honeybun Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My sister is very interested in trying this on her dog, but as she lives in the country has limited options of what is available right now.She can purchase calendula flower tea bags. Will this do the job?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I had a cup of calendula tea last nnight - it wasn't all that bad, but would not be my choice of tipple. I'll be trying it a few nights to try to get a better sleep. :laugh: :laugh: Don't know what yourself or Steve did, but I prefer to let the tea cool before I drink it. I don't mind it. It doesn't turn me on, but I don't find it distasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must be right now as an order came through for you. Will post it first thing Tuesday [public holiday tomorrow] Its a bit of a worry that some are selling it and its not the right stuff but that's the same with most herbs and essential oils.

Erny Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Gotta thank you, RiverStar-Aura. I've been banging on about the use of Calendula Tea for a few years on here now. Lol, even to the point where it was so predictable, I think people tuned out. And to the point where I posted a photo of a broken record when I mentioned Calendula Tea, lol. It's a wonderful "first step" to take and potentially avoid otherwise unnecessary drug/chemical use and I love it when people are able to do that, knowing they are using something that has no harmful side-effects (either short or long term) to their dogs. You've really brought it to the forefront with your thread and that's brilliant :D. It also helps that we now have our very own DOLer who produces and sells it, and who is very aware and knowledgeable of its great qualities and uses. Good on you, Steve :) . Thanks to your tip about feeding the tea 'slops' to our dogs, I'm now brewing a cup-a-day, and feeding the used tea to Mandela. So we both benefit and no waste!! Prior to that, I used to save it mainly only for Mandela's use. Edited January 27, 2014 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've hopped on the bandwagon and have just used some as a rinse on my pup, but plan to wash her feet in it after her walks as she gets itchy feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruffy n Flea Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've used calendula tea on numerous occasions but only when I 'thought' to use it following the use of numerous other products that are on the current market; I need to think 'calendula' more promptly... following each walk I rinse my dogs with tepid water to remove pollens etc followed by the occasional rinse using ego brand 'flare up' leave in bath oil [or water mixed with vinegar] and after a towel dry, they each get a coconut oil massage. this process obviously helps them stay smelling pleasant. I must work in to my morning routine the steeping of cal tea so it's at a reasonable temp when I return from our walk... Q1: would steeping say a fist-full of tea [2 dogs] in a small amount of boiling water then adding adequate tap water have the same or similar benefits? yes Q2: how often can one use such a rinse on their swf? as often as you like and Q3: can I follow [or do you think I can follow] a cal tea rinse with a coconut oil [an excellent carrier] massage? yes thanks so much for the advice :) thanks steve :) and my thanks to both erny and you for reinforcing cal tea benefits --- I just need to get a handle on remembering to prepare it ahead of time. being a tea drinker [and I don't necessarily mind cal tea], the other little bits and pieces of intel provided in this thread I can work into my human routine and that will provide a flow-on effect to the dogs.

Dame Aussie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Where does everyone get this? I have two itchy dogs I want to try it on but would prefer to not buy online. Would supermarkets have it? Health food shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I bought Hilde Hemmes brand Calendula Flower (calendula officinalis) from the healthfood shop. I assume it is okay as it says it contain 50g of the dried herb. If anyone knows if this is no good please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
