What should I eat?
I get asked all the time what should I feed my pet? Well what do you eat? Do you eat healthy? Or do you eat premixed and prepacked foods? Feeding kibble is like eating hot dogs everyday, how healthy would we be? The time is now to eat as close to real foods as we can. That includes our animals also. Where do we start? Very simply, think about a nice green leafy salad, with a lot of variety of raw vegetables along with it. Most of us need a little protein with that maybe a chicken breast or turkey, some can enjoy a nice steak. Believe it or not our animals like variety as well. There are some nice blends of raw food diets out there for our them. You need to find a pet specialty store in your area and you will find these kinds of foods. There are also dehydrated blends that work nicely too adding in some protein for them.
What does this all have to do with essential oils, well in case you didn't know the oils I sell can be used in your favorite recipes. Instead of using a dried herb you can use an essential oil in its place. This way you know you are receiving the energy of the herb as well. The oil is not dehydrated like an herb is which causes it to loose its life force. The oil is the life blood of the plant, it is so much better to use the oil because it is extremely compatible with our chemistry.
When cooking with an essential oil you wait until your food is almost ready then taking a tooth pick dip into the orifice of the bottle and stir your food with the tooth pick. Believe it or not that is all you need when using Oregano, Sage, or thyme to name a few oils. If you add before you cook the food you will heat the oil too much and it will evaporate out. Lemon oil is a little different than the oils mentioned previously. I especially like to marinate a chicken breast or fish in lemon oil before cooking that works really nice and the lemon taste remains during cooking, giving your food a wonderful refreshing real lemon taste.
