Thieves Household Cleaner

History of Thieves:

Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the Black Plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, they were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. Young Living’s proprietary Thieves oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective for cleaning and purifying. 

Clove oil, nature’s richest source of eugenol, is the highest-scoring single ingredient tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale. Clove is also known for its immune-supporting properties.*
With 68 percent d-limonene

Lemon oil is a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to act as a natural solvent and cleanser.

Cinnamon bark has a reputation for relieving discomfort during the winter season and supporting the digestive system.

As one of the most versatile of the eucalyptus oils, Eucalyptus Radiata has many health-promoting properties. This powerful essential oil contains eucalyptol as one if its major elements, which in laboratory tests has been reported as being effective against bacteria in topical applications.

Rosemary oil is naturally energizing and may be beneficial for helping restore mental alertness when experiencing fatigue. 

Diffusing Thieves essential oil blend with Young Living’s patented diffusing system creates a safe and simple means of filling your home with therapeutic benefits. Diffusing Thieves adds an extra layer of protection by purifying the air while adding an uplifting scent to your home.
