[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 689143, member: 1963"] IC, you are doing it right. ' I do want to remind folks that many scents produced by plants are toxins designed to prevent them being eaten, repel things that might eat them, and in some cases, attract pollinators, Lavender and ti tree oil are two examples of plant toxins. Lavender smells nice to humans and the French use it in cookery (blech) Ti tree oil is toxic and smells it. It should not be taken internally, ever, and should not be used on pets, as even if it doesn't burn their skin, there is a risk of them ingesting it. I use ti tree oil diluted in food grade oil on my scalp. I have a sort of dandruff that is fungal in origin. I've had it since I was a kid. I've tried all sorts of RX antifungals both topical and oral, to get rid of it, and nothing works. Using the ti-tree oil 2x a month as a conditioner, keeps the itchiness down and the flakes at bay. I do have to be sure to shampoo and thoroughly rinse to get any traces of the oil out of my hair (I leave on for an hour) because Squeaky just loves to lick the back of my head when my hair is wet, and I don't want her to poison herself.
