Sustainability Goals
One of our values at Lend-a-Hand is to leave the barn better than we found it. We believe that includes the products that we bring into it. Many typical cleaners include chemicals and ingredients that are toxic to living things and can do great harm to the earth at the same time through chemical leaching and plastic pollution. Our solution reflects a positive change that we hope to share with others through natural cleaning solutions and sustainability practices like looking to natures medicine cabinet, the use of reusable bottles, access to a reliable Kangen Water source, and sourcing our ingredients from reputable brands that support this same mission. The best part is that our products will actually bring in more potential for healing than they do poison and waste. Many of the oils we use each have a number of benefits that are advantageous to the body, including things like antioxidant density, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. There is lots to learn about the benefits that the use of essential oils can have on horses and we want to share it with you!
