I love that Plant Therapy has specific KidSafe oils. This is very important to me, especially with all of the unsafe usage that I have witnessed in the EO world. I'd love the entire line in order to help care for the health of my four daughters.
Patricia says
I would like to win the oils. My family is dealing with health issues and the medication doesn't seem to be helping much at all. Oils on the other hand, seem to help ginormously. We don't have much money, so it is hard to get the recipes perfect for each of us.
