Tell me about Thieves Essential Oil
Recently I've seen references to Thieves as an amazing product to have in your health arsenal. Please share any experiences/comments. Many thanks!

Blue, I make my own although you can buy it pre-made. I have a lot of essential oils and it's more economical for me to make mine.
I posted a recipe for it on another thread. I make it and put it in little spray bottles for my purse instead of buying those hand sanitizers that are loaded with unhealthy ingredients. If you do a google search it will come up. I also use many of the ingredients to make my own house cleaners. |
It works great as a disinfectant and smells so good. Buy from a reputable company. I use Young Living oils.

I use it when I feel a cold come on...I put a few drops in a glass of water and drink it. It doesn't mix well, so I swirl it a lot. When I start getting a sore throat I swab it way back where it hurts and it always takes care of it. Clove bud oil also works well for me. I haven't had a bad cold in years since doing this. Great idea to use it for your hands when out in public! Does anyone else use baking soda water to stifle a cold? I start drinking that immediately (about a half tsp to a glass of water) when I feel a cold could be coming on and it nips it in the bud. Sometimes I need to do it several times, but if I stay on top of it, it works. Hate getting sick!!

Makes a great room deodorizer and lasts a long time. We used it when we had a B&B. I got so I didn't like the smell, so make sure you do before investing in much.

SusieQOH would you refer me to the thread you gave your recipe in.

Thieves Oil
I swear, since I've been using natural products I never get sick!! It's been about 3 years and I believe I've had one cold. That's it. I use natural products on my body and in my home. EDIT- For the spray in my purse I will use plastic as I use it up quickly. But for my cleaning products I use either cobalt or amber glass bottles. I use either Young Living or Doterra oils. There are some other good ones too but you have to be careful. I don't buy mine on Amazon. I don't trust some of the sellers. And I agree with Patrice- the cleaners on the market are loaded with nasty chemicals. I haven't bought them in a looong time. |
Susie, do you buy your oils at your local health food store?
|
Blue- no, I use Doterra but there are other good ones out there. I used to have an account and bought a lot so I have most of what I need right now. A few reputable companies:
Doterra Young Living Miracle Botanicals Mountain Rose Herbs I know there are others as well but can't think of them at the moment. I have bought from all the above and love the quality. I'm not one to ingest oils. I know some people do though. Hope this helps :) PS. I don't buy them from Amazon because I'm never sure of the source. |
