Nov 05, 2018

Have you ever heard of Thieves Oil? You probably haven't. I know I certainly hadn't heard about Thieves Oil until I came across this incredible historical fact. You won't believe the health benefits it offers.

Thieves Oil came about back in the 15th century when the bubonic plague was ravaging Europe. All international trade and shipping ceased when the plague hit leaving merchants and spice traders without a means to live.

As the victims of the plague were dying rapidly, the desperate businessmen saw an opportunity to make an income from their belongings. But, they didn't want to take the chance of becoming infected themselves.

Having some knowledge of the properties of spices, oils, and their combinations, they concocted a recipe, Thieves Oil, that seemed to protect them from the plague. Thus, they were able to plunder and resell the clothing and personal items of the plague victims. It proved to be a financially successful business.

And, it caught the attention of the King. As he was watching his subjects dying a horrible death and worrying about his own family's health as well as his own, he wanted to know how these bandits were able to walk among the dead and not contract this highly contagious disease. So, he managed to capture four of them.

His army brought the men before the King. He gave the men two choices. Reveal the secret of why they weren't contracting the disease or be burned alive at the stake. Since we now know the recipe, you can imagine the choice that the men made.

Essential oils are said to have a lot of health benefits. This study published in ResearchGate talks about the therapeutic benefits of Essential Oils. In the present age, you can either buy a premixed blend of Thieves Oil or make your own.

Here are a few recipes that have managed to make it down through the generations that you can easily make at home and use to protect yourself from all sorts of ailments.
