We currently have 7 oil products which are a mixure of macadamia and essential oils. Please note that the muscle massage oil is no longer macadamia based, scroll down to find out more about its new oils base.
I make the oils myself so you can be assured that we both know exactly what goes into them and why.
Macadamia oil is used for the base due to its excellent qualities. It is a gentle oil that can be used on any skin type and is often used for healing skin conditions including burns and wounds, so you can rest assured it is safe to use on your horses and other animals. It has a slight sunscreen action so it isn’t going to cause the oil to burn the skin in the sun. Although it is a nut-based oil, it rarely gives reaction to allergy sufferers, but advise should be seeked before those that suffer allergies to nuts use this product. Lastly, macadamia oil is excellent as a carrier oil for essential oils as it absorbs quickly, helping the essential oils to penetrate the skin quickly.

Calming oil
Calming Oil may assist in calming a nervous, anxious, scared or high spirited horse.
All you need to do is rub a few drops on your hands and rub them around the horses nose and/or neck. The effects should take place within 15 minutes. To increase the effect, you can rub a few more drops at a maximum of 3 times in 10 minute intervals. You may also allow your horse to inhale the oil from the bottle for extra affect. If possible, have your horse in a quiet, serene environment for the first 5-15mins to allow the oil to have its full strength. If this is not possible, the oil should still work, but it will be more effective if the right environment can be accomplished.
The effects of the oil will help to settle the horse down, calm and relax him/her. The oil can be used on horses of all ages.
Apart from your horse, the oil can also be used on dogs or any other animal (excluding cats) that would benefit from relaxation.

Horses absolutely, truly and deeply LOVE this oil. From the feedback we've had and using it on our own horses it is definitely the blue ribbon winner in the eyes of our equine friends.

Wart removal oil
Wart removal oil is as the name suggests, a product to get rid of or at least reduce the size of unsightly warts. Warts generally cause no harm but they aren’t the most attractive things and we always want our horses to look their best. A wart free horse is definitely more attractive!
All you need to do is rub a few drops of the oil on the warts 1-2 times a day, and if possible, put a small bandage over the wart(s). If the warts are around the eyes extra care must be taken but if the wart itself is very close to the eye and applying the oil will cause some of the product to get into the eye then this oil should NOT be used as it will (like all of our products) irritate the eyes.
Over time, the oil should cause the warts to disappear or at the very least noticeably decrease the size of the wart(s)
Ingredients:
Lavender – Fantastic for skin conditions of any kind, this miracle oil will assist in wart removal
Tea tree – This wonderful antiseptic oil is the best thing for wart reduction and removal
Lemon – This citric oil helps to remove dead skin cells and heals the skin.
Patchouli – Another great oil for the skin helping to treat skin disorders and tissue re-generation
The wart removal oil is easy to use, it smells great and it’s affordable, so give it a go and remove those ugly warts today!
