ANIMALS BODY MIND SPIRIT
Nicola Richardson, Animal Healer
Love Your Animal, Heal Your Animal
It was not until I became exposed to self-medication did I truly comprehend the power of these oils. I used to associate them with aromatherapy, which of course has its calming effects but I did not understand the impact the oils can have at cellular level, the impact of healing the body, mind and spirit. I did not understand their true power.
But I do now! They are unbelievably effective in so many ways. And their healing capacity is tremendous. I extend much gratitude to these wonderful plants daily for all they offer.
The “real deal” oils are powerful. They are not for diffusing and making your house smell better. The “real deal” oils are healers, deep powerful healers. This is why sourcing is everything as there is so much on the market which is marketed very well but not the real deal. This is why I only use two companies in the world, listed below.
There are only a few places in the world I source my essential oils, and Zoopharmacognosey supplies from, to work with the animals. The oils MUST be food grade and organic.
Part of the Plant Matters
It is important to note when using essential oils, one is using the right part of the plant when it comes to our animals selecting, there are many different types of extractions from the same plant. Therefore, please pay attention to the Latin name for distinction.
It is beneficial to learn the Latin name of the oils used with the animals as this identifies the specific part of the plant the oil was extracted from.
Evey part of the plant has specific healing properties, this matters in the healing process.
If you do not know how to use the oils with animals please reach out or purchase Caroline Ingraham’s book or take her courses. It is a specific process, a little bit of a dance actually to get the body healed. It is all about the animal directing the process with the humans learning their cues and having PATIENCE. Love and patience. This is not about the ‘human knows best” and pushing the process onto the animal.
Loss of trust, and potential damage to the body may occur if the animal is not followed, and respected. The animal must be listened to during this process.
This is NOT a process of human knows best.
Ultimately, the potential of the healing process will not be supported if the human forces anything. Please take this very seriously.
To help provide direction, the following oils are processed by the animals consistently I find when they need help after my healing sessions.
Every animal is unique as is their journey here on earth so the synergy they require versus another will differ. But I find, based on what the animals are dealing with, these oils listed below are a requirement in the household if you wish to support your animal using this healing method.
Those oils listed below with an asterisk * I suggest having a few bottles in the house if one has medium to large sized dogs as sometimes the dogs direct application. These oils support negating chemicals which many of the animals are exposed to via humans and the environment we have all created.
Inflammation & Pain
Clearing Chemicals and Toxicity
Clearing Vaccinations, Heavy Metals
Negating Bacteria, Fungus, Mold, Mycotoxins
Behaviour, Reinstating Calm, Sense of Security
It is very important to understand the above essential oils are medicine to your animal, and will shift and help the body heal via smell.
Knowing how to use the oils takes practise, practise and more practise until you begin to understand the cues of your animal and how to present the correct synergy.
The time of day also ties into this massively as the meridians have high and low periods throughout the 24 hour day cycle. Therefore, where the animal is weak the time of day will dictate the synergy of oils needed to help heal and make them strong again. Just like humans.
The herb page on this website provides a lot of information about the properties of the oils too.
What is crucial to understand also I feel, is your animal is a database full of programs and belief systems. Sometimes these will block the animal directing fully and completely especially if their main concern is their human.
Healing via shifting energy using dowsing helps clear the “database” I find so the oils and herbs can then take over the balance of the healing. Every being is unique, so if you find an animal is not so receptive, do not label them as “this is just them”, have someone check them to see what is blocking their “will to be well”, their “will to heal”.
Negative entities can definitely play a large part in this if the animal has been unwell, as the animal will be providing a huge source of energy to the dark side so they will not wish the animal to participate. Please reach out to learn more.
Two powerful antibacterials below processed via smell by the animals.
There is so much fear around this topic. I would imagine this has to do with people using adulterated products, not knowing what they are doing, and not following the animal’s lead.
When you follow the animal’s lead, you cannot do harm, as they are telling you what to do. All of my cats have actively participated heavily with essential oils, sitting right beside them to breathe in the full healing benefits of all the oils. They are very clear, when they have had enough. And they have licked them, ingested them too.
A lot of the time when I am working with the dogs, the cats will come and sit in on the session, usually above the oils so they can power up inhaling heavily. Again, it is always their choice. Caroline Ingraham, the guru of Zoopharmacognosey, has been doing this for years. She has never ever had a cat who was harmed by the process. Only healed.
Some research for those of you interested:

The Animal Desk Reference II, Essential Oils for Animals by Melissa Shelton DVM
Melissa’s journey into essential oils is very interesting. It started with her kids not being well due to corn syrup, helping them heal with essential oils and then transferring this information years later to animals, as she was a young veterinarian at the time. This book contains a lot of great information where she also explains heavily about the use of essential oils and cats and never experiencing any harm done. She uses diffuses and sprays etc.
It is important to note, Dr. Shelton does not practise self-selection, so the animals are not dictating quantities and their “own medicine” and the sequence which it is taken. This is why Zoopharmacognosey is so special, because we are following the animal’s lead, their intelligence. We are not thinking we know best.
Animal Self-Medication by Caroline Ingraham
This is a MUST HAVE for all homes with animals. Caroline’s work is amazing as it is all about honouring the animal’s innate divine intelligence and following their direction. Quality of oils is crucial for working with animals, not every company produces quality. The companies mentioned below are the only companies I currently source from.
Gut Health Guide and Essential Oil Protocol by Dr. Eric Zielinski
This protocol has really great information about leaky gut, stomach acid, diet and essential oil use for humans. Diffusing is mentioned a lot – careful this is not good around animals though where they cannot escape the smell, you could do damage to their systems as they would be forced to process “medicine” they do not need.
Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals by Kristen Leigh Bell
This book provides fabulous information about the oils. However, the author does not practise allowing the animals to SELECT the oils. This is very important to understand. All the recipes are not required as the animals will direct you how to use the oils on their terms, what oil and where on the body, as spelt out in Caroline Ingraham’s book above. Diet is always a crucial component too when focusing on healing.
The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Woodward
This is the encyclopedia of essential oils for humans. Fabulous information.

Simply Earth, USA
https://simplyearth.com/categories/essential-oils
I found this company while in Florida, 2023 December. The company’s single essential oils are testing well for the animals.
Again, it is best to use individual essential oils for the animals so they may choose their dose of the properties of the single essential oil. Even though the essential oil may be in a blend, the animal may choose not to process this as the properties of the other oils are not required.
Similar to humans, we like what we like via smell as this is what the body needs, the body is directing what is required. We do not wish to be exposed to anything which does not smell good to us. The animals are no different.
Please reach out. It would be an honour to help. If of an urgent nature, please call 604.896.1517 to discuss, thank you.
