Uses for Young Living Thieves Essential Oil

Thieves is a highly antibacterial blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary.  Thieves got its name from the 15th century thieves who rubbed these oils on themselves during the plague so as not to contract the disease while robbing the dead and dying.  When they were caught, they exchanged their recipe for a lesser sentence.  Thieves has a 99.96% kill rate against airborne microorganisms.

Caution: Thieves is a “hot” oil so take caution when using it anywhere other than the feet. Apply with a carrier oil especially on children. If the oil starts to “burn” apply a carrier oil right away. Do NOT use water!
