Guardian Essential Oil Blend

Highly anti-infectious, immune stimulant. Warm, spicy aroma. A blend of finest Clove, Orange, Cinnamon, and Cassia.  A MUST HAVE oil!

Compares to the doTERRA® On Guard® essential oil blend and other companies' Four X or AntiMicrobial Blend as well as our very own Four Bandits Blend, just a more economical version by using just the right proportions of Cassia to replace some of the high costing Cinnamon Bark.  If you want a comparatively identical oil to "Thieves®", go to The Oil Shoppe's Four Bandits Extra Strength Essential Oil Blend.

Use a drop of Guardian on your toothbrush for halitosis problems, add a small amount to your all-purpose cleaner or multipurpose soap for extra disinfecting impact, diffuse oil to purify the air and kill airborne bacteria, rub oil on your feet before you go into an environment where you may pick up germs, use oil in a spray to kill mold and mildew, dilute and rub on your throat anytime a sore throat starts, etc.

This blend was created to be similar to the recipe for vinegar of the four thieves, some study done about a group of 15th century thieves who rubbed oils and aromatics on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying.  It is assumed they also inhaled these oils by smudging the herbs.  When authorities caught and arrested these guys, the thieves disclosed the formula of herbs, spices, and oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for a more lenient sentence.  Documentation of this can be found in the Dictionary of Medical Science, dated 1873, found in the Library of Congress, written by R. Dunglison, M.D.; among other sources.

The oils used in this blend are highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and help to protect the body against such illnesses as flu, colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, etc.

The Ingredients:

Orange essential oil has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function.  Its health benefits can be attributed to its properties like anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-spasmodic, anti-septic, aphrodisiac, carminative, diuretic, tonic, sedative, cholagogue. and promote a sense of well-being.  Its fragrance is relaxing and calming.

Cinnamon essential oil is the oil of wealth from the Orient and part of the anointing oil formula the Lord gave Moses (Exodus 30:22-27).  Cinnamon oil was regarded by the emperors of China and India to have great value; the emperors' wealth was measured by the amount of oil they possessed.  Traditionally, it was thought to attract wealth and abundance.  Physically, cinnamon bark oil has many attributes.  It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, antiviral, and anti-fungal.  It is also a powerful purifier and oxygenator, and it enhances the action and the activity of other oils.

Clove has the highest known antioxidant power as measured by ORAC (oxygen radical absorbent capacity), a test developed by researchers at Tufts University to accurately measure free radical scavenging ability.

Cassia essential oil is effective in countering viral infections and gives sound protection from cough & cold, influenza and other viral diseases. It also inhibits microbial growth and protects from microbial infections. This property is useful in treating microbial infections in urethra, colon, kidneys, urinary tracts and other parts.
