Before getting into the list of 50 ways to use Thieves® essential oil let’s cover some of the basics you need to know.

The History of Thieves

Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the Black Plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, they were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. Young Living’s proprietary Thieves oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective against airborne bacteria.1

Utilizing the power and protection of Thieves essential oil blend, Young Living created an extensive line of plant-based household products. From toothpaste and mouthwash to cleaning products, hand soaps, and even throat lozenges, the Thieves product line provides safe, effective alternatives for use in the home.

Thieves® essential oil blend is an integral ingredient in Thieves® Household Cleaner, Thieves® Spray, Thieves® Wipes, Thieves® Lozenges, Thieves® Ultra™ toothpaste, and Thieves® Mouthwash.

The Basics:

Thieves® essential oil should be always be used with a carrier oil because it contains essential oils that are considered ‘hot’ (spicy) which could irritate skin. The essential oils in this blend that are considered hot are: clove and cinnamon bark.
In most applications, mix 3-5 drops of Thieves® essential oil with 1 teaspoon V-6 (carrier oil). If you find that the application still feels a bit too warm to your skin, simply add more carrier oil to dilute.
Never use water to dilute an essential oil.
A note on V-6: The Young Living massage oil V-6 is also acceptable for topical and internal consumption.
Whenever taking an edible Young Living essential oil, such as Thieves®, internally always mix with olive oil or V-6 prior to use as a supplement. As a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as goat’s or rice milk.
Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Always dilute before applying to the skin or taking internally. Keep out of reach of children.

Thieves Essential Oil Blend Contains:

Clove† (Syzygium aromaticum), lemon† (Citrus limon), cinnamon† (Cinnamomum verum), Eucalyptus radiata† and rosemary† (Rosmarinus officinalis CT 1,8 cineol).

†Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oil.

50 Ways to Use Thieves Essential Oil

Apply 1-3 drops to cuts or open wounds to prevent infection and promote healing.
Mix with a tablespoon of water, gargle and swallow for a sore throat.

Back to School Germ Protection

September 7, 2010 in Application, Chemicals / Toxic, Cinnamon Oil, Clove, Eucalyptus, Kids, Lemon, Natural, Peppermint, Rosemary, Thieves by Jonell Elder | No comments

Germ protection for our children is important. Whether they are headed back to kindergarten or college. No matter where in the world they may be, there will always be germs that are waiting to take action. Wouldn’t you feel better while protecting them from germs, knowing that they are also not being exposed to toxins and chemicals in the product they are using?

Thieves® Waterless Hand Purifier is a chemical free product and an all-natural hand purifier designed to cleanse and refresh the hands. Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier can be used by adults and children to keep hands clean and promote good hygiene, without the use of water. Dermatologist tested and your hands smell really nice after applying. It comes in a convenient 1 ounce size that fits easily in a pocket, or purse.

While there are a number of portable hand cleaners on the market, most contain antibiotic and synthetic ingredients that kill bacteria. The simplistic nature of synthetic ingredients causes bacteria to develop a resistance and often produces offspring that are completely resistant to antibiotic treatment. The answer to this resistance lies within essential oils. The unique properties of essential oils, particularly those contained in Thieves, have proven to have tremendous effects against airborne bacteria without creating resistance. Thieves essential oil has been combined with a unique blend of all-natural ingredients to create a safe and effective waterless hand purifier.

Key Ingredients

Clove, Eucalyptus radiata, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon, and peppermint essential oils.

Compounds from therapeutic Clove essential oil can inhibit growth of oral pathogens Streptococcus mutans (the bacteria in our mouth that causes tartar/plaque/cavities is killed by Clove essential oil), Actinomyces viscosus, P. gingivalis, and P. intermedia. This is terrific news for those who are looking for alternatives to chemical ingredients and fluoride found in most dental care products. The savvy consumer will also want to know that all clove essential oils are not created equally, but I’ll discuss that later in this article.

Importance of Brushing Teeth with the Best Dental Products

Researchers at Tokyo Dental College noted that more than 300 different species of bacteria are found in populations of several hundred billion in the human oral cavity. They estimated that this number reaches a thousand billion when the mouth is not sufficiently cleaned.

Our horse had a huge abscess in his foot, which blew out a chunk of hoof; leaving a section missing, a huge crack, and deep infected internal pocket. He was completely lame, unable to go clockwise at all in any gait. I treated this by first flushing it with peroxide and it literally smoked! His ankle and hoof were hot to the touch and the ankle was swollen and hot.

I went back the next day with my essential oils. I scrubbed the frog with Thieves Hand Soap, rinsed, irrigated with peroxide which still smoked, then injected my Clove, Oregano and Thieves mixture into the crack then wrapped it with gauze to hold in any oil that leaked out.

When I went back the next day, the ankle was perfect; he was no longer favoring his injured foot. It was no longer hot, or even remotely warm. Again I injected peroxide… no smoke. I injected my essential oil combo and let it be.

What an awesome, no antibiotic, fast, healthy, alternative treatment to an infection! My lame horse of 36 hours previous was now cantering away, and happy to do it!

The farrier was out 3 days later… his frog was completely healed with no signs of any internal abscess, not foot tender at all. The barn owner calls it “the voodoo that I do”! Read the rest of this entry »

Treating Deep Infected Puncture and Laceration Wounds Without Antibiotics in Horses, Animals, Pets with Essential Oils ~ Essential Oils and Animal Wounds Infections

June 25, 2010 in Alternative Therapies, Application, Clove, Disinfectant, Essential Oils, First Aid tips, How do I use, Natural, Oregano, Pets, Thieves, Using Essential Oils, Wellness by Tammy Baile | No comments

Treatment of a deep puncture wound with laceration and infection was not something I had experienced as yet with our horse, which he soon remedied. Our horse injured himself with a deep puncture wound and laceration on a Sunday, most likely from a nail in his paddock fencing.

When I talked to the barn owner on Monday, he told me it was deep enough that I should consider calling in a vet for an open debridement and stitches. I went Tuesday morning. When I saw him, the swelling around the wound on his neck was slightly larger then the size of a tennis ball, deep, clearly sensitive to the touch, and it was clear he was unhappy at best. I flushed the wound copiously with peroxide. I’m a big believer in Essential Oils. I made a blend of Pure Therapeutic grade Essential oils, mixed them with 15 drops of water, and slowly irrigated them into the wound with a needle-less syringe, paying particular attention to the puncture “hole” in the wound. The wound at that time was clearly infected. I could see pus deep within the wound. I believed wholeheartedly that the Young Living Essential Oils would work, however, everyone was telling me he needed antibiotics and open debridement with stitches.

I went and repeated this essential oil irrigation on Wednesday. The wound was only slightly less swollen. The horse was in pain. I did call the vet, who came on Thursday. Read the rest of this entry »

Systemic Lupus, arthritis, fatigue, pain constant chronic have been a daily part of my life for the last 20 years. I have wonderful doctors who have managed my disease as well as everything that comes with it, I am so grateful that I am blessed to have these wonderful doctors treating me. The one thing that no one has successfully managed is my pain. Although I used pain patches with oral pain killers, sadly the most they ever did was “take the edge off”. I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils, They have had a positive profound impact in my life. I rarely use pain patches at all, have gone from eight plus heavy painkillers a day to 1 or 2, some days none!

I use a blend of Young Living Essential Oil anti-inflammatory oils (clove, oregano, Nutmeg, lemon, rosemary, basil, chamomile, lavander, peppermint with a few others) on my affected muscles, joints as well as my spine. Typically within 3-5 minutes at most I start to feel relief, shortly there after I am pain free. In 60 days my Sedimentation Rate has dropped 30 points and I no longer take ANY oral anti-inflammatory medicine!

Additionally, I was previously on a chemotherapy drug called Methotrexate to manage my disease. I am now off of Methotrexate for the last 30 days, I do not plan on restarting it. And, let’s be honest, when you’re in pain, chronically, it affects your mood and appearance to others. I can honestly say I am now in a better, if not good, jovial, happy uplifted mood almost every day. It just feels amazingly wonderful to be pain free the majority of the time for the first time in 20 years. Read the rest of this entry »

The colon or bowels? Nope, it’s in your mouth, the back of the tongue to be specific! The back of the tongue is literally teeming with pathogenic microorganisms.

There are…

“More bacteria per square inch live [on the back of the tongue] than on any other part of the body.” ~ Dr. John Richter founder of the Richter Center for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Breath Disorders

The problem is that few people use a toothbrush to remove these bacteria as part of their dental hygiene regimen. And even if the tongue were to receive a thorough scrubbing, many bacteria would remain and quickly repopulate the mouth.

“The terms oral health and general health should not be interpreted as separate entities. Oral health is integral to general health.”

A Link to Heart Disease

At the 2001 annual session of the American College of Cardiology, researchers were stunned by new research that showed that gingivitis is actually linked to heart disease. Read the rest of this entry »

Big Black Ants in My Kitchen Killed by Thieves

April 3, 2010 in Application, Best Essential Oils, Buy / Purchase, Cinnamon Oil, Clove, Gardening, How do I use, Insect Pests / Repellant, Make My Own, Natural, Recipes, Thieves by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

A few days ago we noticed the big black ants were back again after taking the winter off, so to speak. Night before last I did a little experiment, after the last glass of lemonade was poured I left the pitcher sitting on the counter (unwashed and unrinsed).

When I got up the next morning there must have been about 20 big black ants inside the pitcher. This pitcher does have a lid, not tight sealing though as it has a spout, so it’s never really airtight.

I reached under the kitchen sink for my spray bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner and ever so slightly lifted the lid of the pitcher and gave several sprays. Within 5 minutes all of the ants in the pitcher were dead. Read the rest of this entry »
