I have been using my Premium Starter Kit for months now and a few of the oils instantly became my favorites. Young Living Thieves Essential Oil is definitely a great everyday oil. I use Thieves Essential Oil as an immune boosting oil.
Everyday Essential Oils
I started with the Young Living premium starter kit because it was the best value and it would give me a chance to experience some of the most common essential oils. Along with the diffuser, the premium starter kit includes the basic ten everyday essential oils: Thieves, Joy, Valor, Purification, Lemon, PanAway, Frankincense, Peppermint, Peace & Calming and Lavender.
I have been using my Essential Oils Pocket Reference to learn all of the different ways to use the Everyday Essential Oils.
The Story of Thieves Essential Oil Blend
The Thieves Essential Oil Blend was created based on research about a group of 15th Century thieves who rubbed oils on themselves to avoid getting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead and dying. When apprehended, the thieves were forced to tell what was in their blend of herbs, spices, and oils that they used to protect themselves in exchange they would receive a lenient punishment. (Source)
Ways to Use Thieves Essential Oil
- Immune Boosting: I rub 1 drop on the bottom of my feet or diffuse Thieves in my Home Diffuser to help support my immune system.
- Throat Tickle: I gargle 1 drop of Thieves in a few ounces of water whenever I get an occasional tickle in my throat
- DIY Thieves Spray: I mix 1/4 tsp of sea salt with 5 drops of Thieves in a 2 oz glass bottle then fill the rest with distilled water. I use the Thieves spray to sanitize surfaces.
- Oral Care: I add 1 drop of Thieves to my 1 Tbsp of coconut oil that use for oil pulling each morning. And at night I add 1 drop of Thieves to my all natural toothpaste.
- Mold: I mix 2-3 drops of Thieves with baking soda and water to create a cleaning scrub for the bathtub or in any area I need to clean to get rid of mold. If I can’t use my homemade cleaner, I will diffuse Thieves in my Home Diffuser that came in the Premium Starter Kit in the area with the mold.
- Fever Blisters: I apply 1 drop (or less) of Thieves with a little coconut oil to the fever blister at least 3 times a day until it disappears.

Because I love Thieves Essential Oil so much I decided to giveaway a 5 mL bottle. The good news about essential oils is that a little goes a long way (1-2 drops per application) so the bottles can last quite a while. Due to the cost for me to ship the prize, the Young Living Thieves Essential Oil giveaway will be limited to U.S. residents only. Young Living does ship to certain countries outside of the United States so if you would like to try using essential oils consider becoming a distributor/wholesale member. Giveaway ends July 25, 2014 at 12:00 AM ET.
