What is Thieves Oil?

Posted on by Caribbean Soaps

At this time of crisis with COVID-19, Thieves Oil is mentioned a lot in the press, television and social networks. We were even interviewed on the local news! There is much talk of its antiseptic properties to help prevent contagion. It has many names such as Samaritan Oil, Aceite de Ratero and Rater Oil.

What is Thieves Oil?

essential oils that make up the Thieves oilThieves Oil is a powerful combination of 5 essential oils with antiseptic properties. It is known as a natural alternative that can help against the transmission of viruses, bacteria and fungi.

It contains the essential oils of Cloves, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary.

What is the history of Thieves Oil?

It is said that the mixture originated during the 15th century in France when the bubonic plague was in all its heyday. He talks about four thieves who formulated a combination of spices to prevent them from catching up while stealing cemeteries and infected people. Eventually, they were captured and, when questioned, the authorities granted them a reduction in sentence in exchange for disclosing the recipe for the wonderful remedy. This is where we know as the oil of thieves.

How to use?

Never apply pure essential oil directly to the skin. It needs to be diluted. Check the ingredients of the rater oil you get. If you have an ingredient like olive oil, coconut, etc., it is already diluted. If not, you have to dilute it. It’s easy!

To Dilute: Add 10-12 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of base oil (such as Olive, Coconut, Almond, etc…)

Some uses :

  • Apply a few drops behind the ears, sien and palm of your hands.
  • Use in an oil diffuser if the mixture is 100% essential oil.
  • Inhale directly from the bottle or use a handkerchief with several drops of the mixture.
  • It is NOT recommended to apply direct oil to undiluted skin.
  • It is NOT recommended to ingest the oil.

  • It is NOT recommended to ingest the oil.

All essential oils used in rater oil are known to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and antiviral properties, But there is no concluding evidence that this oil can protect us from the contagion of COVID-19.

For this reason, it is recommended to use rater oil only as a tool to protect your health. Other important measures are to wash your hands frequently and correctly and if you can’t, use a sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

 

It is important to remember that these statements do not replace medical treatments and that thieves oil, or any other mixture of essential oils, can serve as an excellent complementary therapy, if used responsibly, but do not cure any disease.
