Throughout her 4-month "clear/cleanse/build" protocol, which enabled her body to heal itself from cancer, I gave Buttons many different
Bach Flower Remedies. They work by clearing trauma from the energetic/emotional body. They produced clear, dramatic improvements in her behavior and well-being.
When we lived in more urban areas, I always gave her the Bach Flower Remedy,
Rescue Remedy to avoid
fireworks fear/trauma. Beginning a few days before the 4th, I'd put about 15 drops daily added to her water bowl.
Starting the morning of the 4th, I'd put a
water-diluted dropperfull directly into her mouth every few hours.
I always used the "human" liquid version - the one in alcohol, not glycerin. (NEVER use the pastilles as they contain xylitol- great for humans/deadly for pets.)
Once I started doing this, instead of being skittish, whining, or hiding under the bed, she was always "chill" every 4th of July, which of course made it better for all of us who loved her.
