For dogs, cats and people. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">How does Grief Support work?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">Grief and loss activate the same neural circuits in animals as in humans: the amygdala registers the loss, the prefrontal cortex becomes overloaded, and the autonomic nervous system remains in a state of heightened alertness for a long time. Animals cannot process or name this state cognitively, but show it in behavior: withdrawing, eating less, searching, or no longer responding to familiar stimuli. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">Smell reaches the limbic system directly through the olfactory nerve, without the cognitive filter. This makes aromatherapy neurologically useful in emotional processing. Grief Support is not intended to suppress or numb emotions, but to support the nervous system so that processing at the animal&#8217;s own pace becomes possible.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f7faf7; border: 1px solid #d0e8d0; border-radius: 6px; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 14px;\">Composition<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Wild Orange<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Brings lightness and softness, supports gloom and emotional heaviness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Frankincense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3px 0 0; font-size: 0.93rem;\">Alpha-pinene and incensol acetate.
