Makes 1 treatment

Cats can be sensitive to toxic commercial flea powders. So try this mixture on a small patch of skin on the cat’s stomach and wait for a day to see if there is a reaction. You must also wash the cat’s bedding and vacuum the house thoroughly to get rid of flea eggs.

Ingredients for flea treatment

6 drops lavender essential oil
3 teaspoons mineral oil, or baby oil

Preparation method for flea treatment

1 Drop the lavender essential oil and the mineral or baby oil into a small bottle and shake to combine.

2 Warm oil by holding the bottle in your hands for a few minutes.

3 Massage the warm oil into the neck area and the base of the tail where fleas congregate, then all parts of the cat, being careful to avoid contact with the cat’s ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Repeat treatment when the scent is no longer detectable.
