thieves was the next oil I tried. this essential oil blend is a mix of clove, lemon***, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary.
it came highly recommended by my oil friend, who touted its anti-bacterial, anti-microbial value, especially during flu season.
funny thing, my 2-year-old daughter happened to get sick over the weekend after i got thieves in the mail. so, i used it...applying it to her feet every hour.
it really lifted her mood. instead of being whiny and clingy, she was able to play + she was able to go to school without missing any days!
since then, we have diffused it every school day for 30 minutes. and we apply thieves to all of our family's feet before we go out into crowds/school/work.
+ my husband has not gotten sick
+ applying it on a sore throat helped it not progress into a cold
+ my daughter has only missed 2 days of school (since mid-August)
+ my infant son has slept better if he is congested + I apply it
***lemon essential oil is sensitive to light, so only apply thieves on places not exposed to the sun, if you plan on being under the sun in the next 24 hours.
