Thieves is a blend of five different essential oils:
1. Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil (Cinnamomum verum)
Cinnamon is thought to promote healthy cardiovascular and immune function, and may act as an antiseptic.
You can also use it to enhance your cooking, or dilute and massage into chakras to create a soothing, relaxing sensation.
2. Clove Essential Oil (Syzygium aromaticum)
Clove has wonderful immune-enhancing properties.
Its main ingredient is eugenol, which is used to numb the gums (perfect for teething babies, diluted).
Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity and it is great to use in the kitchen.
3. Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus limon)
Lemon is so purifying and very strong. It has an encouraging fragrance and enhances mood.
It contains 68% limonene (which can be an incredible antioxidant).
I love putting a few drops in my water (it makes it taste so good that it makes drinking water more appetizing).
Lemon can be used in cooking, too.

4. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)
Eucalyptus Radiata is uplifting, refreshing and may help improve mood.
It is wonderful to use on children as it is a gentler and still very effective type of eucalyptus.
It smells great and may help support the respiratory system (including lungs, sinuses and throat).
5. Rosemary Essential Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineole)
Rosemary smells so wonderful. I love diffusing it It makes my home smell great.
It helps bring out one’s energy and may help restore mental alertness.
It is used quite a bit in hair products as well as skincare. Always dilute and it is recommended for adult use only.
It is amazing when used in the kitchen.

Come and take a look at how this wonderful Thieves essential oil blend that was discovered in the 15th century is still just as great AND effective today.

1. I have a glass spray bottle full of spring water and 10 drops of Thieves vitality.
I shake and lightly mist 5 times over my children before we go to public places.
This can give them a protective layer that smells like Fall. Love it!
2. Put a drop or two in your tea or juice to keep overall health.
3. Put one drop on the roof of your mouth if you feel a headache coming on or if you already have one.
4. Put a few drops in an empty vegetable capsule to take internally to help protect the respiratory system.
HERE, you can get 300 of them for about US$5.
5. You can also rub a drop or two with coconut oil on the soles of your feet to support your immune system.
6. Fill up a small spray bottle with spring water or filtered water.
Add 3-5 drops of Thieves to use as an insect repellant for you and for your household plants.

7. Squeeze toothpaste into a sealable jar and add a drop of Thieves. Mix well.
This will clean your teeth like nothing else can and can help with oral health and to numb gum is in pain.

8. Use on cuts, scrapes, scratches, open wounds, or anything that needs numbing and cleaning.
9. Put in mouth (mixed in with coconut oil or water) for toothaches or abrasions from braces in mouth.
10. Put one drop in water and gargle or mix with honey to support sinuses and throat.
