Today starts week two of my new 10 week series on using essential oils. I’ve learned so much about these beautiful oils and I want to share what I’ve learned with you. I asked the members of my Facebook group which oil they would like to learn about this week. They picked Thieves Essential Oil Blend.
About Thieves Essential Oil
Thieves essential oil is a special blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils, including clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. The blend is named after four thieves who supposedly used the oils to protect themselves while robbing people dying of the plague. Thieves oil smells AMAZING! I love the scent – it’s my favorite of all the essential oils in the premium starter kit. Here are some of my favorite uses for Thieves Essential Oil:
How To Use Thieves Essential Oil
- Disinfect surfaces for a natural clean. Just add a 5-10 drops of Thieves to a small spray bottle and fill with water. Great for cleaning toys and baby gear without the harsh chemicals. You can also make these cleaning wipes to keep on hand too! Their great for traveling. I keep a container of them in my car and diaper bag.
- Support the immune system. Add a few drops of Thieves with a carrier oil and rub on feet (great for kids). Or put a few drops in a capsule and take with water.
- Natural bug repellent. Make an all natural bug spray to keep you and your family bit free during the spring and summer.
- Use while oil pulling for an extra cleaning kick!

I know I’m seeing this website a year too late, however, I was wondering what your opinion was on using Thieves on children? Not that I believe EVERYTHING I read, but one website said “Thieves blends should be avoided in children under 10 years” –
I’ve been using it on my two year old!!!! …..
Hey there! I’m new to.oils, but have a quick question for you. The thieves oil is it ok to use on kiddos (diluted of course) I’ve seen lots of recent posts saying not to use thieves on kids under 10. Have you seen or read anything like that? Just wanting to get some advice on this if possible!
Thanks
Pick me…pick me!
I use it for cleaning!
I am interested in the immune boosting properties and bug repelling properties of thieves!
Would love to win a bottle of thieves. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thieves is amazing and I would love to win a bottle!
I have never used thieves.. But i’ve been looking for an all natural bug repellent..
I plan to use it in hand soap.
I’ve not yet used Thieves oil but learned the story when I was writing an article about cinnamon and it’s antibacterial/antifungal properties for my orchid society. I’ve always been curious to try it when there are sickies around the house! Thanks!
I would love to try this!! And all of them really!
I oil pull every day and Thieves Oil sounds like it would be a wonderful way to augment this practice. Also I am beleaguered by mosquitoes when I garden and would love to try misting Thieves Oil on myself to keep them at bay!
My Sister has used it for her son when he is sick!
I love it for fighting infection!
I LOVE Thieves. My favorite way to use it is applying it topically to my throat. I frequently have a sore throat, swollen glands and tightness in my throat. I rub Thieves on it at night and it’s always better in the morning and keeps it from developing into an infection that requires antibiotics!
I’m an actress and I unfortunately still have my tonsils in. I remember when I was working at my organic shop back home, a coworker gave me a few drops of this oil when I felt a virus coming on and it completely went away. This would really help me and my career. Thank you.
haven’t used yet but definitely want to try it <3
I use Thieves Oil as an immune booster and sore throat spray! Love it! My kids call it Christmas oil because we think it smells like Christmas spices 🙂
I use 5 -10 drops when feeling I could get sick. This really nips sickness in the bud, and I generally stay well.
I love to use thieves for cold & flu bugs. I don’t know that I’ve tried it for the bigger pests. If I win some I could give it a go.
I use Thieves in an antibiotic oil that you rub on your feet. It’s antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. I know it works for earaches and sinus infections. My son got rid of both using this!
I’ve heard so much about this oil, i would love to use it to prevent sickness!
I have wanted to try this out for a while. Maybe someday soon.
I think my favorite way to use thieves oil would be in making a natural cleaner. I’ve never used thieves oil before.
