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 against airborne bacteria.

Utilizing the power and protection of Thieves essential oil blend, Young Living created an extensive line of natural household products. From toothpaste and mouthwash to cleaning products, hand soaps, and even throat lozneges, the Thieves product line provides safe, natural alternatives for use in the home.
