Young Living Essential Oils Featured on NBC's Today Show

July 12, 2008

Lehi, Utah—On the July 11 episode of NBC's Today show, Dr. Susan Wagner, an animal neurologist, along with animal behaviorist Dr. Terry Curtis promoted the use of Young Living essential oils.

During the Today's Pets segment, Dr. Wagner addressed the fear issues of several dogs including Bailey, a Labrador mix, who is afraid of water. Dr. Wagner suggested the use of lavender essential oil as a treatment option for Bailey's phobia, and explained that, "When we talk about essential oils, we're not talking about fragrances that you buy at a bath and beauty store—these are therapeutic—grade essential oils, and lavender is one of the most calming plants. So we can take a couple drops of oil and put it on a piece of clothing next to Bailey or even one drop and rub it between the hands and rub it down the back and it has an amazing calming effect."

When Today host Meredith Vieira asked if the lavender essential oil was enough to make Bailey not scared of water any more, Dr. Wagner, author of Through a Dog's Ear: Using Sound to Improve the Health and Behavior of Your Canine Companion, replied, "It will definitely help."
