I knew that I wanted to
use essential oils with my kids and Plant Therapy takes the guesswork
out of what's safe and what's not safe since they have a KidSafe line. I got this synergy from one of the handful of BST (buy / sell / trade) groups for non-MLM essential oils.
Here are some good Facebook groups to buy, sell, and trade non-MLM essential oils. Let me tell you, it's addicting and easy to get carried away. I can't remember if I bought it or traded it for another oil. The thing you have to remember is that while somethings may seem like they're a good deal, you often have to pay for shipping and that can be an extra $3.50 or so.

Product Details
This blend only has five ingredients: ho wood, cedarwood Himalayan, orange sweet, vetiver, and chamomile Roman.
Despite only having two similar ingredients (both blends have a type of cedarwood and chamomile Roman), they also have citrus, earthy, woody, floral, and herbaceous scents. They smell very similar to me.
Once they're sleeping you can switch to Sweet Dreams (here's the roller ball version) which helps promote pleasant dreams.
It smells a bit like earth after the rain, a mossy scent. I can smell the woodsiness and mustiness as well. It reminds me of hiking in the woods with a light rain. I don't really like it. My daughter doesn't like it either. However, smelling it makes me think of a damp forest, which is peaceful, calm, and has fresh air. I haven't used it enough to see if it works for them to go to sleep. The few times I tried it, it seemed to work pretty well.
It is pretty thin, but it's not going to run out of the bottle.

Product Details
Like Edens Garden's OK for Kids, Plant Therapy has a line for kids. This product is a part of this line meant for kids aged 2 and up. This blend was created for those who are unable to use lavender (or just hate it like I do). You can buy it here. They have a roller ball version as well. If you're looking for the regular not-safe-for-kids version, check out Sleep Aid. Use this link to get $10 off!
If you don't mind lavender, they have Nighty Night (here's the roller ball version) which also helps get your kids ready for bed. Once they're sleeping you can switch to Sweet Dreams (here's the roller ball version) which helps promote pleasant dreams.

Smell, Use, and Viscosity
This blend has fewer ingredients than Nighty Night, which has nine ingredients: lavender, marjoram sweet, mandarin, cedarwood atlas (aka cedarwood atlantica), patchouli, clary sage, chamomile Roman, and blue tansy, lemon. This blend only has five ingredients: ho wood, cedarwood Himalayan, orange sweet, vetiver, and chamomile Roman.
Despite only having two similar ingredients (both blends have a type of cedarwood and chamomile Roman), they also have citrus, earthy, woody, floral, and herbaceous scents. They smell very similar to me.
Once they're sleeping you can switch to Sweet Dreams (here's the roller ball version) which helps promote pleasant dreams.
- I have never tried ho wood, but I really don't think I would like it since it's supposed to be woody and camphorous. That sounds medicinal to me. They say there's also a floral attribute to it, but I'm not that big a fan of florals either. It's said to help calm you down and get you ready for bed. When used topically it can feel cool.
- I've never tried cedarwood Himalayan, but I have tried cedarwood atlas (aka cedarwood atlantica). I love the smell of cedar chests and thought cedarwood would make me nostalgic and feel grounded. Nope, not the case. I had the chance to smell cedar and to me it simply smelled like a musty, old basement. It's said to help with respiratory issues, dandruff, and keeping insects away.
- I love the smell of one of them and that's orange sweet. It's said to help your mood and immune system.
- I have never tried chamomile Roman. I've heard good things about it and I know it's supposed to smell powerful, green, and apple-like. I really think I might like it if it really smells like apples. I can do some green smells like lemongrass, so it sounds like something I might like to try. I haven't bought it yet since, in my opinion, it's kind of expensive. It's supposed to help children sleep and help tired muscles and joints.
- vetiver was one of the first oils I tried. I hated it. I was told it's supposed to be relaxing and grounding. For me, it was like lavender, an oil that many people like but I simply don't.

Size, Price, and Packaging
I got a 10ml bottle and it is priced pretty fairly. As I mentioned before, I got this as part of a set with the AromaFuse Diffuser, but you can also buy it here. They have a roller ball version as well. Use this link to get $10 off! The packaging is standard. It comes with an orifice reducer or Euro
dropper. The oil is thin so it can come out quickly, but the orifice
isn't too large that the oil just runs out.
Would I Get This Again?
Yes, I probably would. I don't really like the smell of it, but if it will help shorten bedtime and get my kids to sleep, then I'll use it every now and then.
Safety
The shelf life is about 2-3 years. I keep all mine in the fridge to help extend their shelf life.Make sure to follow proper dilution guidelines. Click on the button that says "download dilution chart". Do not use undiluted. Patch test before using. Check the max dilution on the label. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, please contact your caregiver first. Do not use internally unless directed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician.
