The story behind Thieves goes back many centuries in history. And more importantly, it is important to first understand that the use of essential oils and aromatics goes way back in ancient times….
… back to the time of the Middle Ages and trade along the Silk Road. Back to the time of the Romans, who in turn brought the oils from Egypt, where Cleopatra wielded the scepter and took care of herself with the help of all kinds of essential oils, and even centuries before that the Greek philosophers were already taking oils and knowledge from that same Egypt! But much further before that, the shaman (herbalist, priest, oracle, witch, sorcerer, or simply healer) used the juices of certain plants, trees, flowers, fruits, etc. as early as 2000 BC to treat tribal people who had physical or spirit-induced ailments. These people were held in very high esteem within their tribe, people or region.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, the dreaded black plague killed citizens of all walks of life across Europe. The medical profession was powerless – they had no cure and no prevention. All people could do was stay as far away from plague victims as possible. The plague continued to make regular appearances until the 18th century.
Yet there was an intrepid gang of thieves who robbed the plague victims and their graves of all their jewelry and valuables. Incredibly, the thieves themselves never contracted the highly contagious disease. This was unheard of.
One day, as fate would have it, the brazen thieves were caught anyway. They received severe punishments for their crimes. Death by hanging! Public opinion, however, demanded to know their secret. However, if they were hanged, no one would ever find out!
So under enormous public pressure, the judge in question had to make a deal with the thieves. Would they really share their secret how they protected themselves from the plague in exchange for a less lenient sentence?
The thieves accepted the deal.
During the negotiations, it turns out that the robbers were not ordinary thieves. No, they were spice traders and perfumers who had traveled the Silk Road. Because of their knowledge of essential oils and spices, they learned exactly which oils to smear on their bodies to protect themselves from the germs of the plague. The court clerk on duty recorded their composition of the concoction during the trial and stored it in the court archives.
Of course, retrieving documents from the 15th century is no easy task, let alone court archives. D. Gary Young managed to unearth these important documents after an exhaustive search; and thus the contents were revealed.
Young Living’s Thieves® essential oil blend is based on this long lost recipe and named after the thieves who first used it. When using Thieves® oil, these ingredients synergistically combine the benefits of general wellness and the support of a healthy immune system.*
And while there are other companies trying to manufacture a product similar to Thieves®, no company may use the exact recipe and no other company consistently uses 100% therapeutic grade oils of the highest quality that is found in Thieves®.
* Due to different laws in various countries, e.g. not everywhere the Thieves® Waterless Hand Sanitizer may advertise “kills 99.99% of germs”.
That 1 cap can make an “all-purpose” cleaner of 500 to 750 ml (water)?
So from 1 bottle of Thieves® Household Cleaner, you get about 32 bottles of detergent for about €0.83 each….
If you want to make a stronger cleaning product, you can always add more Thieves® Household Cleaner to the water.
So: Clean and cheap!
Anticipating February…
On February 5, we will be hosting a day for all of Young Living’s Business members: Virtual Kick-Off 2022. A great day of inspiration, education, training and fun with indispensable speakers. Mary Young, Director and Co-Founder, will give a special speech especially for the day.

This Saturday, January 22, there will be another Young Living Day?
On this Saturday, we were finally going to open our home and office again and introduce everyone interested in Young Living and 100% natural living to Young Living’s amazing products….
Unfortunately, with the current measures, it is still not “allowed” to organize this, but that does not mean that we will not do it next time!
We assume that the Young Living Day in April ( when is the next one) can just be celebrated with all our acquaintances and friends. So this time we will do it one more time only online.
Young Living Day is the day that new products are introduced; there are entire groups that organize workshops or even entire conventions around this day. You can take a rain check from us for a convention like that next time.
We don’t know yet what exactly will come from Young Living, because that will only be announced a few days before January 22nd, with the solemn vow that we will not tell you until that day…
Curious about what’s to come? Keep an eye out on our Social Media and we’ll start showing you teasers!!!
A new product was released today that we were looking forward to ordering in the USA last year. Why we wanted it, well it’s a set of essential oils made to work synergistically for personal development.
Daniëlle is going to use this trio as an aromatic companion in her continuation of personal development this year. How wonderful when they come ready and waiting to support you in creating space for change. To create space for awareness and expand thoughts. To help put the energy of your creativity back into motion?!
