From adding it to cooking recipes to using it for cleaning and freshening your home, Thieves essential oil could easily be called the ruling monarch of Young Living. In addition to Thieves for household uses, Thieves Vitality taken internally can support a healthy immune system and contribute to overall wellness.

Thieves Essential oil Young Living recipes and uses

Thieves Essential Oil

Asking me to pick my favorite essential oil is similar to picking a favorite child. You just can’t do it. Thieves, however, would be a top contender for numero uno. It is probably the one oil that I could not live without, nor would I want to.

Blend Composition

  • Eucalyptus Radiata
  • Rosemary
  • Lemon
  • Cinnamon Bark
  • Clove

Historical Uses for Thieves

This unique essential oil blend was inspired by a legend of 15th-century French grave robbers who formulated a special blend to ward off sickness. They used a combination of rosemary, clove, and other botanicals. When they were finally caught and tried, they had to divulge their recipe for the secret tonic that kept them from contracting illnesses.
