Ticks and Fleas – Be Prepared
Ticks and Fleas – Be Prepared This Season!
Essential Oils can provide a natural repellent against ticks and fleas for your furry friends. There are many essential oils that can be used.
doTERRA has a wonderful blend called Terrashield that is a blend of Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Catnip, Lemon Eucalyptus, Litsea, Arborvitae, Nootka, and Vanilla Bean Absolute—all of which possess specific chemical compounds known to protect against environmental annoyances.
The addition of Tamanu oil provides added support and through doTERRA’s Co-Impact Sourcing®, the harvesting of Tamanu oil is positively affecting the livelihood of harvesters in Madagascar. Co-Impact sourcing is one of my favorite qualities of doTERRA! You can find out more about it here: doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing
