Meanwhile, let’s move on to the next round of essential oils that give your pup’s immune system a proper boost.
A Rose By Any Other Name…
Rose oil not only smells sweet, but also provides a number of benefits for your dog’s health and immune system. By sedating inflammation, rose oil can aid your furry friend when it comes down with a fever. You can also use rose oil to disinfect fresh wounds because of its antiseptic properties. These antiseptic properties, combined with antibacterial effects, help fight off harmful bacteria. This helps your pup stave off infection.
Also, rose oil provides toxin-eliminating properties that help to purify your pup’s blood. According to aromatherapy studies, rose oil reduces your pup’s risk of developing rashes, ulcers, and skin diseases. Fantastic!
Safflower (Say That Ten Times Fast)
Safflower is a plant that is indigenous to Southern China, but cultivated around the world. Safflower oil derived from the safflower plant offers great health and immune system benefits for your dog. The omega-6 fatty acids, talked about in this article, that are found in safflower oil help manage your pup’s blood sugar levels. If your pup suffers from diabetes, safflower oil is a great supplement to use in conjunction with diabetes medication. Safflower oil’s effectiveness in helping treat your pup’s diabetes is a benefit to your pup’s immune system because diabetes can weaken immune systems, leaving your pup at a greater risk for infection. Luckily, safflower oil also boasts antibacterial properties that can aid your furry friend’s immune system when it fights off nasty infections
A Rosemary By Any Other Name
Am I getting lazy or have I already used that line? Nevertheless, rosemary oil is an essential oil that also greatly benefits your dog’s immune system. The main immune system benefit of rosemary oil is its antioxidant effects. Antioxidants are one of our body’s best defenses against infection and disease, especially cancer. Another benefit of rosemary oil is its stress reducing effects. In case you didn’t know, stress can have dangerous effects on an immune system. If your pup suffers from stress and anxiety, then its immune system is at risk of diminishing, over time. Using rosemary oil on your pup offers powerful aromatherapeutic benefits that can reduce stress and anxiety; thus bolstering your pup’s immune system.
