Fur chewing/nervous chin breakthrough

[Encantadora]

Well... it looks like it at least.

I just wanted to toss this out there. I've started experimenting with a fur-chewer and one nervous chin to see what I can do to help them feel more comfortable and relax.

They both get plenty of stimulation, so I started giving them a little bit of chammomile from an organic herb farm I visited. I know chammomile is great for relaxing people and aiding in sleep.

Within a few days, it really seems to be making a difference! I really believe they've become noticeably more mellow. They just get a few pieces.

Just a thought for others. Doesn't hurt to try.

hahaha........i just gave the fur chewer that i was petsitting chamomile and i said the same thing! i gave his mama a baggie of chamomile flowers and told her to give him one or two especially when travelling. i also use the organic ones.

A lot of the herbal supplements have chamomile flowers in them and I'm sure I've read of others who have noticed the same. I'm mostly curious about long term effects.

This is fantastic! I need to figure out somewhere to get a hold of this and see if it works on my baby.

Do you think pure chamomile tea would work the same? I was unable to find plain flowers but was able to find tea with chamomile listed as the only ingredient.

i got mine from:

www.mountainroseherbs.com

all organic.

Will tea work in the meantime?

tea tends to sit around for a while to dry the leaves adequately to brew.....the flowers are extememly fresh. i guess a small pinch maybe sprinkled on your chins hay wouldnt hurt but if you are going to try it make sure to monitor chin for next 24 hours.

i think Randy Chin sells the flowers and his shipping charges are very fair. look him up and send a PM. i am sure he will get the stuff out quickly.

the place i get them from, i always order other items to take advantage of the shipping. i buy rose petals and rosehips from them as well as some other herbs, so the shipping doesnt bother me as much.

I would think organic loose chammomile would be better. Sometimes organic food stores sell it.
