Hi Ioana and Kat,
I got my Oregon Grape fe online through Earth Spirits:

They distribute for several different companies, the Oregon Grape is
offered through Flower Essence Services (FES):

Australian Bush FE has a combination essence, (RR is a combination
essence), called Relationship, that might be more appropriate for normal
"fussyness" between family members:

The nice thing about fes is you can either apply them directly to the
inner tip of the ear, in between the pads of their feet, or add just a
few drops to the communal water bowl. There are no adverse reactions to
them as far as I've ever heard. Results seem to be very individual.
For instance, some of my animals react more favorably to Rescue Remedy,
whereas others do better with the Australian Bush combination essence
"Emergency".
I use fes with the feeling that they can't hurt, and just might help.
They aren't an instant fix kind of solution, so I never know if my
behavior modification attempts are what's working or a combination of
both. I figure what the heck.

Hi Ioana,

Oregon Grape (Mahonia nervosa) --
I have heard of some cases of aggression being helped by this. It is
useful for fears as a result of being paranoid or having some mistrust of
others. It may enable your animal to again begin to trust and feel more
comfortable with others. Releases the habit of valuing yourself
in relationship to others. Encourages knowing your true vital unique
nature. Looking outside to others, instead of valuing yourself for who you
uniquely are. Giving away your power to others. Codependence. This may
encourage the physical body to hold onto toxins that lead to liver,
gallbladder, skin or eyes diseases. For social paranoia, misunderstanding
of the behavior of others, the imagining or expectation of hostility from
others; promotes trust and the expectation of good will.
If you google it you should come up with quite a few sites.
I like Green Hope Farms, but they may not have this particular flower
essence, I haven't looked in a while.
