Thieves® Oil Blend is formulated with highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious essential oils. Thieves® Oil Blend was created based on research of a group of 15th century thieves in France who protected themselves by rubbing themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims.
This Young Living proprietary blend was university tested and found to be highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health. This proprietary blend has also been documented to kill over 99.96% of bacteria it comes into contact with.
Thieves® Oil Blend - use directly from bottle, diffuse, or dilute with purified water to spritz.
Ingredients:
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) has a sweet, spicy fragrance that is stimulating and revitalizing. An important ingredient in Thieves® Blend due to its wonderful immune-enhancing features, its principal constituent is eugenol, an element that is used in the dental industry to numb gums.
Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale.
Lemon (Citrus limon) has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that amplify immunity. It promotes circulation, leukocyte formation and lymphatic function.
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum) has the wonderful cinnamon scent loved around the world. Warming and stimulating, it is comforting during the cold season. Many people find it highly romantic.
Historically, cinnamon was so popular it was the main reason behind the occupation of Ceylon by first the Portuguese, then the Dutch and then the British.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) is cooling, refreshing and energizing. Lighter in smell than Eucalyptus globulus, it nevertheless has many of the same health-supporting properties. Because it is relatively gentle and non-irritating, it is the preferred choice for children.
This variety is one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils and is suitable for topical use, diffusing, and even direct inhalation. It has long been an ingredient in some of our most popular blends.
Rosemary* (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) has a fresh, herbaceous, sweet, slightly medicinal aroma. An energizing oil, it may be beneficial for helping to restore mental alertness when experiencing fatigue.
What is Anti? — “Against”
What is Microbial? — “A minute living organism, minute forms of life, which are capable of causing disease including bacteria and fungi.”
Essential Oils create an unfriendly environment which becomes deadly to disease causing bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.

When anyone in our gang starts getting a sore throat, we give them a squirt or two of our homemade throat spray. We use a glass spray bottle with about 2 ounces Young Living Mouthwash and about 10 drops of Thieves oil added. We shake before each spray and usually dont hear from them a second time.

Ive found that gargling the Thieves Mouthwash brings immediate relief to sore throats. Gargling was more difficult for my son when he was younger, so I made a sore throat spray, adding Thieves Mouthwash and a few drops of Thieves Oil to a small spray bottle. Just a squirt or two toward the back of his throat does the trick.
While the taste isnt that great, the relief is amazing! Even my son would request the spray to experience the relief. I do have to tell him to keep his mouth open, as one time he closed it and got the second squirt on his skin, which I think stung a bit.
I had sore throats from chronic tonsillitis growing up, and then had my tonsils out when I was 18, so I no longer get the intense sore throats that I used to, but I still experience relief with this spray. If we get sore throats, its usually when detoxing, so its nice to know were not adding more toxins to our bodies in seeking relief.
