Thieves is a blend of 5 oils based on the legend of 3 French thieves caught robbing plague victims in the 15th century. They were promised a light sentence if they revealed their secret to not getting sick:
Clove (Syzygium aromatic) bud oil
- anti-aging, antitumoral, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory
Lemon (Citrus limon) peel oil
- immune stimulant, relaxing, helps with circulation
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) bark oil
- anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anticoagulant, antifungal, circulatory stimulant
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) leaf oil
- antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, expectorant
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf oil
- anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, modulates hypertension, protects liver
I'm including the Latin names because it helps to be specific. There are four different kinds of Eucalyptus oil and you don't want to get them mixed up!
Look at all the neat properties of these oils. Imagine their combined power? Thieves is a great oil to include in you healthcare regimen. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.
