D. Gary Young developed the formula known as THIEVES essential oil blend. And now, today's scientists confirm that the same essential oils the robbers used during the medieval plague - Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus and Rosemary - are powerful antimicrobial agents.
Hundreds of Scientific Reports Confirm Antimicrobial Action of Essential Oils in Thieves Blend
"In recent years (1987-2001) a large number of essential oils and their constituents have been investigated for their antimicrobial properties ... in more the 500 reports. Essential oils of spices and herbs (Thyme, Oregano, Mint, Cinnamon, Sage and Clove) were found to possess the strongest antimicrobial properties among the many tested." (D. Kalemba; A. Kunicka. Current Medicinal Chemistry. Vol. 10, No. 10. pg. 813-829)
Thieves essential oil blend was proven to have a 99.96% effective rate against airborne bacteria, during rigorous testing at Weber State University, Ogden, Utah. (Essential Desk Reference. 2nd ed. pg. 123)
Now the power of Thieves can be found in over a doze products, from toothpaste and mouthwash to cleaning products, hand soaps, and even throat lozenges. The Thieves Family of Products offers safe, natural alternatives to toxic, mass-marketed personal and home care products.
