SE remedy based on essential oils by Jacqueline

For 500 ml:

• 350 ml Vaseline Intensive Care – Advanced Healing with vitamin E (this is just a carrier and can be replaced, try to use fragrance free and as pure a lotion as possible)
• tube Calendula baby crème (from Wedela – orange tube!)
• 3 mls (or 60 drops) of Lemon essential oil (from Aura Cacia – available at Whole Foods Market)
• 2.5 mls (or 50 drops) of Geranium essential oil (from Aura Cacia)
• 20 mls Tea tree oil (from Desert Essence – also available at Whole Foods Market)
• 150 mls of Baby oil

Shake well before use (I make it up in a sports water bottle because it’s easy to shake, mix and squeeze out).

Rub into skin of affected areas once or twice a day – can be used on all affected areas including swollen sheaths

Initially it seems to sting a bit but if you keep rubbing it in, the horses quickly relax and are visibly relieved.
