Four Bandits Essential Oil Blend

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

Compares to the Young Living® Thieves® essential oil blend and other companies' Four X or Antimicrobial 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 Four Bandits 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 from 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:

Rosemary essential oil is antiseptic, antimicrobial, and may be beneficial for skin conditions and dandruff.    It may help fight candida and is anti-infectious, antispasmodic, balances the endocrine system, and is an expectorant.  It helps overcome mental fatigue, stimulating memory and opening the conscious mind.

Lemon essential oil has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function.  It increases micro-circulation, which may improve vision.  It may serve as an insect repellent and may be beneficial for the skin.  It has been found to promote leukocyte formation, dissolve cellulite, increase lymphatic function, and promote a sense of well-being.  Its fragrance is stimulating and invigorating.

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. Cassia essential oil has similar properties and is Biblical as well.

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.

Eucalyptus radiata may have a profound antiviral effect upon the respiratory system.  It may also help reduce inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane.

Safety Data:  This blend may be irritating to those with sensitive skin.  Avoid eye contact.  In case of accidental eye contact, put a few drops of any pure carrier oil in the eye and call your doctor if necessary.  Never use water to dilute or rinse.

Application:  Diffuse for 15-30 minutes every 3-4 hours at work or home environment.  Apply to the bottoms of the feet.  Dilute one drop in 5 drops of a carrier oil and massage over thymus.  It is safest when applied to the bottoms of the feet, as it may create a burning sensation on the skin.  It is best to dilute 20-80 with carrier oil such as Sweet Almond oil before applying topically.  Topically, rub on throat, stomach and abdomen.  For headaches, put one drop on tongue and push tongue against the roof of the mouth.
