There is the "active" ingredient that is doing all the work and then a list of "inactive" ingredients...that are not.... active? how are they not active?

I assume they could be the ACTIVE ingredients "little helpers" ... but then again, how can they be helpful if they aren't actively doing something? I'm so confused....

story time:

A while back I purchased an anti-stress serum called "rescue remedy" specifically for my dog who was sick at the time and undergoing some pretty stressful treatments. The product is for use in both humans and pets and is said to be an all natural product made up of a various blend of floral extracts.. ......... but then I noticed something, the inactive ingredient..... ALCOHOL...

For some strange reason, I really think I was just giving my dog a good buzzzz , but hey, it worked! She was calm, cool and mellow yellow...niiiiice... she wasn't complaining...

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like clearing the drive before it has stopped snowing. Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids. A morning without coffee is like something without something else.
