Our skin is our biggest organ and is capable of absorbing a surprisingly large amount of what we put on it. Let us give you all the information you need to know about Thieves Essential Oil Blend and the 12 ways to use Thieves for a naturally healthier home.
Why Use Natural Cleaners?
Using natural, plant-based products is one of the best ways to prevent exposure to the chemicals found in many cosmetic and household products. It is so important to read ingredients and to gain an understanding of what we are putting on our skin, in our homes and ultimately back into the environment.
Nature has provided such an amazing array of ingredients that are gentle yet powerfully effective and work on multiple levels. Certain plant-based ingredients, like essential oils, not only help with skin care but have positive effects on mood and state of mind. Here at Nezza Naturals, our guarantee is to use only high-quality, plant-based ingredients for the best results.
The first step to a healthier body and environment is understanding which toxic chemicals are commonly found in cosmetics and household products so that they can be avoided. Part of our commitment to our customers is to share this valuable information and help consumers make informed choices about the products they use.
The Story of the Thieves Blend
During the Black Plague in the 15th Century, a group of perfumers from Marseilles robbed deceased plague victims and miraculously did not fall ill from the highly contagious disease. Once caught, they were offered a lesser sentence if they revealed their secret... which was this combination of therapeutic essential oils!
Turns out the rich, spicy, and earthy aroma is only the start of its benefits!

12 Easy Ways To Use the Thieves Essential Oil Blend For A Healthier Home
1. Diffuser Blend
Add 3-5 drops of Thieves essential oil to your diffuser . This warm inviting scent will freshen the air as well as protect your home from airborne pathogens.
2. Shower Steam
Place 2-3 drops of the essential oil onto a hot washcloth. Keep with you in the shower away from the direct stream of water. The steam from the warm shower will disperse the aroma and healing properties into the air for you to enjoy.
3. Room and Fabric Spray
In a 2 oz spray bottle, add 15 drops of Thieves essential oil blend. Fill the bottle halfway with Witch Hazel and top up the rest with distilled water. Shake to combine. Spritz upwards into the center of the room or over top of soft coverings and bedspreads. Not too close! This is a misting.
4. Multi-Surface Multi-Purpose Cleaner
Naturally disinfect surfaces for a great clean. Just add 5-10 drops of Thieves essential oil to a small spray bottle and fill with water. Spray on, wipe down. It’s that easy to clean safely and effectively.
5. Bathroom Clear
For sinks, soap scum, and tougher grime, mix 6-8 drops with baking soda. Scrub, rinse, and wipe the area dry. Works especially well on bathtubs, wash basins and tile flooring for a deep clean that leaves a sparkle.
6. De-Stickify
Use to dissolve the gummy adhesive left on items from price labels. Apply ‘neat’ and wipe away.
7. Laundry
Add a few drops to your laundry cycle for cleaner, fresher smelling clothes. You can also add to your washing machine self-clean cycle to disinfect and get rid of the damp smell.
8. Salve
Heat a couple of inches of water in a pot on the stove. In a glass vessel, combine 10 drops Thieves essential oil blend, 3 Tbsp jojoba oil, 2 Tbsp coconut oil, 1 Tbsp cocoa butter and 2 tsp beeswax. Heat until melted. Pour into salve tins and leave to cool. Apply to the chest and neck before bed to soothe blocked nose and stuffy chest.
