Simply Earth's May Box Has Gone to the Dogs... (and cats, and other pets too!)

Did you know that some essential oils can benefit pets as well? We use essential oils all the time here in my house, and we even use them on our 4-legged family members too. That's why I'm SUPER DUPER excited about the Simply Earth Essential Oils Box for May: Theme of the May box is "Pets" and the included oils are Peace and Quiet, Citronella, Juniper Berry and Ginger. 

Haven't heard of Simply Earth before? Y'all are missing out! Check out my posts HERE, HERE, and HERE for other reasons why I just love this subscription box. 

Each month you get all the ingredients, containers and extras you need to make 6 natural recipes yourself at home... delivered right to your doorstep. So, in May's box, you'll get ALL of the following: 

Citronella Essential Oil (Java): 

Everyone knows that Citronella Essential Oil has been used for years to repel insects, but did you also know that Citronella has been shown to reduce negative emotions and calm moods? 

Uses:

Calms
Reduces negative emotions
Controls mosquitoes, ants, and fleas

A domestic spice for thousands of years in the East, Ginger Root has also been used for its health benefits and is found recorded in Sanskrit, Chinese, ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic literature. Dried ginger was used for common problems but now the oil is notably recognized for its health benefits such as aiding in digestion, helping to relieve stomach discomforts, and alleviating joint and muscle aches.

Uses:

Warms
Aids digestion
Relieves queasy stomach and menstrual discomfort
Alleviates joint and muscle aches

Juniper Berry Essential Oil: 

Used for its medicinal and culinary purposes, Juniper Berry offers countless benefits including calming nervous tension, soothing sore muscles and joints, increasing focus, and supporting respiration.

Uses:

Calms nervous tension
Purifies the air
Relieves sore muscles and joints
Increases Focus
Energizes
Supports respiration

Peace & Quiet Essential Oil Blend: perfect for bringing a sense of peace and calm to your day. This synergy is uplifting while also relaxing.

Uses:

Calms
Relaxes

Ingredients: Sweet Orange, Frankincense, Cedarwood, & Lime

Aluminum Fine Mist Spray Bottles: These aluminium spray bottles will work well with any liquid. The nozzle fits the bottle perfectly, preventing leaks, and produces a great spray.

Lip Balm Container: Empty containers for your all-natural lip balm recipes

Container with Pop Lid: Store all your goodies in this air-tight container. It comes with a pop lid so you can easily open it and even bring it anywhere.

Pet Bandana: Use essential oils with your dogs. Both the red one and blue one are available!

...and the instructions to make all five of the following recipes: 

1) Pet Deodorizer Spray

2) Soothing Paw Balm

3) Itchy Skin Roll-On

4) Anti-Anxiety Diffuser Blend

5) Fur & Skin Conditioner 

A monthly Simply Earth box, with no long-term commitment, is only $39 a month. If you bought everything included in a box from the big essential oil companies, it would cost over $150. Simply Earth is able to keep prices low by selling directly to you and not taking crazy margins. They also keep quality pure by testing every oil for purity and actually visiting the farms their oils come from themselves. How cool is that? 

Please be advised though... there are some essential oils that you should NOT use on your pets! Do your research and be careful when using these or any other essential oils on your pets (or yourselves!) 

Have you ever tried any essential oils on/for your pets?
