Give me all the Thieves.
No, I'm not joking. I'm obsessed with all things thieves. Thieves toothpaste, thieves oil, thieves handsoap, thieves hand purifier...all the thieves...all the time.
What is the story behind the Thieves blend of cinnamon, clove, lemon,eucalyptus, and rosemary? Legend has it that during the bubonic plague of the 15th century, four thieves from Europe were robbing the infectious dead bodies of all their possessions. Somehow they stayed healthy. Once they were caught, the judge offered them a deal - their secret for a reduced sentence. Taking the deal, they shared their herbal knowledge and the powerful medicinal properties when combined in certain ways. This specific herbal blend that they had created, concocted from aromatic herbs, was HIGHLY EFFECTIVE in killing all of the airborne bacteria.
In 1997, Weber State University did a study that found the Thieves essential oil blend to have a 99.96% success rate at killing airborne bacteria. Whether the story above is true or not, we don't know. We do know the blend of essential oils are truly antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-infectious. They will stimulate the immune system, circulation, and respiratory system, and help protect against the flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, cuts, and more.
“Research conducted at Weber State University, as well as other documented research, 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. This, perhaps, offers a modern explanation why the Old Testament prophet Moses used aromatic substances to protect the Isrealites from the plagues that decimated ancient Egypt. It may also help us understand why a notorious group of theives, reputed to be spice traders and perfumers, was protected from the Black Plague as they robbed the bodies of the dead during the 15th century.” (Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition, p6)

Wellness
Thieves products can support overall wellness. How do I use these products?
I have Thieves Mints on hand - for those moments when I'm feeling the need to snack but recognize I am not hungry!
Thieves Cough Drops and Lozenges are fantastic for those dry, scratchy throats and irritating coughs.
I have Waterless Purifier sitting on my desk a work and a smaller size in my vehicle and bag.
I use Thieves Oil every day - a drop under my tongue and I haven't had a respiratory/head illness in over three years!! When I feel something coming on, I will increase my drop usage to 3-4 times per day.

Personal Care
I switched a full Thieves 'mouth' about a year ago. No more commercial dental products for me!
The toothpaste is tough on buildup, but its smooth, plant-based formula is gentle on teeth and their delicate enamel. Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon Bark essential oils, along with the Thieves blend, give this toothpaste a sweet spicy-mint flavor and freshen breath—all without synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives. My hygienist has reported my teeth look better than ever!
To complete the process, I also use Thieve Mouthwash (when I need a bit of freshening) and Dental Floss every day (for real...I actually LOVE flossing!)

Cleaning
I have so much love for Thieves cleaning products.
I have foaming hand soap in every bathroom and in the kitchen. My favorite part? Young Living offers a large refill bottle to reduce waste!
The all-purpose cleaner is a MUST have in all ways. It has replaced all of my other cleaners - I use it on counters, floors, windows, mirrors, vanities, mopboards - everywhere. I even use it on tough stains in my laundry. My favorite though? Mixing it with a bit of baking soda to create a paste that cleans...well...everything INCLUDING a shiny glasstop stove after a nasty boil over!
I have a small bottle of fruit and veggie spray in my office - just for my afternoon apple. There is nothing more satisfying (and gross) than actually watching the wax coating come off of fruit!
