Thieves oil is an essential oil blend based on research of four thieves, who, during the 15th-century plague, used cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics to protect themselves while robbing plague victims. They were captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims. When the thieves were tried, the magistrate offered leniency if they would reveal how they resisted contracting the infection as they performed their gruesome acts. They told of a special concoction of aromatic herbs, including garlic, cloves and rosemary, that they rubbed on themselves before committing their crimes.

This "Thieves Oil" blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils has been used for centuries as a remedy for purifying the air as well as its healing properties internally and externally. We blended these essential oils and also added some comfrey root powder for a little color and added healing benefit. Comfrey root is a favorite herb of healers because of its amazing ability to treat injuries and irritations of the skin.
