Since Fall is in the air, I thought I would focus on all things warm and cozy. When I think of an essential oil that feels like Fall, Thieves Essential Oil is the one that comes to mind. And Thieves is, hands down, the most-utilized oil here at The Mountain Retreat (aka the home of Paul & Penni Aschenbrener). Here’s a little background about Thieves Essential Oil:
🌱
“Thieves is a most amazing blend of highly antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-infectious essential oils.
It was created from research based upon legends about a group of 15th-century thieves who rubbed botanicals on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying. When apprehended, the thieves were forced to tell what their secret was and disclosed the formula of the herbs, spices and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment.”*
🌱
How interesting is that! The essential oils in the Thieves blend are Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata and Rosemary.
🌱
But even more convincing is a study conducted at Weber State University in 1997, which demonstrated the killing power of these amazing oils against airborne microorganisms. The analysis showed that after only 10 minutes of diffusing Thieves into the air, harmful bacteria was reduced significantly! The Thieves blend is unique in that it kills harmful bacteria while not killing beneficial bacteria, according to Kurt Schnaubelt, PH.D., an essential oil expert. That’s great news in light of what we’re all dealing with in today’s times!*
