Animals have always relied on plants for food and medicine. Yet in today's high-tech world most animals are unable to run freely, are bathed in toxic chemicals and are fed commercial foods containing artificial preservatives and hormones. The result is an increase in degenerative diseases, skin problems, allergies and cancer. Nourishing and wholesome food, clean water, sunshine, exercise and mineral-rich herbs are essential for restoring and maintaining animal health. Offering herbs to an animal is a way to help reconnect them with their natural environment.
We hand harvest several hundred pounds of fresh Calendula Flowers from Avena's garden each summer and thoughtfully lay them on screens in our drying room. Once dry, we infuse them into organic olive oil for two weeks, which creates this beautiful amber colored oil. Traditionally, Calendula Oil is used for minor cuts, skin irritations, diaper rash, herpes, shingles, and sore cracked nipples. It also lessens scarring of wounds and softens old scar tissue. This gentle oil is safe to use when nursing.*
Avena’s organic Biodynamic® gardens produce 70% of the herbs used in our products. We apply organic compost and Biodynamic® preparations to nourish the soil and hand harvest our herbs following seasonal cycles. Some herbs are respectfully wildcrafted or organically grown by others who share our philosophy of care and respect for our Mother Earth. After harvesting the herbs are infused in olive oil for two weeks to capture the vibrant colors & healing essences of our gardens.
