History
The word Cypress means “lives forever.”

The use of Cypress as a medicinal oil and incense was first recorded in Ancient Egypt. The Greeks used the wood for sculpting statues of their gods because it is very resistant to decay. In Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Cypress was dedicated to Pluto, god of the underworld, associating it with death and eternity.

For centuries Cypress trees were planted in cemeteries throughout the Mediterranean as a transformational symbol of grief and the comfort of life after death.

Cypress was used historically in the US by Native people to treat many ailments and in ceremonial burns.

Botany and Extraction
Cypress is a tall evergreen tree with slender branches, small flowers, and round brown-grey seed cones. Originally native to the Mediterranean, at present it grows wild in many parts of the world.

The Essential Oils of Cypress are obtained through the steam distillation of young twigs, stems and needles.

Thieves Essential Oil
Protection - Cold Remedy - All Purpose

This is one of the most useful and talked up of all the Young Living essential oil blends. Just about every loyal Young Living user I know names it as a favorite, and there is a very good reason. It works.

History

It’s unusual name comes from a band of 15th century spice traders turned thieves who applied the oils to themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and the dying. When captured, they disclosed the formula of herbs, spices, and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for a more lenient sentence for their crimes. It is such a powerful and effective formula for avoiding the contraction of infectious disease that some 600 years later records of the ingredients in the infamous thieves blend remain. Young Living combined the original formula with what modern science has learned about the effectiveness of specific essential oils. The result is a highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-infectious oil blend that will continue to stand the tests of time..no doubt.

Studies conducted at Webster State University during 1997 demonstrated its killing power against airborne microorganisms. One analysis showed a 90% reduction in the number of reduction in harmful organisms after diffusing 12 minutes. After 20 minutes of diffusing, the kill rate jumped to 93%.

Here is a quick break down of the oils in the Thieves blend:

Clove is anti-aging, antitumoral, antifungal, antiviral, anesthetic, antioxident, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, stomach protectant, antiparasitic. Numbing for all types of pain and useful for throat/sinus/lung infections, clove also creates a sense of protection and feelings of courage.

Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that amplify immunity. It promotes circulation, leukocyte formation, and lymphatic function. A 1995 Mie University study found that citrus fragrances boost immunity, induced relaxation, and reduced depression.

Cinnamon Bark is one of the most powerful antiseptics know. It is strongly antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.

Eucalyptus is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. It’s aroma helps in clearing the sinuses and lungs.

Rosemary is antiseptic and antimicrobial. It’s aroma boosts alertness and eases anxiety.

Young Living has built an entire product line around Thieves. With everything from tooth paste and mouthwash, to capsules and a household cleaner; there are many ways to enhance your personal and household health with a Thieves product. I LOVE the Thieves mouthwash which is an amazing and breath freshening first line of defense against colds and flu. Everyone I know that has used it is sold. It’s a keeper.

One of the most convenient products are the Thieves capsules. Anytime I hear that an illness is moving through my neighborhood I pop several a day for a few days and am spared the experience of being sick. Knowing full well what I missed out on it, i am grateful every time that I keep a bottle in the house...just in case.

The Thieves household cleaner is another product I use regularly. It turns the mundane job of house cleaning or even deep cleaning into a positive aromatherapy experience. True security comes form knowing that you are killing the germs without harsh chemicals. I love how it makes my home smell.. rich and healthy.

Ps. The mouthwash, before a date... forget about it!
