An excellent resource is the Young Living Training and Education site and this is where I gleaned this from. I have been using Thieves for years and here are some fun facts about the 5 oils that make up this awesome blend.
Thieves: Rosemary, Eucalyptus Radiata, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, and Lemon.
Let’s start with Lemon. Lemon essential oil is distracted through cold pressing, as all citrus oils are. This simply means that the rind of the lemon, not the fruit, is penetrated while rolling over a trough. Tiny pouches which contain the essential oil is pierced. Cold pressed is derived from the German words “kalt gescglagen” which literally means cold pummeled. Also, if it takes 75 lemons to produce just ONE 15ml bottle of YL Lemon essential oil, if the oils in Thieves were evenly split, so 1/5 of each (I am not sure the exact percentage of each, this exercise is just for fun), it would take 15 lemons to create the Thieves blend.
Clove originates in the Spice Island, and clove trees are fairly small, they only grow up to about nine feet and they grow best by the sea. Clove is extremely high in the chemical constituent eugenol and when I think of clove, I think of the holidays and sticking clove buds into oranges.
Did you know there are hundreds of types of cinnamon and four main varieties? This was new information to me! The four main types of Cinnamon, Ceylon, Cassia, Saigon, Korintje Cinnamon and identify them by color, taste, aroma, and appearance.
There are also over 900 different types of eucalyptus and eucalyptus is native to Australia. Young Living has three different types of eucalyptus single oils that we offer, can you name what they are?
The story behind rosemary is interesting and new to me…According to myth, the Virgin Mary is said to have spread her blue cloak over a white-blossomed rosemary bush when she was resting, and the flowers turned blue. The shrub then became known as the "Rose of Mary".
Although we use Thieves on a daily basis, especially in all of the different Thieves products, I hope today you learned something new and interesting about each of the five oils that make up our wonderful Thieves!
I like the fact on rosemary because I apply rosemary to my hair daily. It is also very good for your hair makes you smell good also. How many of you seasoned oilers have people come up to you and say you smell so good., it is very common.
The picture above is the Thieves Essential Rewards package for Canada. This is an excellent way to get on Essential Rewards as these are products that you are consuming and using on a daily basis. For more info on that or if you wish to get started just contact me and I will gladly help you.

A good place to find the July Promos if you do not follow me on FB is to go to your virtual office.click on member resources, and under business tab you will have them. This blog squeezes it together and it is difficult for you to read.
Happy Stampede for my Calgary friends and remember your Peppermint oil and apply it to the back of your neck to keep cool.
