The Ancient Oil of Thieves, from Babylon through the Black Plague: (fun story and the recipe!)

Before I get started here, caveat to pet owners. The silver is safe for pets. BUT!!!!!

Pay close attention to what you do with essential oils around pets who can get damaged organs, seize and even die from some of them. See the pet link at the bottom for ways to get rid of fleas in your yard, and keep them off the pets naturally, should the need arise with a real plague in LA or elsewhere.

THEIVES OIL Story

TL;DR

It's Black Plague Europe. People dying everywhere.

The story goes that 4 thieves were getting wealthy raiding dead people's homes for years, without getting sick. They get dragged before the Royalty for their theft. Royalty realizes they were constantly in and out of plague homes without getting sick and had no fear of the plague. They were offered leniency if they fessed up with the secret of not getting the plague. Their secret? Now called "Oil of Thieves" after the legend.

Many different versions of this story on line, so, no real single truthful sauce that reads the same as "history", other than there were 4 thieves that, when dragged before the the King or Queen, gave up their secret. They apparently soaked a rag with their essential oil mix, threw it through the window of the home of the dead person, waited for the oil to diffuse into the air (like aroma therapy) and then went into the house to get the goods. Kept their faces covered with rags soaked in the "oil of thieves".

First reason it could be true, is that paintings of doctors helping plague victims have those bird beak looking masks, and writings of the smell on their robes an masks. Docs MAY have started using essential oils on the masks to prevent catching the plague. Second reason it might be true is in the biomed links below from modern research on these many oils. (Pic 1 related is one of the masks)

Is there a recipe? Yes anons, archive this stuff:

Oil of Thieves

40 drops clove bud essential oil

35 drops lemon essential oil

20 drops cinnamon essential oil

15 drops eucalyptus essential oil

10 drops rosemary essential oil

The oils can be mixed in a dark-coloured 10ml glass bottle and then used in a diffuser, or diluted with carrier oil 1:4 human topical, minimum 1:10 pets, and only if necessary on the pets.

Used topically on the skin. Again, remove animals, as a number of these oils are dangerous an irritating to animals. Give animals a safe space when treating the home with diffusion.
