Thieves Oil and the Black Plague
History of an Ancient, Amazing and Impressive Concoction Still Used Today!
Thieves® Essential Oil Blend
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
A blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious
essential oils. Studies conducted at Weber State University (Ogden, UT)
during 1997 demonstrated its killing power against airborne microorganisms. One
analysis showed a 90 percent reduction in the number of gram positive
Micrococcus lueteus organisms after diffusing for 12 minutes. After 20
minutes of diffusing, the killing rate jumped to 99.3 percent. Another
study against the gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a kill rate of
99.96 percent after just 12 minutes of diffusion.
Thieves Essential Oil Blend Ingredients:
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is one of the most
antimicrobial and antiseptic of all essential oils. It is antifungal, antiviral,
anti-infectious.
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) is one of the most powerful
antiseptics known. It is strongly antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) is anti-infectious, antibacterial,
and anti-inflammatory.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) is antiseptic and
antimicrobial. It is high in cineol -- a key ingredient in antiseptic drugs.

Other documented research and research conducted at Weber State University in cooperation with Gary
Young, indicates that most viruses,
fungi, and bacteria cannot live in the presence of many essential oils,
especially those high in phenols, carcacrol, thymol, and terpenes.
According to the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition, page 6,
the powerful properties of essential oils may offer a modern-day explanation of why
the prophet Moses from the Old Testament used aromatic substances to
protect the Israelites from the plagues that decimated ancient Egypt. The
natural properties of essential oils may also help us understand why a
notorious
group of thieves, reputed to be spice traders and perfumers, were protected
from the Black Plague as they robbed the bodies of the dead during the 15th
century.
We highly recommend the following Thieves products:
