Thieves: Mighty Immune Support

Thieves is a blend of oils meant to support the immune system.  The blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th century French thieves who used a special aromatic combination to stay healthy while robbing the dead and dying (plague).  I’m not sure that the legend can be verified, but I am sure that Thieves is a mighty immune system supporter.  It has a pleasant, spicy scent.

Essential oils in this blend:

Clove Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil

Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil

Rosemary Essential Oil

What it does:

  • Thieves supports the immune system in responding to infection.
  • Thieves helps limit free radicals in the body.
  • Thieves is a powerful cleaning ingredient.
  • Thieves can be used to refresh environments.
  • Thieves can be used to eliminate or minimize odors.
  • Thieves can be used to give a sense of security.
  • Thieves is uplifting and energizing.

A word of caution:

Thieves contains some essential oils that are “hot” oils (Cinnamon and Clove).  Dilution is necessary before it is applied directly to the skin and before added to a bath.
