Thieves oil or Four Thieves oil as it is known today is based on a story from the 15th century, when Europe and Asia were being devastated by the bubonic plague. The European group of four thieves seemed completely indifferent to the disease while robbing hundreds of corpses. According to the story not even one of the thieves contracted the deadly and highly contagious disease. When they were finally caught and sent to court the magistrate offered them a deal – their secret for a reduced sentence.
The original Thieves Oil comes as a vinegar and consists of a variety of aromatic herbs, such as clove, cinnamon and rosemary, as well as eucalyptus and lemon. This blend of essential oils is true to that combination.
The properties of the Four Thieves essential oil makes it especially helpful during the flu season or winter months.
Diffuse or blend a few drops with water and mix in spray bottle to clean household surfaces.
As with any essential oil, and especially a blend, it is wise to test for allergies before use.
