𝐼𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝒟𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑒 𝒯𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑔.
🐾When my boy, Abel, came into our lives it was truly like divine timing.
He still had tender, pink cuts, and patches of missing fur from being used and abused. His paws ached him to walk on. He had scars that looked like they were healed over, alongside fresh wounds that would follow the same path.
His nose was scabbed and scuffed, his ear had been torn from the inside and was bristling with infection.
But guess what? His eyes were bright, his heart was forgiving, and his soul was pure.
I wish I had known, herbally and medicinally, then as I do now, to help him heal.🌿
But I had that chance, in Divine Timing, when earlier this month he was attacked - unprovoked - by an off-leash dog while we were outside together.
I didn’t hesitate to put myself in the middle, and somehow in the midst of our scuffle, he ended up with a bloody, raw paw.
Thankful that it wasn’t any worse, but still dedicated to keep my promise - I whipped up a healing infusion with what I had on hand.
🌼We just went over Calendula recently, and if you remember, it is an incredible healer of wounds thanks to its Vulnerary actions. It is also incredibly soothing and rejuvenating for healing the skin.
Even better? Completely dog safe, and in fact, good for them - internally and externally! (So I didn’t have to helicopter-mom him to make sure he wasn’t licking it off!)
It was incredibly easy to whip up, but if you have the ingredients on hand, a balm or salve is even better!
I soaked his paw for around 2-5 minutes twice a day, and within only two days he was completely healed!
A beautiful reminder of the Magic in the Medicine, and the Medicine in the Magic! 💛🐶🐾
And of course a reminder that my healing will always transcend more than just humans, and yours can too!
In case you missed it, be sure to scroll back a couple posts and check out the one on Calendula, our Golden Healer. I absolutely recommend having some on hand for your home apothecary!
