Ok so I will admit, I first learned of this oil during a yoga class. Stereotypical, I know, but stay with me. It was the scent that I connected with before knowing that this was also a very powerful and natural anti-biotic. It can be used to clean your home, to keep you healthy during cold and flu season, for laundry, to diffuse, etc. In short it has an infinite number of uses.
The reason it for its interesting moniker is in its folklore and history. It was inspired by the homeopathic blend of five oils that legend has was used by four thieves - french grave robbers during the middle ages. During this time, the Black Plague ravaged the population of Europe. The thieves used this blend to protect them against the diseases borne by the bodies they came in contact with. This combination worked so well that they never fell ill. But they did get caught. Their secret to not becoming ill was so valuable that they were granted lenient sentences for disclosing it.
