The Story of Four Thieves Recipe

Chances are you have heard at least one version of the 17th century story of the "four thieves" and their secret formula or recipe.

There are many variations of this story, including four thieves, five thieves, spice traders, apothecaries, etc., and how they survived the Black Death or Black Plague.

Each story has it's own list of herbs, spices, oils and vinegar's that they rubbed all over their bodies. I have heard that there at least 17 different versions. 

Spice Traders had Immunity from the Black Plague

The most famous or popular story is about a group of spice traders who turned into thieves after an outbreak of the highly contagious and deadly Black Plague. It is reputed that the "four thieves" were protected from these highly virulent germs as they robbed the bodies, even going into the homes, of dead and dying plague victims.

During the course of their plundering, and grave robbing, four of the thieves were caught by the king’s men. Standing before the king, the four thieves disclosed the secret of their immunity, their secret recipe, in exchange for a more lenient sentence. After learning the four thieves secret formula, the king had the thieves oil recipe posted throughout the city.

It is my understanding that the "Story of Thieves," is recorded in the Royal English Archives.

Benefits of Diffusing Thieves Oil

Diffusing  with an essential oil diffuser is a great way to support a healthy respiratory system for all household members.

Inhaling diffused Thieves® Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil can support healthy lungs, a healthy immune system, and support healthy sinuses.

In addition to diffusing throughout the day, you can diffuse Thieves essential oil in the bedroom at night, during sleep. It is a wonderful way to support healthy respiratory, lung, sinus, and immune health. 

The benefits of diffusing thieves not only include adding a warm and pleasant cinnamon aroma to your rooms but it also freshens the air naturally.

Immune Support

 Thieves® is an amazing oil for supporting a healthy immune system. This is the main way our family uses it. This is the first oil we use, along with Lavender. It truly has powerful healthy immune supporting properties.

For additional healthy immune support, I increase the frequency of applications.There are occasions when I apply Thieves topically along the spine every 20 minutes for the first hour, then every 30 minutes over the next 2-3 hours, and then I taper off to every few hours. I always dilute the essential oil when I increase the frequency, due to the increased chance of skin sensitivity.

I massage Lavender and Thieves into the lower back and then into the muscles up along the spine. I also vita-flex Thieves Essential Oil into our feet.

Massaging the feet and back is not only relaxing and therapeutic but it also gives a healthy immune system quick support.

Topical Application:

Thieves oil can be diluted and massaged directly into the skin to support and aid the immune system.

Two very effective areas to massage are the feet and up along the spine. You can also apply it to the chest over the lungs.

The feet have reflex points that when massaged will support specific areas of the body. See vita-flex points on the feet.

Always dilute for babies, children and pets.

Test for sensitivity

Diluting Thieves essential oil in vegetable or carrier oil before applying to the skin is recommended. The bottom of the feet is always the safest place to use and test oils, especially on children and those with known sensitivities or allergies.

The bottom of the feet is also a highly effective place to use the oils due to the large pores there.They are absorbed here easily and quickly.

For your health and safety always test for sensitivity first!
