Most of you probably know what Thieves Oil is; a blend of five essential oils, clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary that’s known for it’s immune boosting, bacteria fighting qualities.

Thieves Oil is best applied topically when mixed with a carrier oil, however it can also be used in a diffuser or oil burner (it’s wonderful in our Himalayan Salt Oil Burning Lamps) added into your favourite massage oil, made into a room spray or worn as a natural fragrance.

Thieves Oil actually dates back to the Middle Ages where the oil apparently kept a group of merchants safe from the Black Plague. The mixtures of antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties were able to stave off the Plague and keep the merchants safe.
