It’s that time of year again when everyone starts getting
sick! School children, college students and anyone working around a lot of
other people are especially affected, and boy does it suck! While there are
lots of things you can do and preventative measures you can take to minimize
your chances of getting sick, one of the more fun options is to utilize the
Legendary Blend of Thieves. It smells fantastic, can be used in a myriad of
ways, has a fun story to back it up and is an easy way to get essential oils
into your life regularly. What’s not to love?
The legend
goes that during the plague there was a band of thieves who went around robbing
the deceased victims of this terrible illness- and they did it all without
catching the plague themselves! When they were finally caught by the king’s men
they traded their secret recipe in exchange for their lives. Our Thieves recipe
is based on the same one found in the Royal English Archives from the 15th
century and is a little piece of history in every bottle.
This
ancient recipe consists of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Rosemary and Eucalyptus
essential oils, and though this formula started a long time ago, we now have
scientific evidence to support the time-tested results of the Legendary Blend
of Thieves. For example, Weber State University has conducted research on Thief
oil showing that it has a 99.96 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria.
Research has also shown that this Legendary Blend of Thieves interrupts bacteria and interferes with the ability of viruses to replicate.
Additionally, the individual oils of cinnamon and clove have been shown to
completely disable the ability of viruses and bacteria to live in their
presence.
As you can
see, that old band of thieves really did have something going for them! Our
personal favorite way to utilize the Legendary Blend of Thieves is to diffuse
it so that the essential oil particles are airborne throughout our homes and
even office! However, you can also use it to clean your home, place a dab neat
on your wrist or behind your ears, or mix it into a DIY body and pillow spray
you can mist over yourself and your things whenever you like. This formula is
an RSL staple, and if you haven’t yet tried it, now is literally the perfect
time to do so.
