What People Are Saying About
The Aromatherapy Guide for Pets
These are actual quotes from our customers!

"With the brutal heat and humidity the area we live in has its share of 'pests'.

One customer, a beautician, found her yard to be infested with fleas- and asked me if we had anything for them that would not be hazardous to her health or her children.

I found this recipe in Jennifer's book- she asked me to mix it up for her in a full bottle of Nature's Fresh- there fore I multiplied the drops by 4. She sprayed her yard and has not seen a flea since.

She has since sprayed her kitchen and bathrooms and has found many dead critters- Also, since she is a beautician she has told many of her clients about this non poisonous spray that works immediately.

I am continuously mixing this spray for many new customers that have found me all due to my original customer's flea problem. Thanks Jennifer for this recipe! Thanks Laura for carrying such a great book!
