What is “Thieves”?  It is a therapeutic essential oil blend.  Made up of five single therapeutic oils.  Clove (nature’s richest source of eugenol), Lemon ( 68 % d-limonene), Cinnamon Bark ( high in antioxidants), Eucalyptus Radiata (most versatile of the eucalyptus oils), and Rosemary (naturally energizing).

This blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the Black Plague with these oils.  When the thieves were tried, the magistrate offered leniency if they would reveal how they resisted contracting the infection as they performed their gruesome acts. They explained that they were perfumers and spice traders and told of a special concoction of aromatic herbs, including cloves and rosemary, that they rubbed on their hands, ears, and temples.

Thieves is a blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious essential oils.  Studies conducted at Weber State University (Ogden, UT) during 1997 demonstrated its killing power against airborne microorganisms.  One analysis showed a 90 percent reduction in the number of gram postive Micrococcus luteus organisms agter diffusing for 12 minutes.  After 20 minutes of diffusing, the killing rate jumped to 99.3 percent.  Another study against the gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a kill rate of 99.96 % after just 12 minutes of diffusion.

This is a wonderful blend that has been proven to work!  I have found with my clients that it has been wonderful for sinus infections, strep throat, sore throats, yeast infections, many forms of bacteria, mold spores, helps to protect against colds and flu, toe fungi, ear infections, and increases the immune system etc.

Thieves is a therapeutic essential oil that is a MUST in your medicine cabinet!

It does need to be keep out of reach from children and out of the eyes or sensitive areas.  Please contact me if you are interested in learning more about ordering it.

I would appreciate it if any of you have used Thieves to please comment!
