I've liked the few Plant Therapy products I have tried so far, and would love to try out more! Both kits seem great, although I feel a bit more partial to the kid safe set simply bc that would be convenient to have with my little ones. I much prefer natural alternatives to treating bumps & scratches, but also for relaxation, and homemade soaps, cleaners, lotions. Essential oils are amazing and very versatile!

Bobbie Murphy says
I am a massage therapist, hydrotherapist, herbalist, etc that has previously worked in a wellness center where we treated people with MANY diseases with natural remedies. Essential oils are such a medicinal miracle for many. I am currently just doing volunteer work, helping whomever I can with my knowledge and "treatments", because I had gotten sick myself as to where I am unable to work as of now. I would LOVE to have an oil collection, not only to help others, but myself as well!! Would already have one if it weren't for the price of high quality grade oils!
Chrissy Kobus says
