Essential Oils for Cleaning
We love this oil blend used in either our Bench Spray or Disinfectant spray not only for its antibacterial, antifungal & antiviral properties but also it leaves a wonderful smell in the home.
The story behind the Traditional Thieves oil.
The name Thieves is based on an historic folklore about a tale of 4 Thieves that stole from the sick and dying during the bubonic plague (aka The Black Death) that devastated large parts of Europe in the 1340s.
When the Thieves were captured and put on trial the judge offered leniency on the condition they reveal what they had used to protect themselves from becoming ill with the plague. The ex-spice merchants had made up a special blend of oils they applied to their hand, ears, temples and mask over their mouth, this kept them safe from infection. The judge decided rather than the original punishment of burning alive they would be hung instead, a far less painful death!
That historic blend of: Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary is used today for everyday ills and chills or in cleaning sprays to keep germs at
