Luckily, nature in its wisdom has the answer. Many herbs are used in traditional medicine worldwide to help balance and support the animal body after trauma or when conventional medications have taken their toll on the body. Many natural products have been formulated with this in mind, to gently help restore health and help get things back on track. This can be a great accompaniment to conventional flea treatments. As most flea lesions occur on the neck and lumbar region for cats, and the lumbar, abdominal area, flanks and thighs for dogs, these areas can be sprayed with a natural mite spray that contains soothing herbal ingredients to help with healing and regeneration of healthy skin. Gentle creams specifically for pets, can be applied to the actual flea bites, and provide great relief, fast and effectively.
These are both great examples of how natural products can be a handy counter-action against harsh conventional drugs.
Another very important thing is that the skin is your pet’s largest organ! When it’s irritated or in distress it needs to be treated. A general skin tonic can work wonders, giving vitality and health from within – adding shine to dull coats ravaged by fleas (or stripped from excessive biting and scratching). This can also greatly help fur to grow back healthily and quickly.
For pets with extra sensitive skin, a hypoallergenic shampoo is best! Natural shampoos can help nourish the skin without stripping it of essential oils. These shampoos also can contain herbs that in nature repel insects naturally!

The most important thing when dealing with an allergic skin reaction in your animal is to eradicate the source of the problem. Fleas in particular can set up an awful cycle: the more your pet scratches, the more they itch! So the key is to address the root cause: and get rid of the fleas!
