I am interested to know your experiences with thieves oil. I am thinking of getting some to help with bacteria and viruses in our house.
I put thieves oil on the bottom of my feet at night . . . best winter yet as far as illnesses go. My acupuncturist gave it to me.
That being said, I do lots of other stuff too . . . so I can't say for sure if it's the thieves oil.
My friend that is an aromatherapist told me to only use it when sick. Cinnamon oil and oregano are also anti-bacterial and anti-viral.
Thieves oil is a mixture of different oils.
Thieves Oil Recipe
200 drops of Clove Oil (Syzgium aromaticum)

I LOVE it and use it all the time and no one in the house has been sick for the last 2 winters!!!!
I believe Thieves oil is a brand name, so I cant comment on the oil from young living. I have although used a type of thieves oil from another brand and it had the same properties. I totally believe that it is keeping us healthier. I work in childcare and use it there as well and frankly our kids do not get sick very often. We have a health nurse that comes in and she is always saying we are one of her healthiest centers. I believe its because of using the oil. Give it a try you have nothing to lose!
