Thieves is one of the original blends that made Young Living famous. This immune support powerhouse is a combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary. Young Living loves this blend so much, they built a whole product line based on it! You’ll find the Thieves blend in our cleaning products, toothpaste, cough drops, supplements, and more. When you think of Thieves, think purifying and immune support. The history of this oil blend dates back to the 15th century. According to the legend, a band of French thieves robbed the bodies of those dying from the plague, but the thieves didn’t contract the disease. Turns out, they were apothecaries and rubbed down their bodies with a blend of spices including clove, cinnamon, and rosemary. If it was good enough to ward off the plague, then I definitely want to be using it to stay above the wellness line!
Here is a quick roller to make with your oil! Add 10-20 drops of Thieves oil into a 10 ml roller and fill the rest of the roller bottle with your carrier oil of choice (I love fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil-check out all of my favorite oil supplies here). Roll this blend on the bottoms of your feet and down the spine every day to help stay above the wellness line. If you’re not into DIY, there is a pre-made version of this roller available!
Feel something coming on? Add 2-4 drops into an empty vegetable capsule and take as a supplement as needed. Feeling brave? Add a drop or two directly under the tongue for a spicy experience. Use caution with this message, because Thieves is considered a “hot” oil, and the clove is particularly strong!
Thieves oil makes a great tea! Add a drop or two of Thieves oil into hot water for a cozy, spicy tea with added wellness benefits. You can also add a drop or two of Lemon oil to your Thieves tea for a different taste!
Does chopping onions always leave you teary-eyed? Put your open bottle of Thieves next to you while you’re chopping to help dry those tears!
Have a splinter? Add a drop of Thieves directly on the area to help it work its way out! If you have little ones, consider diluting with a carrier oil first.
Add 5-10 drops of Thieves to your diffuser for a subtly spicy, cozy scent.
Add 3-5 drops of Thieves and 3-5 drops of Raven or R.C. to your diffuser when you’re feeling the crud in your chest. Raven and R.C. are similar in properties and uses. Raven comes in your Starter Kit, but is not recommended for use with children under six. If you have littles, make sure you grab R.C!
Add 3-5 drops of Thieves and 3-5 drops of Lemon to your diffuser for a great immune-boosting blend.
When in doubt, pair it with a citrus! Add 3-5 drops of Thieves and 3-5 drops of any citrus oil for a cozy, uplifting scent. Try it with Citrus Fresh from you kit!
Thieves also pairs well with Orange, Northern Lights Black Spruce or Believe once you’ve expanded outside of the Starter Kit!
