This week's essential oil spotlight. . . . . . Thieves!

Hi everyone! I will be posting each week about a different essential oil. Each post will include what the essential oil is typically used for, how it is used, what plant or tree it comes from and try to give a description of its smell. Talking about oils is one of my favorite things to do so always feel free to reach out to discuss!

For this week's oil I chose Thieves. Thieves is one of my favorite blends of different oils for so many reasons! It is a delicious combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary oils that has a comforting aroma similar to when you walk into your house during the fall and someone has made some fresh cinnamon tea or cookies!

 

Thieves can be used in many ways including diffusing, topical application and ingestion.* I've used Thieves most commonly in my diffuser either by itself or with another oil-tonight was lavender. This oil is commonly used to support a healthy immune system. The other way I use Thieves is mixed into shea butter and applied on my feet before bed. There are many other uses as well, these are just a few!

There are also the wonderful Thieves products below made by Young Living such as the toothpaste, fruit and veggie wash and soak, mouthwash, hand-washing and dish-washing liquid, throat lozenges, mints and more! 

There is a lot more information about the oils that are present in the Thieves blend so if you're at all interested take a look at pubmed.gov where you can search for each ingredient of the blend and it will give you some great insight into just how much each oil can do for your health and wellness!
