Essential oils isolate and attack only the pathogenic bacteria and leave the beneficial bacteria intact. Essential oils oxygenate our cells, building our immune system, while they combat bacteria, virus and fungus. Essential oils such as Young Living's Cinnamon, Oregano, and oil blends such as Thieves may one day be all that we have to fight mutated microbes, the new diseases and new forms of old diseases. It is absolutely essential that people who are in contact with the public use Thieves on the bottom of their feet daily. Most people have discovered that they can use Thieves, undiluted on their feet because the skin is thicker and less sensitive.
Thieves is almost certain to produce a severe burning sensation on any other area of the skin.
Therefore, be sure to use it in combination with Young Living's V-6 carrier oil. Wherever you decide to use it, be sure to test a very small area first. Many are finding that Thieves is excellent in the prevention of gum disease. We know that plaque is produced by bacteria and that Thieves is very effective in killing bacteria. Keep in mind that Cinnamon can act as a solvent.
