Grave Robber’s Blend. If I had to pick one blend that we sell that’s the most useful, it’s this one. Perhaps you’ve heard of Thieves Oil? Well, those thieves were actually grave robbers. During the 1400’s in France those grave robbers put some herbs and spices around their necks and went out stealing from all the rich who had died from the plague. Then afterward they bathed in the herbs which had been soaked in vinegar. The herbs and spices kept them from getting the plague. In exchange for leniency regarding their crime they reportedly disclosed the recipe. It was called Four Thieves Mixture. In our day, it’s morphed into essential oils, and is still very powerful. Do a search online for it and read some reviews, and you’ll see.
Will it keep you from getting the plague? Maybe not. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s very powerful. For myself, I don’t like to be without it when I’m sick, or, if not sick but around those who are. It’s awesome for use with kids. In fact, diluted in a roller bottle, it’s a stress-free way to administer natural meds for children and adults alike.
Made with 5 different oils: Rosemary, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, and Eucalyptus. It’s anti-septic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-infectious. Use at the first sign of an illness, and then every 2-3 hours after and you can often head the illness off at the pass, or at the very least, shorten it. And as a bonus, it’s smells so good!

My husband has very thin skin on his arms/hands. What would be the best lotion for this. The Dr said to use alot of moisture, but would like something more natural.
Enjoy your site and info!

Hi Kathryn, have you ever tried plain Extra Virgin Coconut Oil as a moisturizer? Extra virgin olive oil if very good as well if you find a brand that’s not adulterated. We use the California Olive Ranch brand that’s reported to be genuine olive oil. Castor Oil is a very moisturizing oil as well. You would want to make sure it’s organic and in a dark glass bottle. Yes, oil is oily, but if you’re careful to not put it on too thick it will disappear into the skin fairly quickly and will work better than lotion. Black Seed Oil is good too. Hope this helps.
