THIEVES OIL:
A British friend of mine introduced me to this wonderfully effective, and deliciously aromatic oil blend. You can buy it ready made or make it yourself to use as a disinfectant for your body, home and environment. Thieves is known to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, antiseptic and anti-catarrhyal properties while stimulating the immune system, circulation and the respiratory system.

175 drops lemon essential oil
100 drops cinnamon essential oil
75 drops eucalyptus essential oil
50 drops rosemary essential oil
Thieves Oil Recipe no. 2:
Combine equal parts (50 drops ea) of essential oils of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary.
How to Use:
1. Apply to the bottom of the feet.
2. Dilute with a base oil for a stimulating massage under the arms and on the chest and at the base of the neck. Diluted recipe: Place Thieves mixture above into a 2 ounce bottle. Fill the rest with jojoba, almond, or sesame oil. Note: If you have fair skin use more base oil and use caution.
3. Using an oil diffuser, diffuse in your home or work environment for no longer than 30 minutes.
The History of Thieves
Europeans began producing essential oils in the 12th century. During the Plague of the 15th century, certain thieves were able to rob the dead without fear of becoming infected by the terrible disease. After being captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims of the plague, the thieves were offered a deal. The magistrate offered them leniency if they would reveal how they managed to avoid contracting the dreaded infection, in spite of their close proximity with the infected corpses. They disclosed that they were perfumers and spice traders, and that they had rubbed themselves with a concoction of aromatic herbs (cinnamon, and clove).
