Thieves the Day


I couldn't think of a better oil to feature for a new year than Thieves. I mean, if you haven't tried it, are you even living?


"In France during the 15th century, thieves would sneak into graveyards to rob from the dead and dying. Legend says they protected themselves by creating a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals. Today Thieves essential oil blend is inspired by those tales of old. Combining Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Lemon oil, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils, this blend is one of our most popular products. Use it with household cleaning products or diffuse it to freshen up a room.

Thieves essential oil blend joined the Young Living family in 1994." - Young Living

 

About

"Thieves essential oil blend has a warm, spicy scent. Diffuse it for a fresh, clean aroma around the house or apply it topically for its cleansing properties." - Young Living



Benefits:

Includes the naturally occurring constituents trans cinnamaldehyde (Cinnamon Bark), limonene (Lemon), and eucalyptol (Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary)


Uses

Topical: Add to V-6 and use for a foot massage.

Aromatic: Diffuse 6–8 drops to help create a cozy, peaceful environment. Customize your Thieves experience by adding a few drops of Orange, Tangerine, Nutmeg, or Lemon Myrtle essential oil. Refresh musty carpets by adding 5 drops of Thieves to a cup of baking soda; combine well and let sit overnight until the oil is absorbed. Sprinkle over carpets and vacuum thoroughly. Add a few drops to your Thieves Dish Soap or Thieves Automatic Dishwasher Powder to eliminate odors and boost cleaning. Add to any of your Thieves cleaning products.


Pairs well with...

Clove (be cautious around animals), Cinnamon Bark, Orange, Lemongrass, Tea Tree (do not use around animals), Christmas Spirit™, and Lemon essential oil

 

Diffusing Oils

Here are a few blends to get you started.


If you've never diffused oils before, all you have to do is get your diffuser, fill to the full line with water and then add 6 drops of oils. Most diffuser vary in size and time, so be sure to read the instructions. Some even have some really neat lighting options. If you want to get started with a diffuser, we can help you!


To clean, you'll want to clean about once a week or in between strong blend changes.

  1. Turn off and unplug your diffuser.

  2. Wipe out the reservoir with a wet cotton cloth.

  3. Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and clean the ultrasonic plate to remove any extra buildup.

  4. Rinse the reservoir with water; then wipe it clean and dry up excess water with a soft cloth.

  5. Add water and essential oils; then diffuse away!

"Welcome the fresh, clean fragrance of Thieves into your classroom or playroom to neutralize strong odors in the air. Create an inviting ambiance by filling your living room or kitchen with the spicy, homespun aroma. Surround yourself with the comforting scent at your desk for an uplifting and cozy workday. Counteract odors near trash cans by flooding the air with this delicious, homey fragrance."
