What is Thieves?

Young Living Thieves® Essential Oil is a proprietary blend of five different therapeutic grade essential oils. The blend includes clove, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus.
How did Young Living come up with the blend?
“I must tell you that I have read 17 different versions of the Thieves story,” says Gary Young the founder of Young Living, “Some that claim there were four thieves and others that claim there were 40! Many of these legends took place in the 15th century, but still others put the date in the 18th century. The formulas also varied from one story to the next, but through my research, I was led to four key botanicals that were mentioned again and again. Those ingredients were clove, cinnamon, rosemary, and lemon—four of the same ingredients that make up Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend today.
“The legends speculate that the thieves believed that wearing this special combination of botanicals provided protection while they were stealing. French authorities recognized that there was such value in this mixture that upon the thieves’ capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula to the king. To round out my modern Thieves formula and add another element of protection, I included eucalyptus, which would have been rare to find in those days.”
