One of the reasons I decided to purchase Young Living oils is the blend they sell called Thieves. This blend has been touted for so many health benefits, it’s pretty amazing.
I wanted it to add to my mop and household cleaner and I’ve loved its smell ever since I used it.
When I had my horrible cough this past winter, inhaling Thieves would stop it and bring me instant relief.
I’ve placed Thieves on sores or painful areas in my mouth and had them numb completely. When the numbing sensation wore off, the pain was gone.
I’ve also used Thieves to make an “antibacterial spray” for traveling, to spray down areas and even to spray on our necks to protect us from germs.
More recently, I’ve made a Thieves throat spray (containing Thieves, peppermint and water) to spray on my aching throat. It numbs it instantly and provides incredible relief. I also know that the oils are killing bacteria at the same time.

Thieves is named after men who were able to pillage areas of Europe while a plague was killing people. In exchange for a lesser sentence, they told the king their secret: As spice dealers trapped in Europe because the ports were closed, they knew exactly which spices to use to protect themselves from getting sick. They ran out of money and resorted to stealing. They were protected by the herbs and spices they put on their bodies.
Depending on the company, Thieves oil blends may contain different oils. The oils contained in Young Living’s Thieves blend are: clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. Each one of these oils has incredible health benefits and combined they make a powerful blend to protect and heal our bodies.
One study in 2006 addressed cinnamon oil specifically and declared it to have the most potential bactericidal properties. Oils that also performed well in this study were: clove, lemon and rosemary oils. Interestingly enough, these are all oils contained in the Thieves blend.
Another study in 2009 proved the best four oils for medicinal purposes: cinnamon, lemongrass, lemon and thyme. Clove and eucalyptus weren’t far behind, showing “considerable efficacy”. The researchers used these oils successfully to kill three Candida strains, four Streptococcus strains, and six Staphylococcus strains, including MRSA.

Being able to use thieves to kill serious bacterial strains in our bodies is absolutely incredible. Using it your home can also have a two-fold benefit, though. For one, using antibacterial soaps and cleaners throughout your home is dangerous and can increase antibiotic resistant bacteria (that means when you need the antibiotics, they don’t work). Using a product like Thieves in your home stops these harmful antibacterial agents from robbing you of good bacteria and increases the likelihood that antibiotic resistant bacteria will not be a threat to your health!
The New York Times spoke to this exact subject in 2007, stating that cinnamon oil, in particular, has antimicrobial properties, perfect for household cleaning and hand washing. This is a great replacement for those antibacterial products that have become so prevalent.
You can easily purchase Young Living Thieves products from hand wash to household cleaners, lozenges to dental floss. You can also make your own, like I do. Foaming hand wash, mop solution, cleaning spray, and lozenges are all easy to make at home. It’s so worth it!
