Essential oils have played a key role in preventive health for generations. Legend has it that in the 14th Century, when the Black Plague was sweeping Europe, grave robbers would employ a secret weapon to guard against catching the disease from their prey. The thieves covered themselves with a blend of essential oils before making their grisly rounds–and it protected them from the plague. When apprehended, as thieves often are, they offered the recipe of their essential oil blend in exchange for leniency. Thus was born the legend of Thieves Oil.
More recent scientific studies have shown that microorganisms can’t thrive or long survive in the presence of many essential oils. Recent research done at Weber State University showed that four essential oils have the ability to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses where the oils are diffused. Because the exact composition of the oils changes with seasonal and harvest conditions, bacteria have no way to become immune to them.
