skwo2 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I read about natural therapy, in there it suggests to bath our dogs with rolled oats soaked with water and a few drops of lavendar oil. Can I just add evening primrose oil into the bath water? or there is more cautions when using evening primrose oil? I am planning to get the evening primrose oil in the health shop for human consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwo2 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Just wondering, evening primrose oil is not an essential oil like lavendar oil? Cos I know for some essential oils, it can have negative effects and harmful if used too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would definitely put very little / very diluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
