Herbal Dip

You can make an herbal dip for your pet as follows:
2 cups packed fresh peppermint pennyroyal, and rosemary
1 quart boiling water; 4 quarts warm water -
- Prepare an infusion by pouring the boiling water
over the herbs and allow it to steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the liquid and dilute it with the warm water.
Saturate the animal's coat
thoroughly with the solution, allowing it to air dry.
Use at the first sign of flea activity.
This remedy will need to be repeated every
three to four days, but it is totally safe.

If the itching persists, and fleas or poor diet are not the culprit,
use a mixture of Licorice Root, Dandelion Root and Cat's Claw
in equal drops of each tincture for two weeks.
Licorice is a natural cortisone, and will help to jumpstart
the immune system.

To get rid of fleas in your carpet, after removing pets from the room,
sprinkle Borax over the carpet and rub it in.
Wait a while, then vacuum as usual.
This is a safe, non-chemical method of flea control.
Reapply the Borax once a week until the problem is gone.
