THIEVES® ESSENTIAL OIL

Thieves is the most amazing blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, and into-infectious essential oils.

It was created from research based on legends 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 disclose the formula of the herbs, spices, and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment.

Studies conducted during 1997 at Weber State University in Ogden, UT, demonstrated the killing power of these amazing oils against airborne microorganisms.  The analysis showed that after 10 minutes of Thieves diffusion in the air, there was an 82% reduction in the gram positive Micrococcus lutes organism bioaerosol, a 96% reduction in gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa organism bioaerosol, and a 44% reduction in S. aureus bioaerosol.

Thieves Ingredients:

Clove - one of the most antimicrobial, antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral and anti-infectious of all essential oils.

Lemon - has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that amplify immunity.  It promotes circulation, leukocyte formation, and lymphatic function.

Cinnamon Bark - one of the most power antiseptics known and is strongly antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal.

Eucalyptus Radiata - anti-infectious, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.

Rosemary - is antiseptic and antimicrobial.  It is high in cineole which is a key ingredient in antiseptic drugs.

You may see a pattern here when reading what each individual ingredient is used for.  There are a lot of essential oils which are good for the same uses. Now just imagine how powerful they are when they are together in a Blend! 

Essential Oils create an unfriendly environment which becomes deadly to disease causing bacteria, viruses and other pathogens in the air.

Here are some ways you can use this amazing essential oil:

Diffuse

You might hear me say “this is my favorite oil” and I promise you when I say it, I mean it.  I just say it for so many of them because they are all equally amazing and I just can’t help myself.

USB Diffuser for Car/Office

I really never thought I would be the type of person who would be big on diffusing.  Well, was I wrong!  Diffusing essential oils have therapeutic benefits.  Many forms of bacteria linked to many of the common ailments we get, travel through the air.  Diffusing Thieves actually purifies the air while adding an uplifting scent to your home, office, or car.

A little insight on how the inhalation of products that we use every day affect your body...... 

The Olfactory System

The olfactory system includes all physical organs or cells relating to, or contributing to, the sense of smell. When we inhale through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and, almost immediately, the brain.  Molecules inhaled through the nose or mouth are also carried to the lungs and interact with the respiratory system. Thus, inhaled essential oils can affect the body through several systems and pathways.

Interaction with the Limbic System (Emotional Brain)

During inhalation, odor molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, which is commonly referred to as the "emotional brain."

The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance. This relationship helps explain why smells often trigger emotions. Knowing this, we can hypothesize how inhalation of essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects!

One of my absolute favorite Thieves Products is…… no, my 3 favorites are……

Thieves Household Cleaner

Thieves Mouthwash

Thieves Toothpaste

Okay….. 4

Laundry Detergent

Oh, heck, I love them all.  They are ALL my favorites.

The Household Cleaner is unbelievable.  It’s a concentrate that you mix in your own spray bottle.  I clean everything with it.  And by everything, I mean everything.  My shower sparkles.  You know the commercials they have for toothpaste and how the light sparkles off the person’s teeth?  Yea, that’s what the cleaner does for my shower, sinks, tub and toilet.  I use it for my countertops in the bathrooms and kitchen.  Do you know what I like the most about Thieves Household Cleaner?  You can go from bathrooms, to kitchen, to your wood tables, to your glass windows all with one cleaner.  Oh, and I forgot to mention my wood floors.  And the aroma that fills your house is just heavenly.  You can throw out all of your household cleaners (you know, the ones that omit those toxic fumes) and just use Thieves for everything.  You are actually breathing in good instead of bad. So cleaning actually makes you healthier, who knew!!

A few more uses…..

• Add to the water in your vacuum steamer to cleanse the air and disinfect the carpet/floors.
• Spray along ant trails or around windows and doors in the house to keep them out.

• All teachers, in my opinion, should be using this in their classrooms to wipe downs desks and supplies to keep the children healthy.
• Soak off burnt food in pots and skillets.
• Wipe or soak garbage cans to get them clean, sanitary and smelling fresh.
• For tough stains, pour it on as a pre-wash stain remover.
• Use undiluted to clean and kill mold on walls and floors or degrease oven.
