Essential Point Therapy

You may not have heard of this particular holistic modality before, but you are going to want to! 

Pet owners can learn this technique and perform it on their pet right from the comfort of their home. I'm a big advocate for empowering pet owners to take an active role in the health of their animals.

Have you ever had that helpless feeling in the pit of your stomach that can arise when a health concern develops with your pet and you feel that there's nothing you can do to assist them? You are anxious to get your animal into the vet's office for help. Now what if you had some tools in your tool box that you could safely use to assist your pet right away - at home? That would be pretty great huh?

Essential Point Therapy is such a tool! It combines the use of therapeutic essential oils and acupuncture to create a powerhouse therapy that anyone can learn.

Essential (essential oils) + Point (acupuncture point) = Therapeutic results!

With EPT you don't use needles at all. You might think that acupuncture is quite complicated....and it is. The points are in very specific locations on the body and it takes a lot of practice to be able to correctly pinpoint them.  But when using EPT it's not critical that you pinpoint each acupuncture point - you just need to get in the general area.

I have been using essential oils in a number of ways with my animals for many years. I have also used acupressure. It occurred to me at some point that I could use both of these modalities together for an enhanced result and I have. But because learning all the acupuncture points is pretty darn daunting, the ones I have used have been minimal.

Then I found out about a new course developed by Dr. Dennis Thomas, DVM on this very type of therapy! Super cool!

I can tell you that the course is chock full of valuable information that will help pet owners take charge of their animals' care. Dr. Thomas goes over the location of a bunch of different acupuncture points on video with a trusty demo dog (who's behavior is impeccable I might add!). I was able to gain the knowledge I needed to be able to use this therapy more frequently and in different situations. If I need to refresh my memory on where a certain point is, I just log in to the course and skip to the spot in the applicable video. Easy!

The course covers the most common type of ailments - the acupuncture points that will be beneficial, suggestions on what oils to use, along with other supplements. Plus there are a number of bonus video's on other holistic pet care topics that are included.

All in all I give this course 2 paws up! and Dennis is a down to earth, kind man with the knowledge and drive to help people support their pets holistically. As a pet owner its a nice feeling to have a supportive holistic vet cheering you on!

If you are looking for a modality you can use to help animals on your terms! I would encourage you to check out Essential Point Therapy!
