❄️ Q: Why do urinary issues seem worse in winter?

🌿 A: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is governed by the Water Element, which directly influences kidney and bladder health.

The colder months can lead to:
❄️ Reduced circulation
💧 Decreased water consumption
🟡 More concentrated urine
🐾 Slower metabolism

💡 Stay mindful of your fluff's urinary health during the winter season—ensure hydration, warmth, and regular gentle exercise to support their wellness!

Winter is a critical time to give kidneys some extra TLC because, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s the season of the Water Element, which governs flow, renewal, and restoration. During this time animals naturally conserve energy, making it the perfect time to support Kidney Qi—a foundation for overall health. Just like trees draw energy inward during winter, our fluffs thrive when given ample rest and time to recharge, aligning with nature’s rhythms.

Take inspiration from Bonnie, curled up under the duvet, fully embracing the season of restoration. 🐾💤

💡 My Top Tips for Supporting the Kidneys
1. Serve water at room temperature.
2. Create warm, comfy spaces for rest.
3. Opt for gentle, consistent exercise.
4. Add kidney-supportive foods to their diet.

❄️ Did you know? ❄️

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter corresponds to the Water Element. 🌊

The kidneys and bladder, governed by the Water Element, are considered essential for regulating warmth, energy levels, and balance in animals during colder months. Supporting these organs through proper care, diet, and natural remedies can help prevent stiffness, fatigue, and other winter-related health challenges.

🌿 Did You Know? 🌿

Did you know that essential oils can not only impact humans but also animals? 🐶🐱 Essential oils interact with the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls emotions and memories, and they can do the same for our pets! 🧠💧

This is the science of zoopharmacognosy – how animals instinctively seek out natural remedies, including essential oils, to balance their emotions and well-being. 🌸🐾

Signs Your Pet's Microbiome Needs Help!

Is your furry friend experiencing digestive or health issues?

Their microbiome could be out of balance!

Here are 7 signs your dog or cat might need extra support from prebiotics and probiotics:

1️⃣ Digestive Problems: vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation can signal an imbalanced gut.�
2️⃣ Gas & Bloating: excessive flatulence or bloating might indicate gut distress.
�3️⃣ Skin & Allergy Issues: chronic itching or red, irritated skin could be linked to gut health.�
4️⃣ Ear Infections: recurring ear infections often point to yeast imbalances.�
5️⃣ Post-Antibiotics: antibiotics can disrupt gut flora; probiotics help restore balance.
�6️⃣ Stress Digestive Upsets: stressful events causing digestive discomfort? Probiotics can help.
�7️⃣ Frequent Illness & Low Energy: a weakened immune system might need a gut health boost.

True healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It's about addressing the root cause, not just masking the symptoms.

Have you ever tried a natural remedy, like applying calendula cream to your dog’s itchy skin, only to find it didn’t “work”?

It’s a frustrating experience, leading many to dismiss holistic approaches altogether and revert to conventional treatments like topical or oral steroids.

But here’s the truth: natural wellness practices are not about quick fixes—it’s about getting to the heart of the matter and rebalancing the whole system.

In the Animal PsychAromatica system, we recognise that symptoms—like itchy skin—as information, not the problem itself. That itch might stem from stress, a poor diet, or an underlying imbalance in the body. Simply soothing the skin without addressing those deeper causes is like sticking duct tape on a broken pipe. The leak will keep coming back, often worse than before.

When we address the whole animal—their physical, emotional, and energetic needs—we enable the body’s natural ability to heal. This empowers you to support your animal’s long-term health, not just chase symptoms, which can be frustrating, upsetting, expensive and unproductive.

Let’s shift the narrative, holistic modalities work when we honour their purpose—to support the whole being, not just the symptom.

What’s your experience with holistic care? Let’s start a conversation about what true wellness looks like.

🪻 What is an Essential Oil? 🪻

They are concentrated hydrophobic liquids containing volatile chemical compounds from plants. These aromatic compounds are part of my holistic tool kit as part of self-selection for animals.

Essential oils come from flowers, leaves, bark, and roots, offering the plant's natural healing properties in a potent form.

Animals have an incredible sense of smell and can intuitively choose the oils they need. t’s a gentle, non-invasive way to support emotional balance, relaxation, and physical well-being.

💡 Note: Always use oils under the guidance of a knowledgeable practitioner. Animals are more sensitive than humans, so proper dilution and safe practices are key!

On November 14th, Bonnie, my spirited 6-year-old Saluki mix, took a hard fall while playing with her friend. Although adrenaline masked her injuries at first, she soon showed signs of distress—coughing, retching, and licking a large wound near her right hind leg. 🐕💔

Here’s how I supported her recovery with a tailored, holistic approach:
✨ Wound Care - cleaned with aloe vera spray.
✨ Aromatics - Bonnie intuitively selected Wintergreen, Comfrey, Manuka, and Lavender oils to ease pain, reduce inflammation, and support healing.
✨ Topical Ointment - custom-made with Shea Butter, Comfrey, and her selected essential oils to soothe and repair tissue.
✨ Nutrition Boost - Lamb/goat bone broth for collagen support.

Over the next few weeks, Bonnie's interest in different remedies shifted as her body healed—a testament to the power of self-selection in animals. 💜 Her energy returned, her wound healed beautifully, and her scar tissue is fading with continued care.

💡 Takeaway: Trust your dog’s instincts! Combining natural remedies, patience, and observation can do wonders for recovery. 🌟
