Blend: Bandit's aka Four Thieves' Blend

An updated, powerful anti bacterial and anti infectious blend based on the idea of the legendary "Four Thieves" Blend of herbal vinegars said to have been used by corpse robbers to fend off the Plagues.

According to Wikipedia: Four thieves vinegar (also called Marseilles vinegar, Marseilles remedy, prophylactic vinegar, vinegar of the four thieves, camphorated acetic acid, vinaigre des quatre voleurs, and acetum quator furum[1][2]) is a concoction of vinegar (either from red wine, white wine, cider, or distilled white) infused with herbs, spices or garlic that was believed to protect users from the plague...One interesting twist says that "four thieves vinegar" is simply a corruption of the original "Forthave's vinegar," a popular concoction created by an enterprising fellow by the name of Richard Forthave. The recipe for this vinegar has almost as many variations as its legend... herbal vinegars have been used as medicine since the time of Hippocrates...

Ingredients: *cinnamon leaf Cinnamomum verum, *clove bud Syzgium aromaticum aka Eugenia caryophyllata, *eucalyptus blue mallee Eucalyptus polybractea, *lemon Citrus limonum, *rosemary Rosmarinus Officinalis

DIRECTIONS: For respiratory infections, inhale. Add drops to a pot of just boiled water, or to a vaporizer, terra cotta pendant diffuser or essential oil candle diffuser. May also be added 1-2% by volume in a cream or lotion under clothing (not on skin exposed to light).
