I’ll never forget the first big book report my son was assigned in school. He was asked to write an in depth report about the Bubonic plague. I was the one person in the room who couldn’t have been more excited because it was my son’s introduction to my Four Thieves formula. Four Thieves or Vinaigre des quatre Voleurs, as it was first known began as a blend that included Angelica, Wormwood, Meadowsweet, Sage, Camphor, Cloves, Rosemary & Horehound. Garlic was often added to the blend which kept about everybody away from the wearer including fleas, which were the carriers of the plague. Modern Thieves formulas included some of the more common oils such as rosemary, Clove & Lemon. Meadowsweet is only available as an extract & not essential oil but Sweet Birch essential oil could be easily replaced for the salicylates of Meadowsweet if desired. It was never my intention to reinvent the Thieves wheel. There are plenty of Four Thieves formulas out there & plenty more DIY suggestions but I feel that any apothecary should offer their house blend Four Thieves oil. Thievin’ Four essential oil blend is our house blend of uncut & undiluted essential oils using the best products we carry: organic Eucalyptus from Kangaroo Island, organic Corsican Rosemary, organic Ceylon Cinnamon, Wild Indonesian Clove, organic Lemon from Italy & a little certified organic Sage from Greece. It is a potent Thieves blend & once diluted, is useful in a variety of applications such as diffuser, cleaning surfaces, face masks. I add a few drops to hand wipes that I carry in the aromamobile to use when I’ve gone thrifting or done some other retail therapy. I’ve kept that report my son did so well on & he always has a bottle in his house of Thievin’ Four oil. Suggested uses: use diluted. Add a few drops to a diffuser to freshen the environment. Add to grain alcohol to mist on face masks or add a few drops to the mask & let sit overnight. Can be used to clean surfaces or added to hand wipes.
