looking he really felt that's what it was.
The vet gave me some meds to put on the affected area, but I just kept using Lavender oil a few more days, and then the ringworm was completely gone.
Now I'm sure that it was ringworm due to that a couple of my cats came up with same thing. I did the same with Lavender oil and it disappeared also. Now on the cats I did dilute oil with a few drops of V-6 oil. I was told that cats are more sensitive to the oils.
Later my husband also got ringworm on his neck. So I put Lavender oil on it, along with a drop of Lemon oil, to help dry it up faster. Within a day the ringworm was nearly gone.
