How to Protect your Family from Germs and Viruses with Thieves Oil
The Story of Thieves Oil
Young Living's Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical tale of four thieves in Europe who protected themselves from the black plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, they were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. In modern days, these same herbs and essential oils have been found to be an effective barrier against topical and airborne microorganisms.
Young Living's proprietary Thieves oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense as it did in the fifteenth century.
Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.
Let's face it, germs, bacteria and respiratory viruses that surround us have never been stronger, or more antibiotic-resistant. That's why it's more important than ever to keep your health on alert against attacks to your immune system.

I use it for disinfectant in the kitchen." -- Leler Murphy "Thieves works well when getting a cold. One time in particular when starting with a stuffed up nose and sore throat, a couple drops of Thieves dropped directly in the mouth which was immediately felt as the oil moved right to the sore spot in the throat. The Thieves oil brought on a tingling feeling there and within a half hour the throat felt perfectly fine. It’s important to catch symptoms immediately for fast and lasting relief." -- Karen Thomas
