Massage

 

An art of living and well-being for pet animals and their companions

Massage allows a holistic (1) approach to the animal. Its positive influence on the physical and psychological well-being brings about a balance between yin and yang (2). The contact reduces stress, and relaxes the nervous system. We soothe the dog and show it our affection. The mechanical effect on the skin stimulates the blood circulation, improves the supply of oxygen and of nutritious substances, and facilitates the elimination of toxins and metabolic waste products.

 

Conclusion

Massage, which is ideal for a nervous, aged or recovering dog, gives the animal strength and vitality when it is tired, and restores and maintains a natural and harmonious balance.

 

Massage and etheric oils

The theory of yin and yang makes it possible to establish the predominant effect of each etheric oil on the organism. An energy essence with a yin dominance will have a calming and refreshing effect. An energy essence with a yang dominance will have a stimulating and antiseptic effect.

In reality, each oil has yin and yang qualities all in one, and its effect depends on the circumstances of the application.

The treatment will be adjusted according to the reactions of your animal.

Although they are opposing forces, the one cannot exist without the other. They keep one another in balance in order to maintain unity and harmony.

Bach flowers

The advantage of flower elixirs is that they are not toxic, and that even too high a dose is completely harmless.

A flower elixir is only effective when it is in resonance with the living being that needs it.

Flower elixirs are useful in case of excessive behaviour or of apathy. They may be used by all living beings, master and dog, rider and horse...

As spring is the first energy season of the year, it is the ideal time for a “general purification” of the organism in order to maintain an internal equilibrium during the following months.
