Health And Safety/Essential Oils

Post by Joycew »

I use essential oils for many things- mostly Migraines so I apply those to my neck and temples, it is a mixture of Lavender and peppermint oil mostly. I also have a diffuser that I use to diffuse oils throughout my home- does anyone know if they are safe for birds? :?:

"Birds should never be exposed to oils, whether topically or in the air due to their extreme sensitivity. Hydrosols can be used, but in very minute amounts, much like in homeopathic remedies."

I was given this link at another site I am on.. thought those of you that are interested would ant to read; great info for all of our pets not just for our feathered friends.
