History of Thieves Oil
The history behind the origin of Thieves Oil or Four Thieves Vinegar may depend on who you're asking. In some versions, the mixture was concocted by thieves during the Middle Ages in Europe who would use the oil to support their immune systems when robbing the graves and homes of plague victims.** In others, thieves who were in custody and forced to bury the dead plague victims would use this oil for the same purpose.** Some may also say the Four Thieves Vinegar derives from Forthaves Vinegar, a blend originally created and sold by a man named Richard Forthave in the 15th century.** No matter the origins, the purpose of Thieves Oil has always been the same: to support the immune system and aid in the cleansing of body and home.**
