Adding herbs to your dog’s diet can have a significant impact on the health and well being of your fur baby.
Herbal remedies are a valuable tool in both preventing and treating issues that are prominent in many of our pets today. Our canine friends have inherited instincts from their ancestors that used to forage through herbs and plants to assist in healing wounds, digestive upsets, illness or pain and even source the vitamins and minerals that were needed in their diet. Have you ever seen your pet go to your own culinary herb garden and eat some of the herbs there? Have a think about what herb they may have chosen and relate that to a possible condition they may have or a lack of vitamins or minerals they may be deficient in. Animals will instinctively self-medicate.
You can administer herbs in various ways orally or topically to our pets. They can be fresh, dried, in tincture form, herbal teas, powders, capsules, oils, ointments and balms.
Tinctures are the strongest and fastest way of orally administering herbal remedies and should always be prescribed by an animal herbalist or naturopath so they are used in the right and correct way.
Herbs have so many significant benefits for our pets and can treat so many different conditions such as:
Lets Get Started!
Growing your own herbs for your pets is a great idea for general well being and you can add these to your pet’s meal for added benefits. It is so easy to do and if you can’t plant your pet herb garden outside, then inside on a window sill or sunny spot will be just as good.
When Planning a Pet Herb Garden Follow These Points:
Safe Herbs For You To Plant:
Parsley: This herb is very good for arthritis and inflammation, bad breath and upset tummies. It can also aid in urinary tract infections, supports the kidneys and helps rid toxins from the body
Basil: Basil has antioxidants, antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help prevent cellular damage and can help calm your pooch.
Oregano: is high in antioxidants and flavonoids and is reported as an antimicrobial. It can be used to help with digestive problems, diarrhea, and gas.
Wheatgrass: This herb is cleansing, can aid in digestion, constipation, breath and body odour and is an energy booster.
Lemon Balm: This is a great herb for the older dogs too as it helps with memory, the nervous system, reduces anxiety and helps neutralise gas in the stomach.
Sage: Sage is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It eases digestive issues and assists in skin conditions.
Chop these fresh herbs finely and sprinkle over your dog’s meal – remember only use in moderation. You can also add some herbs to cookies or your bone broth when making them! See our recipes below for these yummy treats!
These herbs can also be used for your own cooking so the whole family can be nice and healthy! Enjoy making your pet herb garden and see the benefits of how herbs can obtain optimal health for your fur baby.

What is Photonic Therapy?
Photonic Therapy is a scientifically advanced form of acupuncture using light, instead of needles, to stimulate recognised acupuncture points. It offers a safe, painless & effective treatment method, which promotes healing and largely eliminates the need to suffer pain. It is very effective for humans, horses, dogs and cats.
The energy of light (photons) is transformed into electrical energy by the connective tissue under the skin. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain by the nerves. Acupuncture points are known to be areas in the skin of increased electrical conductivity, the stimulation of which can change a body function. By stimulating these certain skin areas, we can change the perception or messages the brain is receiving. This causes the brain to release certain chemicals, pain killers and anti-inflammatories, which activate the body's healing processes.
Photonic is applied to any form of imbalance or stress in the body and when applied correctly can help attain optimal health and general well-being. It can treat illnesses, injuries and is wonderful for post-surgery as it increases the speed of healing, reduces pain and can prevent arthritis from forming.
Photonic can have an effect on a number of conditions within the body. It can help maintain normal body processes and cellular turnover to stay healthy with regular use. Using Photonic can help calm nerves and decrease pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow to the nerves so they can heal.
By using Photonic this will increase blood flow to any given area of injury or imbalance and the body can heal itself.
Not many dogs enjoy needles. Photonic Therapy is an advanced form of traditional complementary medicine using red light to stimulate recognised acupuncture points along the body. Rather than stimulating acupuncture points with needles, a special red light is used. The dogs appear to be quite relaxed as its non-invasive, non-painful and is totally safe to use. Photonic provides relief from pain and promotes healing.
How Does Photonic Therapy Work?
The safe, low frequency red light (not laser) is applied to the skin at very specific points to stimulate the autonomic nervous system as well as the spinal nerve transmission which supports the healing of conditions and injuries in animals. The light stimulates the skin and cells to trigger a chemical (ATP) which signals the brain to release endorphins, anti-inflammatories and serotonin and by doing this will assist in eliminating toxins and improving cellular uptake of nutrients. This then will reduce pain, swelling, inflammation and increases circulation and relaxation.
Healing with light dates back to ancient Egypt where people journeyed to various temples devoted to the healing power of sunlight.
In this modern day, many advancements in technology have allowed leading scientists and physicians to use photonic red light therapy in many practical health applications including animals. It is widely used now on humans, cats, dogs, horses, birds, livestock and wildlife with outstanding results.
An interesting fact is that NASA uses red light therapy in zero gravity to expedite the wound healing process for their astronauts.
Conditions That Photonic Therapy Can Help With
Photonic Therapy is used to treat a number of conditions in dogs such as:
Other Benefits to Photonic Therapy
Photonic Therapy compliments other Natural Therapies including Hydrotherapy. A combination of therapies designed for dog’s individual needs and circumstances can see the dog gain maximum health benefits.
We offer Photonic Therapy at K9 Swim, a session costs $40 and bookings are essential. We will discount your photonic session by $10 if its booked with a Swim or Water Treadmill session.
We can also put a package together for you. Call us today for more information
As pet owners it can be overwhelming when your dog has had surgery and it’s time for you to take them home from the vet and manage their post-surgery care. It is crucial you give your pet the best possible care during this time to accelerate their recovery and assist in prevention of any secondary issues arising.
Talk to your Veterinary Surgeon
Your Veterinary Surgeon has done their part by performing the surgery and they will also explain your post-surgery care and often give you discharge papers and printed instructions on your dog’s post-surgery care. There are no standard post-surgery specifics as these will always vary due to the type of surgery being done and you’re your dog’s age and condition. It’s important you talk to your vet and that you understand the instructions that you have been given. As this can be an emotional time it is a good idea to write down your questions and take notes on what you need such as bandages, stitches or medications to administer. This will avoid any confusion and ensure you don’t forget anything.
Be diligent about your dog’s post-surgery care.
It is imperative that you follow the instructions from your Vet and if they tell you that your pooch requires restricted rest and needs to be on a controlled lead, they mean it! The reason is that your dog’s body needs to heal properly, and additional movement can increase the risk of injury and result in another surgery or other complications.
Post-op checkups at the Vet clinic are very important after surgery as the Vet will make sure healing and recovery is going as planned. Don’t put off or miss any of these checkups.
Confining your dog for post-surgery recovery
Keeping your dog confined after surgery is common as it helps the cut tissue to heal. Your vet may request you to crate your dog and keep them leashed when taking them to the toilet.
At K9 SWiM with so many post-surgery dogs coming here for rehabilitation and speaking to the pet owners I often hear people say, “It’s too hard to keep my dog crated and leashed to go to the toilet” Yes, it can be frustrating to keep your dog crated, confined and quiet during their recovery period from surgery or an injury. But when I hear dog owners tell me that they had just let their dog outside to go to the toilet and have a sniff around off the leash - that’s when their dog has hurt themselves and then their dog is back to square 1.
Here are a few tips to assist you in making confined rest and restricted exercise a little easier and more stimulating for your dog during this time.
Crate train your dog.
It is a good idea to crate train all dogs. So if they do injure themselves in the future and have to be crated for rest, then they will be OK with it. If you know your dog is going to have to have surgery get them crate trained before surgery. Dogs that have never been crate trained may find it stressful when placed in a crate post-surgery and could injure themselves further by trying to get out.
Canine Hydrotherapy for post-surgery rehabilitation
There any many types of surgeries where canine hydrotherapy can assist and accelerate recovery.
Hydrotherapy is non-weight bearing and will rebuild muscle quickly and will add no stress to the limbs. Muscle atrophy will be prominent in pre-and post-surgery cases and by building muscle again will assist in the stability of the limb and the mobility of your dog.
Surgeries such as spinal, cruciate repair and hip replacements, hydrotherapy is fabulous anywhere from 2-6 weeks’ post-surgery. With any rehabilitation program at K9 SWiM our Vet Referral (Link form) form must be completed and signed by your vet. This confirms that your vet has given the OK to start Hydrotherapy. Your vet should always approve any additional treatment or rehabilitation your pet is receiving for an injury they are treating. If you have any concerns during rehabilitation we are happy to liaise with your vet on your dog is progressing.
Other post-surgery rehabilitation options for your dog.
K9 SWiM Hydrotherapy and Wellness Centre specializes in post-surgery rehabilitation with an indoor heated pool, an underwater treadmill. We take a holistic approach to rehabilitation offering services such as massage, acupuncture, photonic therapy and strengthening exercises which are great for recovery and rehabilitation. Our retail shop stocks a variety of aids to assist in recovery like harnesses, braces, toe grips and orthopedic memory foam beds. Herbal mixes and supplements are also available for purchase.
Osteopath – Dr Samantha Sherrington and Alternative Vet – Dr Rob Willis are also available for appointments at K9 SWiM Wellness Centre.
So when you are talking to your Vet, discuss these options and ask when your dog will be ready to start these therapies.
You are welcome to come in and have a look around or call us on 1300 787 064 to make an appointment for your dog’s recovery.
A dog is considered to be a senior when they reach the age of seven to 10 years old. Smaller breeds tend to become seniors much later than larger breeds. For example, Great Danes are considered to be seniors by the time they are approximately 5 to 6 years of age,
whereas a Chihuahua would only be considered middle age by that time. However, aspects such as the environment, nutrition as well as genetics have a significant role to play in how fast a dog will age.
Some Changes That Come With Age
With age, there are many different changes that can take place in your dog such as:
Helping Your Dog Manage Their Ageing Process
While most of these changes can be very gradual, aging is something that cannot be reversed. However, it is possible to slow this process by following a good health management plan. Some things that can prove to be beneficial include:
How to Improve Balance and Muscle Tone in Senior Dogs
When a dog ages it becomes less active. They begin to lose their ability to balance themselves well. This typically occurs due to muscle loss which in turn leads to further inactivity. When a dog is inactive it causes the body to slow down, age faster, making them more prone to injury. There are certain therapies as well as anti-aging activities that can help your dog remain more active in their senior years such as:
Common Conditions that Senior Dogs Suffer From
As dog’s age there is deterioration in the joint function and arthritis becomes a very common problem. It is important to control your dog’s weight and have an exercise plan that will help alleviate the symptoms. Maintain consistency in daily exercise because sporadic, strenuous activity can stress and strain your dog’s joints.
It’s far better to exercise him multiple times during the day, but for shorter spans of time. Do not take your dog out on days when he/she is lame or stiff. It’s crucial that you provide your dog very good bedding. Orthopedic bedding is also available for senior dogs in many pet stores. Ramps are very useful over steps and to help your dog get into the car comfortably.
Treatments such as hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, and massage will surely help.
2. Dental Disease
This is another common condition in aging dogs. This makes it important that dogs be taken to the vet for regular checkups. Canine toothbrushes, treats and chew toys will also help maintain dental health in senior dogs.
Is more commonly seen in elderly female dogs but can also been seen in male dogs. Incontinence can be caused by infection, neurological issues, spinal problems, hormonal imbalance or senility as well. Older dogs tend to forget all their toilet training and are likely to wet the area they are lying in. In most cases, a certain amount of medication would have to be given on a daily basis to treat incontinence.
4. CDS (Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome)
Many dogs experience Alzheimer’s or dementia symptoms. This condition is referred to as CDS and the common signs of it include:
The progression of CDS can be snail-paced. Keeping your dog active and mentally stimulated is one of the best ways to slow down the progress of this condition. In some cases, antioxidants can help the condition.
While these are quite common in older dogs, it’s important to make sure that your dog actually has cataracts. It’s likely that he is suffering from a condition called lenticular sclerosis, which tends to be more common in senior dogs. This condition causes the eye tissue to become rigid over a period of time and the eyes develop a grayish-blue tint. Lenticular sclerosis doesn’t compromise the dog’s eyesight seriously and no treatment is necessary.
If the dog has a cataract, it can result in cloudiness or opacity in the eyes and the condition can impact their vision eventually. Most owners don’t notice the cataract in their dog’s eyes until it has covered almost 60 percent of the eye. Cataracts are often accompanied by illnesses such as hypothyroidism and diabetes. It is possible to remove cataracts via surgery.
The Benefits of Herbal Treatments in Senior Dogs
Older dogs can benefit significantly from herbal treatments that may be used externally as well as internally. Herbs are packed with minerals and vitamins and provide good support to the natural healing mechanisms in your dog’s body. There are a number of different herbs that can maintain your pet’s overall well-being and keep them healthier in their old age. Herbs can prove to be very effective when used in conjunction with the right amount of exercise, a balanced and nutritious diet, and sufficient sunlight.
Balanced Nutrition Matters
Since older dogs have low activity levels their metabolism is slower. This means, their body requires fewer calories. However, it is important to ensure that your senior dog gets the right amount of easy-to-digest, high-quality protein content in her food. Typically a balanced diet for your senior dog would include:
Low-fat, high-quality, concentrated protein.
Carbohydrates that are easier to digest- these will provide her energy.
Various minerals to support arthritic or stiff joints.
In addition to the protein content in the diet, vitamins can help effectively fight infections that are brought on due to a decline in the immune system.
While it’s a good idea to feed your dog at least a couple of times a day, you may find that they prefer to eat smaller portions, multiple times a day. This is a very normal eating pattern in senior dogs, as their system is able to digest smaller quantities of food much better than larger portions.

With winter right around the corner, the cold weather can aggravate arthritis-related aches and pains in dogs. Since they stay in heated indoor areas, drink insufficient water and don’t get enough sunshine, it can result in dryness of the skin and affect the condition of their coats too.
In addition, they may become more susceptible to bacteria and viruses; which makes it even more important to help them build their immunity levels. One of the simplest things to do is to create a small garden where you can grow some herbs that will be beneficial to the health of your dog. You can add herbs to your pet’s meals; this will help them greatly with mobility issues, improve their overall wellbeing and the flavour of their meals as well.
Some indoor herbs to grow during the winter months
1. Lemon Balm
How to add these herbs to your dog’s winter meals
Many pet parents wonder whether their dogs will actually take these herbs happily. Most herbs have a distinctive aroma and taste that some dogs may not find very palatable. The one way to ensure your dog consumes these beneficial herbs is to cleverly incorporate them into their meals. Here are some ideas to get you started:
How K9 SWiM can help
If you are unable to grow fresh herbs or source them easily, simply use the dried variants. Our K9 SWiM Hydrotherapy and Wellness Centre also has a well-stocked herbal section, where you can source dried culinary/medicinal herbs in quantities even as little as 50g in weight. Feel free to contact us to make an appointment to discuss as we can create some tailor-made herbal blends to complement the requirements of your pet.
Arthritis is derived from artho (joint) and it itis (inflammation), both of which are Greek words. It is estimated that about 30% of Australian dogs are affected by this condition in some form or the other. Your dog may be diagnosed with DJD (Degenerative joint disease) or OA (osteoarthritis).
Factors that can contribute to arthritis in dogs
Arthritis is generally caused by instability of the joints as well as regular wear and tear. However, there are a number of other factors that contribute to this condition such as:
Understanding what arthritis is
The joints that are most commonly affected include the elbows, shoulders, knees, and hips. All joints in the body have a smooth cartilage cover which allows the free movement of adjoining bones with the assistance of Synovial fluid (lubricating liquid). The cartilage and also offers a cushioning effect to the bones.
In dogs that suffer from arthritis, there is deterioration of the cartilage covering the joints and the lubricating fluid loses its efficacy. These conditions cause the bones to become rough and they begin to rub against each other. The movements result in a significant amount of discomfort and cause even more damage to the cartilage.
Arthritis- the sign to look out for
Most dogs are quite resilient and the signs of discomfort or pain may not be evident right away. However, the common symptoms to look out for include:
Next steps to take
If you have noticed any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to take your dog to the vet for a thorough check-up. X-rays and a comprehensive physical examination will determine if your pet has arthritis. While it is normal for you to feel dejected, there is hope. Arthritis can be managed and controlled effectively in a number of ways.
Helping your dog manage arthritis
1. Managing the pain
At the outset, your vet would prescribe some pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication. These help in alleviating discomfort, inflammation, and swelling. There are a number of highly potent herbal remedies that can help reduce the pain and inflammation as well.
2. Focusing on the right diet
There are certain foods that can help fight inflammation and these can help manage your dog’s condition. Some of the dietary changes you can make include:
Your vet may prescribe nutraceuticals. These supplements that help provide some relief to dogs with arthritis. They help with symptoms such as inflammation and improve mobility. Some of the effective supplements include Green-lipped mussels, Joint strong, K9 Power, Techneyflex and Tuffrock Joint Formula.
This is a very important aspect in the treatment of arthritic dogs. You need to keep your pet exercising, taking care that their muscles aren’t stressed too much. With this in view, hydrotherapy becomes an excellent exercise option because it:
5. Weight Management
If your dog is arthritic, it’s very important to ensure he or she has a normal weight. The heavier your dog the more load and strain on the joints. This results in pain, discomfort and more inflammation and speeds up the progress of arthritis even further. If you want to successfully manage arthritis in your dog, weight reduction is something you need to focus on.
6. Massage or physical therapies
Visiting a massage therapist, physiotherapist or canine osteopath can benefit your dog. Massages are a good way of increasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the affected areas. In addition, these massage and physiotherapy sessions can help improve muscle tone, joint flexibility, and range of motion too. Some of the other alternative therapies that have proven to be effective in providing relief in arthritis are hot and cold therapy, photonic therapy and acupuncture.
7. Toe Grips and harnesses
If your dog is slipping on smooth floors or floorboards, you can give provide some traction. Toe grips are a good solution as they help your pet place their feet correctly on the floor and get a firmer grip. You will find a number of well-designed harnesses that can help your dog get into the car or walk up & down stairs, without you having to do any heavy lifting.
8. Home aids and home improvements
You can use a supportive orthopaedic memory foam bed for your arthritic dog. This type of bed provides good support and comfort. Your dog will feel more rested and will be able to get in and out of bed easily. You can get movable ramps for helping your pet get in and out of the car or even to climb up and down stairs. This will save you some effort and help reduce the stress on your dog’s muscles and joints.
9. Portable doggie stairs
These aids are great for smaller dogs that prefer sitting on a couch or lounge when you are watching your favorite show on television. This little staircase is the perfect alternative to them jumping up to sit beside you.
10. Heat pads
These are a great option for older dogs during the colder months. You can place the heat pads under their mattress. The heat radiated provides some comfort to their joints during cold nights.
Now it's up to you
As you can see, there are a number of things that can be done to manage arthritis in your dog. And it isn’t as difficult or challenging as it is made out to be. If the vet has diagnosed that your dog has arthritis, you would have to make some conscious changes to his or her lifestyle at the outset. This will take some adjusting in the initial stages, but your dog will eventually get used to it over time and it will become a normal part of their daily routine.
Never miss out on scheduled visits to your therapist or vet. Include some mobility supplements and aids to help them move around more comfortably. Watch your dog’s weight and ensure they get regular exercises or swimming sessions. Most dogs simply love the latter and look forward to their weekly swims and hydrotherapy sessions.

Herbal treatments for your pets can have significant benefits provided they are used in the right form. It’s best to consult an animal herbalist or naturopath when starting your pet on any herbal treatments as these professionals have a good understanding of herbs and can recommend which ones would be suitable for your animal.
Your pet’s digestive system is able to absorb tinctures or strong herbal teas very well and it’s best to give these at frequent intervals through the day, rather than a single large dose, as it helps boost the immune system and speeds up the healing process.
Aspects to consider
You can add dried herbal mixes and powders to your pets’ food which will have a slower response but is the ideal way for maintenance. It’s also the best solution for those fussy four legged babies that don’t like taking medication. The factors that you have to take into consideration include your pet’s:
Herbs should be used in a holistic manner and the medical condition and its origin should be taken into consideration before starting any particular treatment. The body has the ability to heal itself and once the root cause of the problem has been established, herbs can be used to support the body to rebalance itself.
What can herbal medications be used for?
Herbal treatments can be used externally as well as internally for various conditions such as:
The right diet for your pet matters
Along with the herbal treatment, you also need to make sure your pet is getting a natural, well-balanced and nourishing diet. Even when you give your pet any packaged foods, buy ones of a good brand as these will have the right ingredients and nutritional balance.
If you alter your pet’s diet, do so gradually; this gives their digestive system the time to adjust to the new foods and you are able to monitor whether its ingredients agree with your pet. Opt for products that don’t have any colourings and preservatives (as far as possible), and be on the lookout for allergic reactions to new foods.
Herbs are packed with minerals and vitamins which help improve overall health and wellbeing. They can also help increase your pet’s lifespan as they keep them healthy; so you can safely give your pet herbs even when it doesn’t suffer from any specific medical condition.
As a qualified Animal Herbalist and Naturopath I am always happy to discuss what will be best for your dog. You can book a consultation for your dog with me at the K9 SWiM Hydrotherapy and Wellness Centre.

Have you ever had an itch that you can’t scratch? We all feel for our dogs when we see them scratching, scratching and scratching trying to soothe their itch! An Oatmeal Rinse is a great natural home remedy that you can make yourself, that will relieve and soothe your dog’s itch. Before we give you the recipe lets go through why your dog may be itching and two of the most common causes being fleas and wondering dew and what your can do for these two causes.
Why Dog's Itch?
Dogs itch for many different reasons such as
Fleas On Dogs
As fleas are the most common reason for dogs itching it is best to ensure your dog is free from fleas before you take your dog to the vet to determine the cause of the itching.
We don’t always see the fleas on our pets so the best way to check is to comb your pet over a damp white towel or paper and if fleas or black particles fall onto the damp white surface and turns a reddish colour you know that there are fleas present. As this black particle is flea faeces which contains dried blood that will turn red once in contact with a wet surface. Fleas lay eggs, and the eggs fall off where the pet goes. This means that you must treat your house if your pet has picked up fleas. The life cycle of a flea is about four weeks, so even with diligent treatment; it will probably take that long to rid your environment of fleas. Particularly during flea season, and whether or not you've seen fleas in your home, wash all bedding and blankets in hot water, vacuum all floors, rugs, furniture and other surfaces at least once a week, paying particular attention to rooms and places the animal usually stays. To make cleaning easier, you can cover furniture and your pet's favorite rugs with sheets.
Lemon- citrus is a natural flea repellent. Slice a lemon (leave the peel on) and pour 1 cup of boiling water over it. Let sit overnight- this water can then be sprayed on your pet. This will help eliminate fleas and temporarily prevent new ones from taking up residence on your pet.
Wandering Jew is a common cause of contact allergies in dogs. Contact allergies normally affects the belly, armpits, paws and face, so the best prevention is to remove the plant or not let your dog have access to areas where the plant is.
Soothing Your Dog's Itch With Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a natural remedy you can prepare yourself at home to soothe your dog’s itching.
Oatmeal cleans, soothes, relieves and balances the pH level without causing further irritations. Here is the home remedy recipe for Oatmeal Rinse to soothe your dog's itching.
Oatmeal or rolled oats will do
A stocking sock or small muslin bag
Luke warm water bath
Step 1: Place 2 tablespoons of oatmeal into the stocking sock or muslin bag
Step 2: Run stocking sock or bag through the lukewarm water bath until the water becomes milky
Step 3: Place dog in bath and soak dog in oatmeal water. You can use the stocking sock or bag to sponge the dog.
Step 4: Leave on dog for 3-5 minutes- as long as dog will tolerate standing in the bath.

Is LED light therapy safe to use?
The Therapeutic Goods Association (‘TGA’) safeguards and enhances the health of the Australian community through effective and timely regulation of therapeutic goods. You can use your Professional and at home LED light therapy masks with confidence knowing that all our devices have an ARTG from the regulatory and safety body in Australia, the TGA.
What should I expect from my using my LED mask?
The treatment lasts for 20 minutes, with results mostly being felt from the first session. Treatments are relaxing and users will experience a warm rejuvenating feeling, with skin feeling and looking more hydrated and even.
Repeated use of the Aduro will increase the desired effect, with an increase collagen production and the bodys natural rejuvenation processes – resulting in youthful looking skin and overall improvement of skin complexion.
A course of 12 treatments is recommended, with increased usage providing better results. Combining your LED Mask with our Hydrogel Collagen masks formulated specifically for use with our Light Therapy Mask or your favourite cosmetics is recommended, for the best Aduro experience.
What functions does the Personal LED Facial mask have?
The Aduro Australia Personal mask offers 11 unique treatment options that are simple and easy to use, designed specifically with the home user in mind.
Cycle through each colour wavelength for overall wellness and rejuvenation using the Daily Dose setting or use the Quick fix setting which cycles through Primary and Secondary light wavelengths for Radiant skin that offers you a collagen boost, anti-redness, anti-inflammation and wellness.
The remaining 9 treatment settings allow you to focus primarily on the skin concern at hand using 100% light energy using the colour wavelength of your choice, from ‘Acne Buster’ Blue light to help break the acne cycle for clear skin to ‘Red Away’ Yellow light known for its anti-inflammatory properties, great in the management of Redness, Eczema, Rosacea, Sunburn and Psoriasis.
For combination skin the ‘Cell Rejuvenator’ Violet light is a must! Combining Red and Blue Light this setting has been shown to be a great maintenance option for skin prone to breakouts while offering healing and collagen boosting properties.
Pre/Post treatment instructions
It is important that the treated area be cleansed prior to starting any treatment session. In order to maximize your treatment, it is recommended that you drink at least 1/2 glass of water before and after all treatment sessions, practice healthy eating habits, limit sun bathing, alcohol consumption, and smoking while undergoing your series of light therapy sessions and up to six weeks following your treatment.
Most clients will continue to see a marked improvement in their skin over the 6-12 week treatment period even after your initial LED mask sessions have concluded.
As with any cosmetic treatment, individual clinical results will vary from person to person. The great thing about owning your own personal mask is that you are not limited to the number of treatments you can have each week (however we recommend 3 to 7 x 20 minutes sessions per week initially) it is easy to maintain your results (2 to 4 x 20 minute sessions thereafter) to enable you maintain your desired results. Most people require a number of 20 minute treatment sessions over several weeks with gradual results occurring over time.
*Patients who frequently use anti-inflammatory and aspirin products often require more treatments to achieve desired results.
The Aduro facial masks use special light that is packed full of energy in the form of photons, and when shined onto the skin these photons penetrate to certain levels of body tissue.
These photons then transfer their energy into a form that the body can use called ‘cellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) energy’ and increase blood flow by the signaling of Nitric Oxide.
ATP is the body’s fuel for energy. The more energy we have, the more the body can use this energy for proper function, such as repair and rejuvenation.
Super-charged cells from exposure to the Aduro light masks then prompt skin fibroblasts to produce increased collagen, elastin proteins and stimulate the body’s natural healing and rejuvenating processes, while increased blood flow brings in more blood and nutrients to the area.
What is the temperature; will it hurt or burn the skin?
The Aduro operates at “2°C above ambient” which is a perfect for feeling relaxed, comfortable and opening the pores to the skin. It will not burn anyone’s skin.
Is the light harmful to the eyes and body
The light can be experienced as bright. Therefore we recommend that you always and use the protective googles provided with your mask and close your eyes during each treatment.
The treatment is pain free, non-invasive, requires no surgery and is a completely safe and effective treatment for all skin types.
The light does not emit any harmful UVA or UVB rays and is not a laser, which means that users require zero downtime or recovery time after a treatment.
Light therapy is medically recognized and is clinically proven, with independent studies of over 40 years of scientific research and support.
The Aduro is for skin rejuvenation; it will not darken or tan the skin.
How powerful is your Personal mask compared to others?
Very Powerful!! Don’t be fooled by imitations offering products with ‘more LED’s’! The power comes from the Watt energy output and the technical specifications in nanometers (nm). If other LED masks claim to have ‘more LED’s’ you should ask yourself why they need more! Generally the reason is that the individual LED’s are not very powerful and more often than not, the output is half the watt energy as what is delivered by our Personal Mask! Primary and Secondary colours require specific wavelength measurements so it is important to give us a call if you are unsure as there are many imitations on the market, don’t get caught out! Call 0408976718 for more details.

What is the difference between LED anti-aging Collagen stimulation and taking Collagen supplements?
The Aduro facial masks kick start the body to naturally produce new collagen and is clinically proven and medically recognized.
Collagen supplements may not work as desired because they are incapable of absorbing themselves in the complex matrix of collagen that exists in our body.
Collagen is taken by a lot of people to strengthen bones and tendons, while some users taking them for younger looking skin.
What are the benefits of using the LED facial mask?
The Aduro facial mask is a safe and natural treatment, which has a vast range of benefits to the skin. Benefits include the improvement of skin tone, reduction in fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. The results are that aged skin is firmed, rejuvenated and more even – for younger looking, rejuvenated skin.
- No pain and no chemicals
- Increases the production of collagen and elastin fibres
- Firms aged and tired skin
- Smoothes the skin and reduces wrinkles
- Smoothes the skin and reduces cellulite deposits
- More even skin coloration and complexion
- Increases moisture retention
- No negative side effects or harm
- Increases the bodys natural rejuvenating processes
Why does our skin become aged?
As we get older we lose the amount of Collagen and Hyaluronic acid within the skin. The loss of these components in the skin makes the skin susceptible to damage and wrinkling. By restoring the Collagen and Hyaluronic acid within the skin, the body is able to restore hydration, strength and reduce signs of ageing.
Should I use cosmetics with a treatment?
The Aduro facial masks are designed to be used with your favorite cosmetics. We recommend using our deeply nourishing and hydrating transparent Collagen masks with your facial light treatment for amplified results.
Our Collagen masks are light and gelatin based masks that are instantly hydrating packed with Vitamins for deeply nourishing effects for all skin types.
When is light therapy not suitable for my skin?
Light therapy treatments are non-invasive and are intended not to produce any thermal damage or pain.
Some people are sensitive to light and as such need to be aware of any signs that may indicate this. If you experience any problems or concerns such as uncomfortable heat from the wearing the mask, prolonged redness of the skin, swelling, itching or severe headaches during or after the treatment, these are all indications of sensitivity to light in which case you would want to discontinue the treatment immediately. These side effects rarely occur and usually subside within 24 hours of discontinuing the treatment.
if you do not experience these symptoms when exposed to natural sun light outside, it is unlikely you will experience these symptoms when using light therapy.
Herbs and over the counter medications such as psoralen and St. John’s Wort can also cause sensitivity to light so it is important to be aware of any medications or herbs you are currently taking.
Light therapy treatments may involve risks of complication or injury from both known and unknown causes as with all beauty treatments individual results will vary from person to person.
Are there any medical conditions that mean light therapy is not suitable for me?
Light therapy is not for everyone. Specific medications or conditions can cause a person to be sensitive to light as one of the side effects of some medications. The following questions are intended to help determine if light therapy is the best choice of treatment for you.
The diagnosis of some medical conditions can preclude you from using light therapy, if you are ever unsure you should check with your doctor beforehand.
Have you had/have any of the following medical conditions:
Acute or Cutaneous Porphyria | Lupus Erythematosus | Overactive Thyroid | Photophobia | Exogenous Eczema | Epilepsy and Seizures | Hypomelanism (albinism) | Skin Cancer | Eye disease/retinal abnormalities | Heart trouble/pace maker | Diabetes | Conditions requiring blood thinners.
*If you answered yes to any of the above conditions or you are unsure if you are a suitable candidate for light therapy due to existing skin conditions please consult your doctor before treatment to discuss your specific medical condition and the likelihood of any possible side effects associated with your prescribed medications and light therapy.
Can I use my light therapy mask while pregnant?
Pregnant and breast feeding mums should always check with their doctor before starting any new skincare regimes. As there are limited studies on the use of LED light therapy during pregnancy and breastfeeding you may wish to wait to use LED light therapy sessions after this special time. If you are currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next eight weeks we recommend consulting with your doctor as you may not be a suitable candidate for light therapy.
We encourage you to research the many wonderful benefits of light therapy to the face and body in making your decision to start your LED light therapy journey. A great place for you to start would be our online resources including clinical studies as well as online search platforms such as google | bing | yahoo that can help you understand the many wonderful benefits of using different colour light wavelengths as well as any medications or conditions that may preclude you from being a candidate for light therapy prior to purchasing your device.
