Thuja isn’t just a post-vaccine remedy... it’s a deep energetic cleanser.

Yes, it’s commonly used after vaccines—but there’s so much more.

🌀 Dogs who’ve changed after trauma, vet visits, or medical procedures…
💢 Dogs with warts, skin tags, or odd little growths…
🐾 Dogs who “just don’t feel like themselves” anymore…

These are often signs of an energetic imbalance—and Thuja might be the gentle nudge the body needs to reset.

In homeopathy, Thuja is associated with the sycotic miasm—think stuck energy, lingering toxins, suppressed expression. It’s not about the symptom… it’s about the shift.

✨ I use it often when dogs seem emotionally “off” or physically burdened. It may be the reset their system is asking for.

Curious how this could help your dog?

Juniper essential oil has long been a favorite in my wellness toolkit—especially for senior dogs and those with kidney concerns. 💧 (Ok I confess they are all my favorites)

I used it with Howie, who was given a age 12 was suggested that his kidney levels were elevated … he lived a joyful life to 20+. That wasn’t by accident. It was part of a very strategic senior dog protocol.

Juniper supports the body’s natural detoxification processes and helps maintain healthy urinary function—especially important as dogs age. I recommend it often in my kidney support plans.

Wondering if Juniper could be right for your dog? I’d love to help.

Phosphorus 💧—it’s more than just a GI remedy.

I keep this on hand not only for tummy trouble, but also for post-surgery healing and sensitive, tender souls.

✨ Post-op? It supports bleeding, tissue shock, and emotional drain.
✨ Stomach upset? Classic choice for vomiting + burning.
✨ Sensitive dog? Think: loud noises, separation stress, overstimulation...

Your dog’s healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, too.
Let’s support both. 🌿

🌀 I offer consultations for custom homeopathy & emotional trauma recovery.

When my kennel building was full of new arrivals or nighttime stress, I often chose a calming blend of Valerian + Cedarwood to restore peace.

Valerian is a powerful nervine—supporting the nervous system and helping dogs (and humans!) find their center. 💜 I’ve used it for dogs experiencing separation anxiety, nervous pacing, and over-arousal at night.

It's not flashy... but it works.

✔️ A go-to in my calming protocols
✔️ Ideal for rotation use with dogs needing long-term support
✔️ Often self-selected by dogs in stress

💧 Silicea — for what’s “stuck” 💧

Whether it’s a literal splinter under the skin or an energetic block after vaccination, Silicea is trusted homeopathic remedy for dogs.

Helps the body expel foreign matter

Gently encourages drainage and detox

Supports balance of the energetic field

Often used in vaccine detox protocols

I use it when something just won’t budge—emotionally, physically, or energetically.

It’s not dramatic. It’s not flashy. But it works.

🌿 And yes—there’s a plant with similar properties: Horsetail (Equisetum arvense), also rich in silica and helpful for detox and tissue support.

Bergamot: A Citrus Oil for Emotional Clarity and Skin Health in Dogs

There’s something so cheerful about citrus oils—but Bergamot stands out as both emotionally uplifting and physically supportive.

I love it before emotionally heavy tasks or days where I need extra clarity… and it’s the same for the dogs I support.

When a dog is withdrawn, energetically flat, or simply not themselves, Bergamot brings a lightness that helps shift their emotional state gently.

I’ve also used it as part of skin protocols—especially when we’re dealing with oily, inflamed, or irritated skin.

Bergamot supports emotional resilience and is ideal for withdrawn or nervous dogs.

Its antimicrobial properties make it useful for irritated or imbalanced skin.

It can be used via diffusion or diluted topical application (never neat!) for emotional and physical support.

One of my favorite products these days is "Happy-Lytes" from Beam Minerals as a little spritz of happiness before difficult tasks. And a little spritz on the pups too.

Homeopathy Highlight: Aconite for Dogs with Trauma

Many people think of Aconite for sudden fear, panic attacks, or anxiety episodes.
And they’re right—it shines in those moments.

But there’s a deeper layer where this remedy works beautifully…

🌀 Trauma that’s buried.
The kind that doesn’t show up on a physical exam.
The kind where your dog still flinches or hides from something you’ve never seen them harmed by.

Whether it’s a rescue dog with a rough start—or a pup who had a frightening event years ago—Aconite may help them release the fear that’s holding them back.

I use this remedy frequently in:
• Behavior modification plans
• Emotional detox protocols
• Dogs who seem “stuck” in fear, despite training or calming supplements

Aconite works on an energetic level, gently helping the body shift out of its panic response and back into safety.

Swipe left on toxins 🍊✨

I use Grapefruit essential oil in citrus detox rotations for myself AND my senior dogs.

It’s:
🌿 Gentle
🌀 Uplifting
🧡 Supports healthy liver + lymph drainage

I’ve seen seniors respond beautifully when rotated with Lemon, Orange, and Lime… they perk up physically and emotionally.

Love products we can share!

Good Morning! Harvey got a good report at the vet this week and with great labs a new plan to wean off of Pheno with chinese herbs.

Detox work is still underway and has intensified a little the last week he looks better/brighter, feels better and is playing (a little). Im not sure he knows how! But boy can he eat!

We went on a road trip this week and he made new people and doggie friends and was awesome!

I have access to some amazing homeopathic products now and can’t wait to tell tou about them (folks in my forum are already learning about them!)
