Re: [chrisong, colinchin] NATURAL REMEDY AGAINST TICKS & LICE etc

Hi,
Lanolin is a natural oil that is secreted by the skin of sheep. When sheep is shorn each year, the wool is processed & the Lanolin Oil extracted & refined. Lanolin is a very good natural moisturiser and very good for protecting coat & fur ... and human skin. Which is why Lanolin is often ingredient in moisturising creams & lotions etc. It is also good because it's the only "animal" oil that is obtainable without haveing to kill or disect an animal ...
But I am not familiar with Lanolin being used as an insect or parasite repellant.
What I like about the "mixture" (suggested earlier) is the combination used:
*** Apple Cider Vinegar is a good insect & parasite repellant, a soothing agent & a mild antiseptic, and it even helps prevent yeast infections. In fact, you can even mix Apple Cider Vinegar into your dog's diet or water, say every other day - and the that too will help the dog excrete oils that help repell parasites.
You can even use Apple Cider Vinegar (slightly diluted, soak with a pad of cotton wool) and use it to clean your dog's ears.
Good website on Apple Cider Vinegar - www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/acvfordogs.html
*** Citronella is a known effective insect & parasite repellant.
*** Eucalyptus is a very effective natural antiseptic.
*** Lavender - well, it smells great ~ and is used in aromatherapy as a soothing agent. Works for me ... * *
Cheers
