Let me start by saying "I don't know." There. Now I can visit about it.
If they were my dogs I'd simmer the stuff all weekend.....because my
electricity is near-free weekends and a place I've bought stuff from,
Limited Edition Herbals (not selling, just telling
.limitededitionherbs.com/) has a warm room where they hold their herbs
and water at a specific low heat for a week or so. Varies with what
they're working with. If it's important, call them; I bet they'll tell you.
And yes, I would add a bit of DMSO for topical or internal use.
I haven't worked with chaparral; are it's properties most effective
internally or externally? Might make a difference in how you prepare it.
I guess my instinct is that if you're going to rinse the animal in it,
you want a large quantity and water will be the most cost effective
ministrum. If you're giving it internally, you want the extraction
method that brings out the anti fungal/parasitic elements.
I would, however, first try Borax because I've seen it do wonders for
the invisibiters on dogs that have left them hairless and oozing in
places due to the itch. Treatment has been to wash the dog, rinse, and
final rinse is of a borax solution. Borax crystals get sprinkled in the
places the dog frequents to lie down. Ensuing treatments include fairly
frequent dusting of the dog with borax crystals/powder.
Diatomaceous earth may also work to kill the mites if there are any. It
should be used internally and externally. It is my understanding that DE
has no chemical action per say but it's sharp edges kill things and the
electrostatic charge likely attracts things. You know: "things." lol.
I'd at least use the DE in the yard in their favorite nap spots.
Doug, a horse guy on the DMSO, list has tons of experience in making
tinctures with DMSO and treating animals. Might be a good consult.

Two of my dogs are itching, apparently from a fungal infection. After
trying all sorts of things, I thought of giving them an external
treatment of chaparral (for its anti-fungal and anti-viral properties)
with a bit of DMSO (to drive the chaparral into the skin).
The dogs are raw fed, mostly grass-fed or organic meats, with raw
meaty bones. They also get kelp, salmon oil, Transfer Factor,
digestive enzymes, and colloidal silver. I will run rife frequencies
for ringworm once I get my plasma light tube device next week. But I
need to do more for these dogs, since they’re rescued and therefore
have weak immune systems.
Chaparral grows wild where I live, so I’ve been collecting it. Now
it’s time to prepare it. But I’m not sure whether it’s better to
prepare a tincture, or to simply simmer it in water (how hot, and for
how long?) so I can soak the dogs in a tub.
I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks in advance.
