Young Living Thieves oil
Thieves oil is one of those rare gems that you come across every now and then.
For over thirty years now i’ve been playing with and experimenting with essential oils now and the healing results that i have seen and experienced first hand using different oils is impressive to say the least.
Coming into the winter months, coughs and colds and throat infections are common. Well nature and a little bit of human intelligence has provided a ripper of a remedy and i would love you to know about it.
It’s a blend of oils distributed by a therapeutic oil company called Young Living oils and the blend is called Thieves Oil.
Thieves oil
Here’s the blurb from Young Livings web site:
Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who protected themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims.
This proprietary blend was university tested and found to be highly effective fortifying defenses.
Ingredients & ORAC
- Clove (Syzygium aromaticum)
- Lemon (Citrus limon)
- Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)
- Eucalyptus radiata
- Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT 1,8 cineol).
Clove is the highest-scoring single ingredient ever tested for its antioxidant capacity on the ORAC scale.
Clove has an approximate ORAC of 10,786,875 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per litre.
How i use it
i’m pretty hard-core with my use of it apparently, but i joyfully have to say “get over it guys!”
It serves no-one having your body rule your mind. So not giving any advice, here’s me just sharing how i use it.
- Put 1 drop of the Thieves oil blend on the top of your tongue. Don’t swallow it. It’ll buzz your tongue a fair bit but you’ll get used to it pretty quick. After a couple of seconds your mouth will start to excrete saliva. Don’t swallow it. You’ve got cleaning work scheduled.
- Using the tip of your tongue, clean the front of your top teeth by running your tongue over every tooth cleaning right up into the gums. Run your tongue all over the gum area. Don’t swallow the saliva. When you’ve finished cleaning the front of your top teeth, move straight onto cleaning the back of your top teeth.
- When you’ve finish your front teeth, do the same procedure on your bottom teeth. Again, clean the front of the bottom teeth and then the back. Again, don’t swallow the saliva yet.
Healthy gums healthy you
- Make sure you get your tongue right up to the back of your last tooth. Rub the tongue over the molars both top and bottom and most importantly the gum that surrounds them. Massage your gums with your tongue!
- Use your tongue to get the Thieves infused saliva into every crevice of your mouth. Clean right into your jaw joint; the temporomandibular joint (the more you push the tongue back the more people say it buzzes the underside of your tongue).
- When you’ve finished with your gums, swish all the liquid in and around your mouth making sure every square millimetre of internal mouth space has been touched by the oils.
- And to complete the cleansing of your mouth, finish by gargling your Thieves infused saliva as deeply as you can; with the intention of coating as much of your throat as possible with the oils. DON’T SPIT YOUR SALIVA OUT!!!
When you’ve finished gargling, i believe the best option is to swallow the oil. It’s therapeutic grade which means it can be safely ingested in small amounts.
The oils are also of benefit to rid the body of parasites like worms.
Worms don’t like Thieves oil!
The regular practice of this certainly arcs up the system.
The eyes awaken, the mind clears, the awareness increases instantly!
It’s good stuff and well worth the initial sensitivity some experience.
Best of all are the results.
The feeling of a clean mouth with fresh breath is priceless.
This stuff literally destroys infection.
When we have floods here in Queensland Australia, moldy houses become the norm and a health hazard.
A couple of radio interviews later and everybody was rushing out buying clove oil to vapourise in the house and guess what? No more moldy wall!
Same thing with colds and flu… but wait there’s more!
At the first sign of a niggly throat, do the drop of Thieves on the tongue, teeth and the gargling bit, but also rub a couple of drops of the Thieves onto the soles of your feet throughout the day.
How to make a Thieves drink.
- Half fill a mug with cold water and add a teaspoon of honey.
- Then fill the mug up with boiling water and mix the honey into the liquid.
- Put one or two drops of the Thieves go in, give it a stir and there you have it.
A drink that’s medicinal and tastes great.
If you are going to give it to children I only use 1 drop of Thieves and before giving it to my darlin’s, i blow over the top of the mug to disperse the oils fumes that rest on the top.
Have a go and you’ll know where I’m coming from. Also if you wish to add extra alkalising factor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Repeat the process at least three times a day and those simple steps will have you saying good bye to a sore throat and possible a couple of days feeling miserable quick as a wink.
Wishing you all the best health and vitality can offer!
