If I were stranded on a desert island and could on If I were stranded on a desert island and could only have three oils with me, Thieves would be one of them! Thieves oil blend was created from the research of a group of 15th-century thieves who robbed the bodies of the dead or the dying. These robbers rubbed oils and spices on themselves to support their immune systems. When apprehended, they disclosed the formula of herbs, spices, and oils they used in exchange for more lenient punishment. It contains 5 oils in this blend: Cinnamon, Clove, Lemon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary. Thieves oil blend is a key ingredient in many products. All the Thieves products are wonderful for supporting the immune system at any time of year. My kids love the 2oz Thieves spray and hand purifying gel. They smell amazing and do a great job purifying their grimy little hands. Pro Tips Add 1 drop of Thieves Vitality Oil to a cup of warm water as part of a wellness regimen. Tastes great and adds a spicy zing in apple juice, apple cider, or even in a spoonful of olive oil. Add 1 drop Thieves Vitality Oil to 2 drops Orange Vitality Oil essential oil as a refreshing flavor. Share your Thieves tips below!

I share more on the “how’s” of this in a video on my IGTV, but I wanted to give you a quick reference list! For most of these, except peppermint bc it’s strong, you can rub them along your brow and temples as well as on your palms. Joy: emotional traumas, painful memories, and heartaches. Lifts the spirit and reduces depression, anxiety, and grief. Sandalwood: when a person is overly emotional, trapped in dependency issues, or has faith concerns Harmony: when someone feels trapped in their situation or feels ignored in life. Clarity: helps to dispel feelings of repression and guilt. Peace and Calming: helps relieve indecisiveness, moodiness, and the fear of being a victim. Peppermint: feelings of dependence and failure Lavender: feelings of abandonment Lemon: feelings of sadness and frustration (avoid for sun exposure if you apply on the face) Frankincense: slows and deepens the breath, creates a sense of calm. Oils for emotional support is one of my favorite things to talk about!! If you have any questions, shoot me a DM!!
