Thieves Essential Oil

Thieves essential oil is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon,

Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils for an aromatic blend that
fills any space with a rich, spicy aroma. Inspired by the legend of four 15th-
century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination
composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the
dead and dying, Thieves is one of Young Livings most popular products.

With the benefits of Thieves oil including cleaning power and an irresistibly
spicy scent, Young Living offers it as an essential oil blend and as an
important ingredient in a full range of home cleaning and personal care
products, from dish soap to toothpaste. Looking to make your home smell as
clean as it looks? Diffuse Thieves oil throughout the house for an aroma that
makes every room smell more like fall baking than harsh cleaning formulas.

How to Use
Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 4 drops of V-6 or olive oil. Test on small area of
skin on underside of arm. Apply to desired area as needed.

Aromatic: Diffuse up to 10 minutes 3 times daily.

Our Family Thieves Oil Recipes

Here are some of the basic Thieves Oil Recipes and dilutions our family uses.
You can experiment with these to come up with your own Thieves Oil
Recipes.

"Thieves Oil Recipe" All-purpose Spray:

This is an all-purpose spray solution for cleaning around the home. This
Thieves Oil Recipe is great for cleaning the air and eliminating odors.

1 drop of thieves essential oil for each ounce of water, or for a stronger
solution (my preference) 1 drop for every 1/2 ounce of water.

Add the thieves oil first, then add water. It mixes better that way. Shake
vigorously before each use.

Basic Thieves Oil Recipe for Topical Application and Massage:

1 drop of thieves oil to 4 drops carrier oil.

Massage on the feet (vita flex points), lower back, neck and behind the ears.

We use this dilution for everyone. Babies too, though usually just on their
feet. Test for sensitivity first.

If this should get too warm just rub carrier oil or V-6 on the spot. The neck is
more sensitive than the back, chest and feet.

*Note: This thieves oil recipe is excellent for daily use on the feet for healthy
immune support or times when your immune system is stressed.

Thieves Oil for Diffusing

Diffusing Thieves Oil will clean the air and eliminate odors.

Different diffusers have different directions so follow yours.

Here is a basic Thieves Oil Recipe for Diffusing

Diffuse 15-20 drops of Thieves Oil for 15 minutes three or four time a day in
an essential oil diffuser. This can help clean the air while adding a nice
fragrance. As your family breathes in the oils it will help to support healthy
lung, sinus and respiratory functions.

Washing your hands frequently with soap and water is good practice for
stopping the spread of germs.
If our family wants additional immune support we run the diffuser
continuously for a few hours. Diffusing helps give our immune system the
support it needs to stay strong.

I like to add a few drops of Lemon Essential Oil along with the Thieves Oil in
the diffuser for extra support for healthy lung and sinus functions. Especially
during the colder months.

We also run the diffuser in the bedroom of anyone who we feel could benefit
from extra support, while they sleep at night. This gets a continuous flow of
the oils into the lungs and sinuses. It is highly supportive.

The Historical Story of the Four Thieves

The thieves were actually spice traders and merchants who imported
spices, including cinnamon and clove from India. When the Black
Plague hit, all international shipping and trade was closed down.
Unable to do business, these spice traders quickly ran out of money
and had to find a way to support themselves.

Since people in the communities were afraid to touch the dead bodies,
they decided to loot the homes and bodies of the plaque victims. They
would take clothes, jewelry, pots and pans, and then barter or trade
them for food and money.They believed they wouldn't get sick if they
rubbed vinegar, oils, and certain spices all over their bodies.

They were able to set up a very lucrative pawn business. Until the King
found out

When the King heard about the story of the thieves he wanted to know
their secret recipe.

He sent his Constables out to capture them. Four of the thieves were
caught and brought before the King. He gave them a choice to either
share their secret formula of "immunity" or be burned at the stake. The
four thieves decided to share their secret formula with the King.
The King immediately posted the thieves secret formula all over the
town.

Hence the story of the four thieves.

There is an account of the Thieves Story recorded in the Royal English

Archives.
