16 Ways to Use Thieves Essential Oil

The Story of Thieves Oil

Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical tale of four thieves in Europe who protected themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing the dead and dying. 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 as it did in the fifteenth century. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective in supporting a healthy immune system. Clove oil, an ingredient in Thieves, has an ORAC score of over 10,000,000. Clove oil is the highest rated antioxidant in the world.

Thieves essential oil blend is highly concentrated, a drop or two works wonders.

Young Living Convention 2017 New Products

Leave a comment


It’s Young Living Convention time. I am usually attending but this year I had to miss because my husband, Mark, recently underwent major surgery and still needs care. I am keeping up on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.


Every year a bunch of new products are released. Here are the products released for Young Living Convention 2017. There are 58 new items this year added to Young Living’s already awesome product line. The new products will be available to purchase on Monday, June 19, 2017.




A nice Swag Bag is always given to convention attendees. I have loads of awesome bags collected from attending Young Living Conventions and other events. They always impress me with the quality of the items in the Swag Bag. Some years we got backpacks. I prefer the bags. 😉


Attendees received a bottle of the convention blend My Destiny. This year I am really wishing I was there to get that bag.
This blend combines Deep Relief, PanAway, RC, Raven, Live Your Passion, and Lavender for an invigorating, crisp, minty and inspiring aroma that motivates you to set and reach your goals.

Apply topically for a soothing and uplifting experience after physical or mentally challenging activities.




Fulfill Your Destiny essential oil blend: provides an empowering, clarifying, grounding aroma and an empowering atmosphere that encourages professional confidence and drive. May help soothe the appearance of healthy-looking skin.


Desert Mist Ultrasonic Diffuser: (Item #21558) Designed to look like a beautiful and elegant vase. It has multiple settings: high runs approximately 5 hours continuously, low runs approximately 8 hours continuously, intermittent runs 1 min on/1 min off for approximately 10 hours. It has 11 different light settings that can be turned on or off independent of diffuser function. This diffuser includes a romantic candle-like flicker mode with a light cycle mode so colors transition gently from one to another.

The question most asked about the new sunscreen is “Why only 10 SPF?” Here’s how to answer. answer. It’s broad spectrum. New information is coming out about using too high of a block. We are now drastically D deficient because we are not allowing any sun in. We only need to reapply as needed based on the natural SPF of your own skin. It’s a different method of use. A better, more healthful method. Also there is no real evidence that higher SPF is more beneficial. Based on the Vitamin D issue, we are now seeing the negative effects of these “too high” SPF products.

Support Your Healthy Immune System With Citrus Oils

Citrus oils are among my favorite oils. They smell so good and they are very mood uplifting. Any of the citrus oils are great for diffusing. They clean and deodorize the air while also lifting the mood.


Caution: Citrus oils are photosensitizing, so avoid applying to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or UV light.


Lemon Oil has immune supporting properties. It is purifying and uplifting. I often use lemon oil to clean my hands when in public places.


Lemon Oil has been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles and those occasional pimples we all get every now and then.

Orange Oil is known as a “happy” oil, nurturing feelings of joy and peace. Because of its ability to help support the body’s normal cellular repair processes, orange essential oil makes an uplifting, complexion-brightening addition to any skin-care regimen, while its uplifting, citrus scent can aid relaxation and help lift occasional feelings of crankiness.


Grapefruit Oil is a great complement to any weight management plan. A key ingredient in our new Slique blend, grapefruit has an uplifting scent shown to help create feelings of satiety, support metabolism, and cleanse the body.


Tangerine Oil contains esters and aldehydes that are sedating and calming.


Try tangerine and lavender together to relax before bed time and get a good night’s sleep. Rub them on your feet or take a few drops each in capsule.


Or … Add a couple drops tangerine and lavender to chamomile tea.


The citrus oils are amazing! They neutralize acid in your body and balance Ph and they are just awesome for supporting your healthy immune system.


Citrus oils are wonderful to use in cleaning. Make a spray bottle of water with 15-25 drops of lemon oil to clean in bathroom or on kitchen surfaces.


Did you know that citrus oils have very high levels of limonene? Limonene is one of the highest antioxidants, it protects our cells and is a wonderful support for healthy body systems. Of course, we are talking about therapeutic grade essential oils that have been processed correctly and aren’t adulterated.

Uses For Lemon Essential Oil

lemonLemon oil is a favorite among Young Living Distributors. Citrus oils are extracted by cold pressing the rind of the fruit. It takes about 75 lemons to make one 15-ml bottle of Lemon essential oil


Lemon oil is known to have powerful cleaning properties which make it wonderful for use in your home, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. I often add a few drops of lemon oil to cleaning solutions for extra cleaning properties. Mix a drop in a teaspoon of water & wipe the kitchen counter and cutting boards. It makes the kitchen smell fresh too.


Add lemon oil to a spray bottle of water and spray surfaces in the bathroom and anywhere else you want to clean or deodorize. It also sanitizes the bathroom fixtures. It is great for diffusing to purify and deodorize the air. If you don’t have a cold diffuser, add a few drops of oil in a spray mister bottle with water and mist the air.


Using 1-2 drops of Lemon oil works well in removing gum, oil and grease spots.


Window Cleaner Recipe
1 quart spray bottle
White Vinegar
10-15 drops of Lemon Essential Oil
Fill bottle half way with vinegar
Fill balance of bottle with water and essential oil.
Shake & Use.


Garbage Disposals: A great way to freshen you garbage disposal is to put your lemon or orange peels in it.
Or, use a few drops of citrus oils! About five drops of orange or lemon makes the garbage disposal smell great!


A few drops of oil may be added to the dishwasher to help clean and purify. Some popular oils besides lemon are pine, orange, tangerine, and peppermint.


To clean hard floors, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Then add 5-10 drops of lemon and pine.
If the floor is especially dirty, add Thieves Cleaner. This will clean even the dirtiest floor.


Carry lemon essential oil to clean your hands when in public places. Use a drop of lemon to disinfect your hands after using public restrooms. Also remember to use lemon to clean hands after touching door knobs, shopping cart handles and other surfaces in public areas.


Lemon oil has a high limonene content of between 54-72%, which is excellent for supporting a healthy immune system.


Use lemon oil to clean minor cuts and scrapes.


Mix 1 drop lemon in half glass of warm water. Mix well then gargle.


Put a couple of drops of lemon oil in your drinking water to purify the water. It also tastes great.


To clean and increase the shelf life of fresh fruit, fill a bowl with cool water and 2-3 drops of Lemon oil. Drop your cleaned fruit into the water and stir. Be sure all surfaces of the fruit contact the lemon water.


Lemon oil cleans the skin. It may also help brighten a pale, dull complexion by removing the dead skin cells.


Works well in removing gum, wood stain, oil, and Grease spots.


Caution:
Citrus oils are photosensitizing, so avoid applying to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or UV light.

Experiences With Lemon Oil:


I love using Lemon Oil on the vinyl floor in the bathroom it takes all the scuff marks off with no effort. I use Lemon Oil to clean everything in the bathroom, and then I run some very hot water in the sink, put the stopper in the drain and plop a few drops of Peppermint Oil in the water. I swish it around, and the aroma fills the room, I let the water run out of the sink and the next few times that people wash their hands, and run hot water into the sink, it smells great! — Deirdre

I thought that lemon might do the trick given something that happened recently that I’ve been meaning to post.


We have a Wok that we use pretty regularly. One night a few months ago, the person who was supposed to do dishes (not me..lol) decided to let the dishes sit till the next morning. We awoke to find the Wok basically unusable since the oil had hardened to a point that no amount of scrubbing would get it off. I’m sure all you cooks know of what I speak.


We tried many times…soaking and scrubbing and nothing worked.


Last week…we used the Wok the way it was and I was cleaning it. As per usual, I add a couple drops of lemon oil to my dish water and noticed something odd happening to the Wok. So I added a couple more drops of Lemon oil to the Wok to be sure.


AND…without putting any muscle into it…the hardened oil had started coming off. I kept scrubbing and wiping and it all came off in a few minutes. I was amazed and glad I didn’t have to buy a new Wok!! — Lauren

After cleaning fish lemon oil removes fishy smell from fingers instantly!


It’s also good to use in the dishwasher for sanitizing and fragrance! Lemony clean smell will fill the room when opening the machine. Nice! — Denese


***


Got another one for using Lemon oil also. After reading Peggy’s testimony about removing the double sticky tape it reminded me of it. My youngest son had fallen asleep with gum in his mouth. Anyway, the next morning it was in his hair… There were about 3 good spots that it was really a mess. I snipped out a little of it with scissors and then got out my Lemon oil. Put a drop on my fingers and rubbed them together with the gummy hair between them. WOW! Came right out! Didn’t take a whole lot either. I’ve also used Lemon oil to remove gum from clothes. Wish Lemon oil came in BULK size!! LOL!! — Lori
