Thieves Oil

[MorelCabin]

This blend was created from research about a group of 15th century thieves and grave robbers who rubbed oils on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying. When apprehended these thieves disclosed the formula of herbs, spices and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment.

This blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils was tested at Weber State University for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves oil was found to have a 99.96% percent kill rate against airborne bacteria. The oils are highly antiviral, antiseptic,antibacterial,anti-infectious and help to protect the body against such illnesses as flu, colds, sinusitis,bronchitis,pneumonia, sore throats, cuts etc.

Apply few drops to bottom of feet or stomach and rub into skin

Here is the receipt for the mixture place into a small brown bottle and add the amounts of herbs listed below


Clove oil (syzgium aromaticum) 200 drops or 1/2 ounce.

You know, my husband told me about this, but he didn't have the recipe. Cool that you posted the recipe.

Morel, you can add Lime, Orange, Lavendar, Lemon Grass, pine and Citronella to the list of anti-microbial EOs.

I use the citrus and lavender EOs in my massage lotions for a dual purpose. They are powerful antibacterial and antifungals...which means I don't get to come in contact with any little skin nasties when I am massaging, and they keep my lotions from going rancid from being heated and reheated.

Be very careful with most of these astringent EOs, like the citrus, as they can burn the skin when used in large quantities in a carrier oil. If not in a carrier oil and rubbed directly on the skin they can burn and excoriate the area.

I know this from personal, and painful, experience!

Thanks for the recipe.

It would seem odd for thieves to have these precious oils in their possession, given how expensive spices were back then. Wasn't the lucrative spice trade part of the reason Columbus received financial backing?
Oh, well, they were thieves after all.
