Thieves Essential Oil

I wanted to share a new find I recieved as a gift at my last Holistic Mom's group and love it! It is Thieves Essential oil from young living. The Oil of Thieves helps to boost the immune system and fights off colds and flu, while killing airborne bacteria that promotes the spread of illness.

Here is an excerpt from 100essential oils.com ...

* Use Four Thieves Oil if you have a cold or flu, or want to avoid viruses this flu season.
* Highly effective in combating phlegm, pneumonia and bronchitis

This oil was developed according to the legend about 4 thieves in 15th century England who used a blend of clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary, as well as other protective aromatics to guard their health while robbing plague victims. These men did not get sick! The oils were studied and the combination was proven to work wonders.

Here is also a link to the booklet about Thieves from Young Living. Young living is where you should buy the oil if you are interested as it is the best quality.

I have personally made a natural hand sanitizer with thieves for when we are out and about which I love as I can at times be a germ a phobe! I am also putting it on my sons feet and the back of his neck when he will be around other kiddo's where germs could be spread. Knock on wood, but he has been around some sick kiddos the last few weeks and has continued to remain healthy. One day a few weeks ago he started to get a cold and after an extra 2 doses of Vitamin C it was gone. This was the first time that his immunune system was strong enough to fight it off so quick and easy. It made me proud! :) Anyway, we have a few months of the cold and flu season left, but I am interested to see how he pulls through with some of the new things I am trying. My hope is that if he gets anything it will be short lived and easy to fight off--The way our a good immune systems is meant to be. I will keep you updated good or bad. I just want to be a resource of what is helpful.

The top 3 things I have found to be helpful are: Thieves as described above, Vitamin C daily and upping if coming down with something, and probiotics.
