We Phoenix humans were all abuzz on Facebook this morning about the big monsoon show we got last night, complete with loud rumbling thunder, fireworks-like lightning, and a huge downpour of the wet stuff. It entertained us, flooded streets, and gave much needed water to the thirsty vegetation.
As joyful as WE all were, I am pretty sure there were many animals in the Valley who were NOT so thrilled. Does your dog or cat shake or run under the bed in fear? Do they cower in the corner? Do they howl or bark every time lightning strikes and the thunder rolls? Then the Bach flower essence MIMULUS is for your furson!
Many of you may already be aware of Bach Rescue Remedy (read about it and two other flower essences at the links below), and you may already use it in times of stress for yourself and your fur kids.
The single Bach essences, Mimulus, is for fears that are “known.” Thunder and lightning, a visit from a stranger, a crackling fireplace, a visit to the vet, or just a generally shy and timid animal will find calm and courage in the face of anxiety and fear from the Bach essence Mimulus.
There are two ways to get Mimulus into your fursons system. You can put a couple of drops directly onto their tongue, or you can rub a few drops into their ears or pads; any way to get the liquid into their system. And the beauty of any of the Bach essences is that it can be administered again and again until the fear has subsided. Since it’s not a pharmaceutical, it is completely safe and has no known side affects! For ongoing treatment, or in preparation for an impending storm, visiting royalty, or vet visit, simply put a few drops in their water bowl several times a day. If the fearful one shares the watering hole with other siblings, not to worry…it won’t affect the emotions of those who don’t need it!
To make the Mimulus essence stretch farther, buy a treatment bottle; add two drops, and then fill it with purified water. Each time you administer the Mimulus mixture you will use four drops. It’s not about volume with Bach flower remedies…it’s all about the essence…a little goes a long way!
You can purchase Mimulus, Rescue Remedy, and any of the other 37 Bach flower essences at Sunflower Farmers Markets, Sprouts, Whole Foods, or any other health food store in your area.
