I recently read some interesting research done on a variety of essential oils. The Journal of Food Safety reported that oregano and cinnamon have the best resistance to certain kinds of pathogens.

Researchers tested an experimental tomato-based film infused with essential oils to be used in various food packaging to ward against bacteria like e-coli, salmonella, and listeria. The study showed out of all the oils tested oregano and cinnamon had the best results in eliminating these dangerous bacteria on contact in vapor form. Researchers also tested clove and garlic essential oils with good results. Clove, as you know, is a key ingredient in Young Living’s Thieves® products.

Below are PDF links to the essential oil research:

Another recent study cited in the New York Times showed that cinnamon oil has antiseptic properties. View the entire article here.

Hello there! I’m Christina Moore. Some of you may know me as the “Let’s Make a Deal” lady from convention 2006. I started working at Young Living in 2004 in Distributor Network Services. Currently, I am Product Manager over the Thieves product line. I feel lucky to be over this line of products because they represent something I can truly get behind and support. Each sink in my apartment has a Thieves Foaming Hand Soap (with at least 20 in storage) and the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is completely spray down the bed, pillows, and blankets with Thieves Spray. It is my goal to continue to bring you quality Thieves products.

Now, take a minute and think about all the places you visit in a day or in a week’s time. It’s probably quite a few. Now think about all the germs, dirt, and bacteria you’ve likely come into contact with at all those places. I know…GROSS!

We all have hectic and busy schedules that take us many different places. If you’re like me, you go to the bank, grocery store, dentist office, auto repair shop, school, and let’s not forget public restrooms. While most of these places are covered in things we’d rather not imagine, the good news is we don’t have to take “souvenirs” home with us.

Here’s one way Young Living distributor Ivy Levinson uses her Thieves oil:

“I could not get my stainless steel refrigerator clean using anything until I used a diluted spray of Thieves and water. It works like a charm to wipe away those fingerprints, plus it gets rid of any germs that are on the surface.”

Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) Thieves® essential oil blend is based on a historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves with clove, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. When captured, these thieves were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for the recipe that protected them from the plague. Thieves essential oil blend was created to offer the same kind of defense against modern airborne bacteria. In fact, studies conducted at Weber State University showed it to have a 99.96 percent success rate against airborne bacteria.

Thieves essential oil blend has myriad household uses. Here’s what Young Living distributor Amy Umberger had to say:

“I am a resource teacher in an elementary school and have many students in and out of my room every day. Especially during the colder months, many of them have colds and viruses. I spray down my reading table, chairs, pillows, stuffed animals, and even book baskets with Thieves Spray a couple of times a day. I stay healthy and the room smells great! One child said he likes my room because it smells like Christmas.”

Though it’s hard to choose a favorite, when people ask me what my favorite Young Living product is, I have to say that it’s Thieves® Household Cleaner. I use this product every day in more ways than I ever thought possible. Every load of laundry and each time I turn on the dishwasher, I add a capful. When cleaning the bathroom or scrubbing my floors, I always reach for my Thieves House Cleaner and the germ-fighting power of Thieves essential oil blend. When I got grease on a favorite sweater, it was the only thing that worked. I’ll never go back to harsh, synthetic cleaners again! Just ask my friends and family, I’ve converted them too.

Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the black plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, the thieves were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe.
