Healing Methods

This section contains 4 articles on healing methods for your cats - one each on flower essences and herbs, and two on homeopathy with 3 on what not to do - vaccinations, use of essential oils (a big no-no), and other stuff bad for cats.

Last but not least is Boo Boo's story which highlights the power of love and gentle healing methods.
Flower essences/remedies
Written by Sandy "booeymom"   

Flower essences are quite different from both hydrosols and herbal extracts. Flower essences are prepared by infusing flower petals at the peak of their bloom in spring water.

Aromatherapy and Your Cat
Written by Kristen Leigh Bell, Certified Aromatherapist   
Aromatherapy? No, we're not talking about lighting candles and simmering potpourri for your kitty! Classically, aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils. Essential oils are extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds and bark of many different plants, and while their most obvious property is that they are aromatic, it is these "oils" which act as the plant's immune system- fighting off bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds, and other insects.
