Thieves 101 Class

We have little (and big) bottles of Thieves stashed everywhere. I consider this my go-to option when it comes to germs. My husband even used to rub it through his facial hair when he worked customer service and I swear he never got sick!

Thieves also comes in the Vitality Line! That means it is 100% approved for dietary use. Don’t let the different colored labels fool you. The exact same oil is in both bottles. I know, it’s complicated. It has to do with an FDA rule about things being labeled for internal and external purposes on the same label. You’ll receive the colored label, not the white label in your kit but I’m including ALL of the information here.

PRODUCT BACKGROUND

The proprietary blend used in Thieves Essential Oil was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic combination of clove, rosemary, vinegar, and other botanicals. French authorities recognized that there was such value in this mixture that upon the thieves’ capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula. Combining Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils, Thieves Vitality is one of our most popular products.

So I’m not going to tell you that this suddenly made cleaning fun, but it did make it easier for me to put the spray bottle in my children’s hands. Oh yeah, even the little ones. And the bottle lasts a really long time because you’re only using a cap (or two if you’re feeling froggy) at a time.

My two cents: We keep two spray bottles with Thieves Household Cleaner. One is a lighter ratio with an added tablespoon of vinegar and the other is a heavier ratio for everything else. And by everything else I really do mean everything else. From counters to the stove to the toilet in the bathroom. We don’t have a lot of square footage but every inch of it smells good.

I still have my original two foam pumps. I keep one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. I thought I would miss the variety of a certain B&B store but I LOVE the smell of this soap.

Pro Tip: This can be diluted to make two or even three bottles if you so choose. Just pour the extra soap into a glass container for storage, add an extra drop or three of Thieves or Lemon Essential Oil, and top off with distilled water. Just make sure you leave enough room for the pump or you’ll have a very clean mess on your hands. You can purchase a large refill for your dispensers here.

This stuff is intense the first time you use it but once I got past the shock…I LOVED it! I have perpetually dry mouth from my Sjogren’s that commercial mouthwashes tend to make worse. This didn’t dry me out at all! My kids will also grab this for a quick rinse anytime they lose a tooth or bite their tongue.

Pro Tip: Do not remove the inside covering from the mouth of the bottle. Instead poke a hole in the circle and then you can squeeze out the mouthwash into a cup instead of having to pour. This makes for a much cleaner bottle in the long run.

Ah Stress Away…how we love you when we’re teaching fractions. Or teenagers to drive. Or Littles to wait. The addition of vanilla to this blend really makes it feel like a vacation in a bottle. Don’t think I haven’t been caught huffing it in parking lots after clothes shopping for three girls.
