Topical Flower Essence Fly Repellent



    While working in a friend's thoroughbred facility we often incorporated flower essence remedies in the compresses, poultices and cleansing tonics that we used.  One helpful tip that I would like to share is the rinse tonic that helped to repel flies and bites from other such insects.  It was generously applied by clean sponge after brushing (especially after a bath) and allowed to air dry on the horse.

3 liters (approx. 3/4 gal) water
1 litre (approx 1/4 gal)  apple cider vinegar
6 drops Crab Apple flower essence
6 drops Centaury flower essence
