The Four Thieves Blend

The story of the four thieves centers around the Black Death or bubonic plague that spread throughout Europe in the 14th century. The four thieves were out of work perfume and spice traders that went from house to house stealing from those who had caught the illness. They were caught and sentenced to death by burning. They were offered to be spared this punishment if they gave up the secret of how they avoided infection. They confessed and told of the secret blend of oils they used on their hands, feet, ears, temples and on a mask covering their mouths.

Antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal and immune boosting, this blend can be used topically when mixed with a carrier oil or diffused and has a complex pleasant scent.
