EQUINE FLY SPRAY RE-INVENTED

This is how it’s done!

 

 

The active ingredient in THE WHOLE HOOF’s fly and insect repellent ‘MISTDFLY’ is ‘PMD’ (the ‘potent magical difference’ (click here to see what this is) which is derived from the Eucalyptus Citriodora tree. The essential oil is extracted from the leaves.

 

 

 

 

GROWING THE TREES

Eucalyptus Citriodora trees are grown on small plantations in north east Australia and other parts of the world.

Harvesting the leaves

Leaves are harvested by hand from the trees. The leaves are steam distilled to produce Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil.

Distilling the oil

Leaves are placed in large ‘pots’ and are compressed. Steam is then applied to remove the oil from the leaves.

Oil to PMD (‘potent magical difference’!)

The ‘magic’ part of the oil is called p-menthane-3,8-diol – ‘PMD’ for short! There is only a little bit of it in each leaf and through a top secret process the levels are dramatically increased.

POW!

PMD to TWH’s MAGICAL MistDfly
