In order to understand how we can use equine aromatherapy to reduce stress in horses, we must first understand what stress is and how it manifests. Stress is not just a mental phenomenon that produces behavioural problems. It is a physical response to perceived danger, whether the harm is an immediate danger, such as a predator, change of home, or something that upsets the body's healthy balance, such as confinement or inappropriate food. The "stress response" is a physiological cascade, triggered by anything perceived as a threat - physical or emotional, real or imagined.

Essential oils work fast and have a wide range of actions, and can act as a sedative, nerve tonic, immune stimulant, relaxant and soother. Almost all essential oils reduce stress and increase immune responsiveness, working simultaneously on body mind and spirit.
