Thieves Essential Oil

Young Living's Thieves oil is one of the most popular of Young Living's oils because it's highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious oils! In fact, studies conducted at Weber State University showed it to have a 99.96% success rate against airborne bacteria.

Thieves was created from research based on a legend about a group of 15th-century thieves who rubbed oils on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying. When apprehended, the thieves were forced to tell what their secret was and disclosed the formula of the herbs, spices and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment.

Thieves should always be used with a carrier oil because it contains the "hot" oils cinnamon and clove.

I have a roller ball of Thieves and carrier oil in each boys room so that I can roll it onto the feet after baths. Being that my husband and I are both educators, all four of us bring home a lot of germs yet this year we have only had to use one sick day. That's a HUGE accomplishment for us!
