Essential Oil Therapy for Animals is the use
of essential oils and hydrosols
to promote optimal health and aid recovery from disease. The
therapy
combines traditional knowledge with modern scientific thinking,
offering a
natural choice for relief of many common physical and behavioural
problems
in animals such as allergies, arthritis, skin and hoof conditions,
hormonal
imbalances, respiratory infections, digestive disorders and
wounds. Learn
the basics of this wonderful therapy so that you can use it
at home on your
animals safely and effectively. This one-day workshop is aimed
at animal
owners and will explore commonly used essential oils, dilution
and
application and how to choose essential oils using kinesiology.
This is a
hands-on experience with live demos and a chance to select
oils for an
animal of your choice. The day provides a good overview for
those wishing to
take part in the diploma course in Essential Oil Therapy for
Animals,
commencing June 2006.
Stress - in depth
1 day Workshop
Date: Sunday 26th March 2006 Time: 9.30am -5pm
Venue: Horsehay Farm
Tutors: Nick Thompson MRCVS and Nayana Morag
Cost: Full members £60, associate members £65,

This workshop will look in detail at how stress affects bodily
systems and
psychological function. What is the cause of stress? Why do
things stress
some animals and not others? We will also examine our pre-conceptions
of
stress (e.g. Is it always bad?) and offer a close up look at
recognising
stress in animals, using live 'models' and photographic evidence.
Then we
will offer natural ways to relieve stress in domestic animals
particularly
the horse and dog.
