Four Thieves Oil blend…
Four Thieves Oil Blend;
The story goes – in the 14th century, during the Black Death, a group of 4 men began robbing grave sites and the homes of those that died from the plague. When they were finally caught, the judge was astonished by how they were able to do this for so long without catching the plague themselves.
The men decided to trade their secret in exchange for a kinder punishment. Turns out – they had been merchants shipping spices and tea, and when the Black Death shut down their ports, they had no way to earn a living. They felt they had no choice but to turn to thievery. To protect themselves, they made a “magical” potion of herbs and spices that they breathed in to guard against the disease.
Those herbs and spices later became known as the “four thieves” blend.
