So, What is Thieves? Simply put, it's an essential oil blend from Young Living which includes clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary. This essential oil blend is approved for ingestion by the FDA, and may be taken as a dietary supplement to help support your immune system. It can also be applied topically or diffused. Funnily enough, according to the company,
Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend is based on the legend of 14th century thieves who used clove, rosemary, and other aromatics to protect themselves while robbing plague victims.
Isn't that fascinating?! And kind of ridiculous! Imagine if those thieves hadn't been so resourceful or knowledgeable...It could have been a different story altogether, or no story at all!

Thanks for this recipe! We ran out of Thieves cleaner over the weekend and I knew there had to be a DIY version to use until my wellness box gets here! We’re currently on hurricane watch so I’m afraid it will take even longer. I stopped in my tracks when I saw your oily social media icons! Where did you get those little gems?

It’s ironic that this post would highlight essential oils as a safe cleaning alternative for using around pets. Essential oils are actually extremely toxic to cats. No aromatherapist would recommend them as a safe cleaning alternative for your cat to lick! Cat livers are not able to cope with EOs. Please do your research.
