So as Emily mentioned a few weeks ago, I’ve recently become enamored with essential oils. Actually, I’ve been using tea tree oil for acne and as an antiseptic for about 18 months now, and I love what it’s been doing for me, so just this past fall I delved in further to see what other oils had to offer. The very first tea tree oil I bought was from a family-owned company called Plant Therapy, and when I started buying more oils I decided to look into what else they had to offer.
It is at this point I guess I should say, I’m not selling anything! Plant Therapy is not a multi-level-marketing company. I’ve bought some of oils from MLM companies and they work great. But I’m not really interested in getting into business, so like I said, I decided to check into what Plant Therapy had to offer.
They have a LOT to offer. And I bought a lot. Like, a lot. Let’s just say they had a really awesome month-long sale in December and I took full advantage.
And I love EVERYTHING! With the help of essential oils I’ve been sleeping a lot better, and sleep has been a nearly 11-year struggle for me.
But enough about me, what I am really excited about is that Plant Therapy makes affordable essential oils that are safe to use on my kids. They are appropriately called – KidSafe Synergies. There are 20 – 20! – different synergies that are safe for kid issues. Β Plant Therapy sent me 3 to review for this post, and I already owned 3, because as I may have mentioned, I love Plant Therapy’s products!
The KidSafe Synergies I already owned are:
A+ Attention, Nighty Night, and Calming the Child. I use A+ Attention on Jonah before speech therapy when I really want him to focus. I got Nighty Night because after he started preschool this fall, he started to have trouble calming down at bedtime and he would keep Joshua awake (they share a room) – it works great to get him settled! And I got Calming the Child to help him in the mornings. Jonah is usually a happy kiddo, but on school days he has to get up at 6:30 and he is never happy about it -(wonder where he got that from??). It’s often a struggle to get him to the breakfast table in a timely manner without a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth! Until I started using Calming the Child, that is. I put it on the back of his neck while he’s still snuggling on the couch while Bobby is making breakfast, and since I’ve started using it, he’s gone to the table willingly and without a fight. I’m not even kidding you!
The KidSafe synergies that I got to review are: Germ Destroyer, Immune Boom, and Tummy All Better. Β I think the reasons I selected these should be fairly obvious! Sophie in particular gets car sick, so I’ve diluted some Tummy All Better in some carrier oil and put it in a roller bottle to keep in my purse for those occasions. I got a chance to try out Germ Destroyer and Immune Boom on Joshua over the weekend when he had a headache and slightly elevated temp (99.2). I diluted the oils and applied them to his feet a few times over the course of the day and also diffused them into the air while he was playing Minecraft – and he never came down with anything. So I would say that was a pretty good trial run!
What really jazzes me about these KidSafe Synergies (ages 2-10) are that the were formulated for Plant Therapy by aromatherapy expert Robert Tisserand – Google him, he’s THE expert! Pretty exciting stuff! I knew when I got into oils, I didn’t want to play fast and loose with them when it came to my kids. So I did my research, and these KidSafe Synergies are what I feel comfortable using on them. PLUS they are great for adults, too – you just always know that they are safe for your kids.
Ok, so! Let’s get to the giveaway! I am giving away a 10ml bottle of Germ Fighter, Immune Boom, and Tummy All Better! Whee!

I would love to try the Calming the Child synergy blend. I’ve been researching another brand of EO’s this week because a friend has started selling them, so your post is very timely for me! I had never heard of this brand and now I am digging into their website! π
tummy all better is intriguing!
visited their fb page
Not so much interested in what they do, but how they smell. I’m pregnant and my nose is SO sensitive right now. I really want something good smelling to use on a wool ball in my dryer to reduce static and make my clothes smell good (my current dryer sheets kinda make me want to puke)! Probably a silly answer, but it’s where I am right now.
id love to try immune boom!
Just visited Plant Therapys FB page and I’m a fan!
I’m going to have to say Tummy All Better.
I visited their FB page.
I really want to try PT organic Frankincense. I’ve tried other brands but I like the ouls from PT a lot. And I like the organic ones especially:)
I am in the market for lavender. I have been thinking of trying Plant Therapy for a while. This post makes me really want to! Thanks!
This is my first time hearing about PlantTherapy, and lots of the blends look helpful. I’m most interested in Tummy All Better — it sounds like an awesome one to keep on hand for the family. Feeling car sick is a common occurrence.
Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I visited (and liked) Plant Therapy on FB.
For myself, I’m looking at the Eczema Helper. I’ve had a recurring problem on my hand for awhile.
My kids sometimes have a hard time winding down at night, so I’d love to try the Nighty Night kit! Sounds very soothing!

I’d like to try the Grapefruit Pink Oil because it is supposed to promote weight loss. Sounds good to me!

I would like to try the Calming the Child. I am outright completely skeptical of these oils and have never had the extra money to spend on experimenting! This would be great!
For myself, I would like to try the energy oil… Only because I couldn’t find one called Calming the Mama! lol
I would love to try immune boom. My boys catch everything going around.
They all sound interesting! I’ve been hearing a lot about Essential Oils lately, and I’m interested in how they might help my chronic migraines.
But, what do you DO with them? and are they scented? I hate scented things esp since they often trigger a migraine!
And I visited and liked Plant Therapy’s FB page!
I would like to try nighty night since my teenager natural melatonin kicks in later than I want him to fall asleep.
Sniffle Stopper! π
Visited… actually, visited many, many times. PT and I go way back!
I’d love to get some Frankincense Carteri. I love my frankincense serrata, but I’d like the other, too!
The choices are great, and useful! I am so glad to learn about these from your blog– a few that sound interesting are: Nighty Night, Sweet Dreams and Go, Go, Go. π
I visited their Facebook page through your link – love that they offer specials! π
I would enjoy trying the Tranquil or Stress-Free synergy oils for myself. π
I L-o-v-e the Stress Free Synergy, Amy! Haven’t tried Tranquil yet.
I’d be most interested in Calming the Child for my son. He gets very stressed at school (he does great, so i am unsure why) and his teacher is always complaining that he looks like he is ready to cry. I would love to help him soothe his nerves.
I visited (liked, but that is just because :D) you on Facebook as Allyson Bossie
I Would love to try an anti anxiety blend for an adult myself. I am unsure what exactly that would be called, but I also want to try Rose Oil (not rose hip, I have that). Thanks for the giveaway

I visited the facebook page. π
Nighty night! I love plant therapy. The Kidsafe blends are awesome!
