Plant Therapy Essential Oils

//  by

The use of essential oils seems to be a hot topic on the interwebs right now. And I love that people are starting to get a lot of information about their use as they can be very effective and an awesome asset in our natural medicine cabinets. I’ve been slowly dipping my toes into learning about essential oils over the last couple of years, trying to break away from just using them for my natural cleaners.

Over the last few months I’ve begun to do a bit more research and reading, so when Plant Therapy contacted me and asked if I wanted to do a review and giveaway for some of their oils, I couldn’t pass it up. plant therapy essential oils

They sent me a 14 oil kit, 7 of them synergies (blends) and I’ve been busy using them for the last 6 weeks or so. It includes these 7 synergies:

Sensual Synergy (Aphrodisiac)
Energy Synergy (Physical Energy)
Germ Fighter Synergy (Like Thieves)
Relax Synergy (Physical Relaxation)
Immune-Aid Synergy (Immune System Booster)
Tranquil Synergy (Emotional Stress Relief)
Invigor-Aid Synergy (Mental Invigoration)

And these 7 single oils:

Lavender (Lavandula Officinalis)
Peppermint (Mentha Piperita)
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus)
Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia)
Orange (Citrus Sinensis)
Lemon (Citrus Limonum)
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomun cassia blume)

The one thing I’m really beginning to love are the synergies, because I can read and research all I want about using oils and which ones to use for specific issues, but these make it super easy to use. And the fact that they are blended together by an aromatherapist puts me at ease knowing that someone knowledgeable has already done the work for me.

I’ve used each of the synergies and don’t have a complaint about any of them. I’ve used both the Immune-Aid and the Germ Fighter a bit over the last few weeks to help us fight the multiple viruses that seem to be rampant in our area now. As an added benefit, they make the house smell great. (I’ve also realized I desperately want a diffuser!)

The Energy blend has been great during my workouts and the Invigor-aid quite helpful as I sit down to write and work for an hour or so in the afternoon. Instead of craving coffee or tea, I just put a dab on me and keep going.

I also know there is a lot of controversy regarding essential oils right now, a lot of people have some very adamant views about sourcing and companies and yadda, yadda, yadda. So I asked a few extra questions about their oils and I feel comfortable using them in my home and telling you about them. (You can read more about them here.) And I also found that I liked some of their single oils better than ones I already had, the scent was almost ‘cleaner’ and ‘brighter’if one could use those words as descriptive.

The only negative thing I can think to say about this particular kit is the lavender, but only because lavender is most definitely not on my list of favorite scents. Which is so weird because everyone else I know loves it! For me, it tends to give me a headache, though I do use it for other family members. It’s a lovely oil, just not one that I prefer, though when used in a couple of the blends they sent me, I like it just fine.

I also asked them if there might be some oils that would specifically help a woman with thyroid or hormone balance issues and here’s what they said,

“Plant Therapy’s Balance is full of essential oils that would be helpful for Thyroid issues. The oils in that are Tarragon, Peppermint, Ginger, Fennel, Lemongrass and Anise.

For hormone balance we have a Balance Synergy that is specifically for helping women with balancing their hormones.

They could also could try Anti-Anxiety, Blue’s  Buster, Self-Esteem Synergies and Chamomile Roman and Geranium Bourbon.”

I plan on purchasing a few more of their blends soon like the Endo-Aid mentioned above as well as a vanilla/ylang-ylang blend, and if I could keep myself from checking out their line of products, I might just get away with only those two. Because the more I look around, the more items somehow happen to find their way to my cart.

    How exciting! I’m on the search for the perfect essential oils brand for me and my birthy business. Thanks for sharing- look forward to hearing more about your essential oils journey. I would love to try the Plant Therapy’s Organic Citronella oil. We hate mosiquitoes! 🙁

  8. Laura

    I LOVE lavender and peppermint. I don’t have too many essential oils just yet, but this would be a great starter!

    I would love to try the Balance Synergy. I feel like I’ve tried every other possible remedy for balancing hormones – maybe this one will do the trick!

  14. Katie

    I would love to try the Balanced Synergy or really anything that would help me with daily health problems but definitely include those related to the pcos. I’ve read so many things about how essential oils can be used but never got a chance to try them and would love to win this!

  21. Lindsay

    I’m working on incorporating some essential oils into our house. I love lavender. I use it to help me sleep, sometimes in the bath, but also I have used it in my homemade laundry soap. I also use tea tree (for lots of things) and peppermint for migraines. With a new little one on the way, I would love to win this to have some new ones on hand! 🙂

  24. Schanna

    It’s hard for me to narrow it down to two! I really could use them all but I suppose the most immediate need would be Energy Synergy and Invigor- Aide Synergy. Thanks so much for running this contest!

  25. Mandy McGraw

  28. Erin

    I have really been wanting to start using essential oils! I really would love to try blues buster and balance!

  30. Lexie Martin

  46. Kaela

    I would love to try the Calming the Child blend. My son has become a monster since learning to crawl/get into things and I bet it would help diffusing it!

  47. melissa

    I would like to try the anti anxiety one. I am always dealing with it and would love to try something new!

  50. Courtney

    The world of essential oils is pretty new to me, with the exceptions of lavender and bergamot, which I love. I often have trouble smelling pretty things because of the mess that my sinuses are, but scents of essential oils seem to get through and they make me happy 🙂 I’d love to try them all!

  54. Brandi B

    I’m new to essential oils in general, so there are a ton I’d love to try. I’d especially love to try some of their germ fighting and immune boosting ones, as this is also the first year I’m not getting the flu shot and I’ve started backing down on what vaccines I give my daughter. I’d love to have those to help during cold and flu season, especially since I run a daycare out of my home.

  56. Christine

    To be a little more focused at work, I’d love to try the Brain Aid oil. I’m a big fan of natural remedies rather than caffeine to get through the day.

  57. brooke

    i’d like to try Clary Sage during my labor/birth, coming up in a few weeks. i’m also interested in the anti-eczema blend, since i have a tough case of it that i haven’t been able to kick.

  58. Elizabeth

    I’m really interested in the Endo-Aid. I too have been dealing with naturally curing my thyroid and in the process of cleansing my liver. I would love to try this!

  59. Amy

    I would like to try the Endo-aid. Seems like thyroid issues are becoming epidemic…and I am included in it. Thanks for the opportunity to win some oils.

  62. Julie R.

    I love essential oils. I’m a newby, but an instant fan! I would love to try all of the synergies, especially for my kids!

  64. Laura

    I’d really like to try the Energy Synergy. More energy is always a good thing when you have a 2 and 4 year old. 🙂

  70. Sheena H

    I am new to essential oils, so I’m not sure which product I would like to try first. I’ve heard amazing things!

  73. Jessica M.

    I would absolutely love to try all of these essential oils! The Germ Fighter, Relax and Immune Booster sound especially appealing. Anti anxiety as well as Endo-Aid. I have Hashimotos so that would be great! Love this giveaway!!

  74. Melinda

    I started looking for where/how/what to purchase for the first time regarding essential oils. It is great to read such great reviews on this company. I have been using vinegar and water as a cleaner for so long that I associate the smell with clean, but I have wanted to add in some lavender or such for others noses as well as additional cleaning benefits. Among many other things. Thanks for taking the time to try these oils out and review them for us all!

  77. Holly

    I really can’t pick one! I’ve been very interested in essential oils lately but don’t know where to start. This would be a dream come true!

  78. Courtney Sherwood

    What great stuff! With a house full of highly sensitive types we’ve begun looking into this very thing as alternatives…. My oldest could really benefit from this I think!

  79. Joy

    Good heavens! I’m going to actually put this in my budget, and take it out my grocery section, and we are going to get healthy again! I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’m going to put it in March’s plan and get a diffuser and a set of essential oils. No more procrastinating. Thank you so much, folks. Balance Synergy and Germ Fighter, Endo-Aid and Germ Fighter are on my list!

  80. Sabrina Andreasen

    I absolutely love essential oils, and use them in a lot of my homemade products, like moistuirisers and claening products. I would love to win theese:-)

  82. Gwen

    Ooohhhh…I would try any of them!

    I need me some mental stimulation!

    Donielle, I’ve done some research on lavender, and it is one that people seem to either love or hate. It has the ability to “turn off” the adaptogenic (male) hormones, and turns on estrogenic hormones. Really fascinating eo!

  83. Melody

    I’d love to try all of them! But I’m particularly interested in the germ-fighter blend. I may try the kit either way…

  84. Beth

    I’m new to all this but my friend who uses oils is always talking about Frankincense and Peppermint so I would start there. 🙂

  86. r. lapp

    Hmm. it’s a toss up! i like the synergy line! so i would choose either headache relief or funky feet.

  88. Emily Burtt

    I would love to have this as a birthday gift to me. :0) So useful to a mom w/ 6 kiddos! Thanks for the giveaway!

  92. Michelle Harreld

    I’d really like to try the Lavender Oil the most, but that’s just because I’m an essential oil newbie! I’m trying to learn as much as I can to effectively incorporate them into my life!

  95. Lauren

    For hormone balance we have a Balance Synergy that is specifically for helping women with balancing their hormones…
    I want to try that one!!

  96. andrea smith

    I like that they have a collection of organic oils. Their blends look interesting too: child calming, endo-aid. I also really want a diffuser!

  98. Elena Vo

    Thank you for the generous giveaway! My friend told me about essential oils a few months ago and now I am just getting into this exciting field. I’d like to try the Pine Essential oil to help my husband with his joints problems.

  100. Michelle Green

    Wow, the lends look amazing and are so intriguing. Balance for women, blues buster, CALMING THE CHILD 🙂 winners!

  104. E Renee Sortore

    There are many of them that I would like to try, just starting out on learning about using essential oils, but for myself I would really like to try the Allergy-Aid Synergy. I have horrible allergies that over the counter drugs can’t touch and not willing to pay loads of money for an allergy doctor that will just give me more drugs.

  115. Danielle A

    Honestly, I want to try them all! I have peppermint oil, and I love the benefits it has given me. I really want the opportunity to explore and experiment, and learn about essential oils. 🙂 This would be a great way.

  121. Mary

    I would like to try the brain aid synergy. I’m curious about it. My husband and I think we are more forgetful than we used to be!

  124. Adriana Mazza

    I love essential oils and using them around the house (ie. Lavender in our dryer balls). I’d love to try the Invigor-Aid Synergy though, for myself and my husband.

  127. Lucy

    Just finding your website from a friend recommendation and sounds very interesting. I am in the path of finding some natural remedies that will help balance my hormones, so I will be reading your blog in the next days.

  128. Michelle T

    I would like to try most of the oils, but especially the Deodorizing Synergy. I haven’t had luck with natural deodorants and can’t wait to make my own.

  133. Kelly

    I currently dabble in EOs, but really don’t have much experience. I’d love a kit to try to get into it more!

  136. Brittney

    I have been wanting to learn more about using essential oils, and this kit would really help to make it easier!

  144. Andrea Merrigan

    I have a question you might be able to answer quicker them me finding it on the website. I am familiar with another EO company and their oils are almost all safe for using on skin and some ingesting. Are Plant Therapy oils the same???

    • donielle

      @Andrea Merrigan, The oils are of therapeutic grade, whether or not oils should be ingested is the controversy. 😉

      Most oils come from the same distilleries as there are not many of them worldwide. Some people/companies advocate the internal and ‘neat’ use of oils, while others do not. Plant Therapy does not, unless you are working with someone trained in their use. You can read more here: http://planttherapy.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=10

  146. Jessica

    Great giveaway, thanks for hosting! I’d love to get the individual oils, but I’m really interested in the synergistic blends as well.

  147. Dani

    I’ve got a high school senior at home who has run herself ragged and now has the flu–I’d love to try the Germ Fighter Synergy, RIGHT NOW, please! LOL
    Honestly, the thieves-type blends have been heavy on my mind for about a month, and I have been looking for a pre-blended one. I would love to win–thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  148. Shelly

    I am very interested in all of these oil combinations – I used some oil just last week to fight some cold symptoms and still have a lot to learn. I am very interested in using herbs and oils instead of typical otc medicine.

  153. Cristy Carnes

    This was an awesome post because I am in the process of changing over our medicine cabinet and other household items to more natural items. I really enjoy your blog and getting your different ideas! Thank you!

  157. Mary

    I’m just getting into essential oils and LOVE them! The good ones are pricey, though, so it’s slow-going. This would really be useful.

  159. Mazie Lynn

    I am new to essential oils and a little overwhelmed, so I love that Plant Therapy has created some synergies that make it easier than having to figure out combinations on my own. The giveaway would help me expand beyond the oils that feel “safe” (like lavender)!

    • Dineen

      @Dineen, Sorry, the “leave a comment” request didn’t show any further instructions until I activated another press… I’d be interested in trying the “Balance” synergy blend.

  161. Sarah B

    Would love to try all of them and am working towards more natural cleaners. However, right now, 7 months pregnant and not sleeping well, am finding lavendar helps a lot.

  165. Kay

    I already use essential oils but minimally. I have begun to research more so this giveaway is perfect.to get me more into it! Thank you!

  168. lindsey

    While I’d LOVE to try them all, I’d like the synergy or the lavender ones the best I think. Thanks for letting us know about this site!

  169. Tara

    I would love to try the Germ-Fighter Synergy. I think it would be great to keep at my desk at work to fight off the germs that seem to gather! 🙂

  171. Kristen Baker

    Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the generosity! I’m relatively new to the essential oils world, so I’d love to try out the different blends to discover more! Great info too!

  176. Julie

    I would love to try the mental invigoration one because I have gone back to school and sometimes find it hard to focus and study!

  177. Jenny

    I would like to try the blends. I have ben using more and more essential oils but am still very unsure of mixing and amounts in the mixes. The blends would sure help until I get it figured out.

  182. Linda

    I would LOVE to win this Essential Oil kit. I have just started my journey into essential oil and I am happy with the results. So far I have only 4 oils.

  186. Bonnie Carroll

    Brain-aid synergy looks the most intriguing to me, since I have a lot of brain fog lately. I have been praying for months for a chance to get started using essential oils, but it hasn’t been possible financially. I’d love this starter kit!

  194. Ally

    I’d like to enter. I very new to this and have no idea what to do but I want to be more natural and not need medicines where possible. I wish to naturally support my fertility and boost my immune system and de stress.

  197. Jamie English

    I would like a kit so I could try several of them 🙂 ahem, like maybe the kit in the giveaway1

  199. ELisha Vee

    This is perfect timing for me! I was in the process of building an EO inventory list this week. The “winter blahs” always remind me to rely upon my herbal teas, natural bath additives like salts and natural scents to refresh stale indoor air and reenergize my spirit. I will certainly check out their website! Thank you! 🙂

  200. Stephanie M

    Today I need the one for emotional stress relief! I have just recently tried some oils and I can’t believe how fast my kids have kicked their colds and tummy bugs!

  204. Jessica M.

    I would love to try the Germ Fighter Synergy, working in a school there are plenty of germs to be had.

  206. Jessica B.

    I’d love to try the Balance Synergy as well as Energy Synergy. Energy Synergy. . . Energy Synergy. . . That is really fun to say! 🙂

  212. Aleisha

    I was freaking out about that big 32 oil pack with the zipper book!!! The germ thieves oil really interests me!

  218. Emma Winton-Smith

    This would be wonderful to win as I have been wanting to get into the use of essential oils on a regular basis.

  220. Melody

    I don’t know enough about oils yet to pick one so I would have to go with the Organic Essential oil sampler.

  223. Rachel J.

    I’d love to try the Germ Fighter. My boys have been sicker this year than in years past. I might have to get a diffuser and some oils for the classrooms at school 😉

  224. Melanie

    I need hormone balancing, so I’d try the Balance Synergy. Agree about loving that someone else has already put together the blend for you!

  227. Rebecca

    I am very new to aroma therapy but want to learn more. This giveaway looks like the perfect way for me to do that. Thanks!

    And BTW – I’m with you on the lavender. It gives me a headache, too. But I love a wee bit of geranium oil in my hair rinse.

  230. Rochelle

    The germ fighter sounds like something I could have used last week!! I’d really like that one, or any of them!

  234. nancy

    I am interested in trying Plant Therapy’s Balance Synergy for women. It would be a blessing to get my hormones on track. They’re more like horrors and moans right now, lol.

  236. Bama

    Thanks for this contest–what a great give-away! I love essential oils and use them regularly as a perfume, to calm and balance emotions, for headaches, refreshing mist around the house etc. This is awesome.

  237. Stephanie

    I’ve been wanting to invest in some lavender and tea tree to try with the oil cleansing method. This looks like a great set, especially with the blends!

  241. Mallory Decker

    I’d love to try the Balance Synergy! And the Immune-Aid! I recently used essential oils to relieve flu symptoms for both my husband and myself. I was very impressed with their effects and am looking forward to learning more ways to use them.

  244. Victoria Cannoles

    I would really like to try some of the oils for allergies and for natural help with depression issues. Tranquil Synergy is the one I am most eager to try 🙂

  245. Jacque Revels

    I’d like to try the Immune-Aid since I travel a ton for work and always feel a little “knocked down” afterward, which would probably be a good reason to also try the Energy-Aid. I also stopped hormonal birth control after almost 16 years, and my body is still working all of that out, so Endo-Aid, or any of the ones they recommended in the blog would be helpful as well. 🙂

  249. Amanda R

    I’d like to try all the oils, but I’d like to try Relax Synergy and Tranquil Synergy most of all – I’ve got so much going on and have been rather stressed out. I’m doing what I can, but anything that helps is great. 🙂

  256. Jill Swanson

    I would like to try the Energy blend! I have used most of those oils separately, but like the idea of blends!

  259. Lyn

    I’d be interested in the Respir-Aid. Whenever my son gets sick, he has asthma symptoms. It’d be nice to find a natural way to manage that.

  264. Shandy

    I’d love to try the Endo-Aid and Balance Synergy. I just ordered the lemon and lavender oils from Plant Therapy a week ago, and they came in the mail a couple days ago already. The lemon is a nice strong scent (we’re using it in our Shaklee cleaner to create that “clean” smell) and the lavender was a nice scent for lavender (though I’m not a huge fan of lavender, we bought it for its calming effect.) This was my first ever essential oil purchase, and I would love to try more!

  266. Crystal

    Definitely looking into trying some essential oils. Right now in the need-more-info stage and would probably use the blends first.

  267. Elissa

    I would love to try the Ginger Root EO, since I’ve been battling some morning sickness lately.

  273. Amanda

    Oh my goodness. The stress relief would be amazing…I’m in the middle of planning my wedding. Ahhhh!!

  276. Abigail

    Cool! I’ve been really wanting to explore more about essential oils, but all the strong opinions I’ve read on which company to buy from have scared me away a bit. I’d love to win some! 🙂

  278. Katie T.

    Definitely could use the Stress Relief one and the Mental Invigoration one sounds great!

  279. Shirley Dubon

    I’d love to try the tranquil synergy, the pain aid synergy, the allergy aid synergy, the car diffuser, and so many more!

  280. ashley

    I am just starting to learn about EOs so it’d be great to have the basics to learn with.
