On the Eighth Day of Christmas....

On the 8th day of oils, my true love gave to me....a bottle of Thieves oil!

(And we've never been healthier!!!)

Do you know the story behind Thieves oil? It's easy to Google and find it. During the 15th century, there were a few perfumers and spice traders who created a concoction of aromatics, coated themselves with it, then went and pillaged the bodies of the dead and dying, staying well themselves. They amassed a sizable booty, were eventually caught and in lieu of a lesser sentence, they divulged their secret recipe. Thieves essential oil blend was inspired by the thieves' blend of clove, rosemary, cinnamon, lemon and eucalyptus.

This oil is a staple in our house because of the way it supports our immune systems. I take 2-3 drops of Thieves Vitality daily in a capsule for regular immune system support, but I ramp it up to as much as 12 drops 2-4 times daily when I feel I need more help than I would on a normal day. We also diffuse Thieves, often with Purification when anyone is not quite feeling themselves and when needed, we fix a cup of tea, add a bit of honey and 1-3 drops of thieves to help alleviate occasional throat discomfort. This oil is a hot oil, but it's one that we sometimes rub right on our gums and teeth for oral care.

We love that thieves has been infused into all kinds of products that we use daily. We've completely replaced all but one of our cleaners (one with bleach for cleaning our white, porcelain, kitchen sink) with the Thieves cleaner. We've saved a TON of money doing that and we love how safe it is for both the humans and fur babies in our family. It smells SO GOOD, too, and it cleans really well!

Did you know that there’s also Thieves toothpaste? Personally, I can't stand natural toothpastes, but after reading reports over the last few years regarding the harm regular toothpaste is doing to our bodies, I decided to take the plunge and try both Thieves Aromabright and Thieves Detarome Ultra. I instantly fell in love with both options and have never gone back to the one I had used since childhood!

Hand purifier, mini-spray, foaming soap, mouthwash, laundry detergent, dish & dishwasher detergent, fruit and veggie wash, cleaning wipes, MINTS (YUM!!!), cough drops, hard lozenges and more - so many Thieves products to love, so many ways to help you stay healthy and well!
