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.
