Thieves Essential Oil is a potent blend of Eucalyptus radiata, cinnamon bark, clove, lemon and rosemary therapeutic grade essential oils. It is best known for it’s anti-microbial and immune-boosting properties and there are as many ways to use Thieves as there are people who use it. Here are a few of my favorite Thieves applications:

During the fall and winter, I diffuse Thieves in the common area of my house by plugging my diffuser into a good old-fashioned lamp timer. Making sure there is plenty of Thieves in the diffuser, I program the timer to run 4-5 times daily for about 5 minutes each time. We also make a habit of rubbing Thieves on the bottoms of our feet before putting on our socks each morning and before going to bed each night. It is a rare occurrence for anyone in our household to be sick with a cold or flu. So tell me, how do you use your Thieves?
