Hi Catrina,
Where are you taking your online courses? I’m very interested in making my own oils and would love to learn as much as I can. I can’t stand taking pills when I know there are herbal remedies out there.

I haven’t used YL, but I blend my own using equal portions of all 5 oils. My daughter had a horrible, hoarse, hacking cough, and I finally put a few drops in the humidifier. She woke up fine the next morning! I use it for steam tents, humidifiers (it’s not good for the plastic if you use too much), disinfecting spray, and cleaning solution. It’s great, and it has a nice, cinnamonny fragrance.

Hi. I have been interested in the alternative, natural healing remedies and have dabbled in aromatherapy in its many forms over the years…mostly on myself (as a test subject) before aiding others in their quest for healing home remedies.
Recently, I lived in a home that was infused with mould (you could smell it when you walked into a room) and after about a year of living there, I became “allergic” to the house. Every morning, when I woke up, I would have to leave the house for about an hour (just to clear up my sinuses) and when it became to much during the course of the day. That’s when I researched about aromatherapy recipes to try to take care of the mould problem…I stumbled upon a Thieves oil recipe, purchased the essential oils from a reputable distributor in town, and mixed up the smallest denomination of the formula to try it out.
One thing I would like to point out to you and your readers is that when blending oils together, don’t expect them to be ready immediately. It takes about 2 weeks for the oils to infuse with each other; you may have noticed that the longer a blend of oils is stored, the aroma of the blend seems to meld together and, in essence, take on a life of its own; giving more body to the whole.
Anyway, once the blend had merged, and while I was busy packing up my little world (and running out of the house whenever the congestion got too bad), I opened up the jar in one room. Within a day, I found it easier to breath, my nasal congestion and consistently running nose would often be staved off for a time until I went into another room.
Recently, I unpacked several boxes filled with books and started to develop the same symptoms I had at my old place. I immediately went to the remaining batch of Thieves oil and infused it into the air. Once again, I found I was able to breath without symptoms. I think I will have to infuse my new home with this blend, especially when opening up more boxes, and will try the other suggested uses: such as for a household cleaner and laundry additive, just to keep my current home mould free.
Thank you for providing useful information for the masses. Without people such as yourself, it would be much harder to find information on alternative therapies like aromatherapy.

I want to order the essential oils to make my own blend of Thieves oil. Many are steam pressed. Is this process beneficial to use? I thought cold pressed was the best. Help??

used the oil as described above,it worked! tried miracle 11 neutralizer instead of the witch hazel worked and the redness went away, I have found that the virus that causes the moles is the reason for the irrritation. I am now using the thieves oil/olive oil mixture used with a glass eye dropper and a small amount applied directly on the mole starts working in about 36 hours- starts to work and itch. I had Miracle 11 Neutralizer and was amazed when it calmed things down a lot. This seems to actually burn the skin, I then applied Natues Gold a natural ointment that I have used for various things over the last 7 years and this helps the skin get back to normal, not a short process but I can see ot working and that is what has helped me feel more confident about this whole issue. If anyone has any other info or suuggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I nam using thieves oil, to get rid of some moles on my skin, some redness and some itching,witch hazel calms this down. I tried argan oil on the red areas,this calmed things down a bit. I have mixed the thieves oil with organic olive oil, any info or suggestions would be appreciated!

No doubt Thieves is a fabulous blend! I get rid of parasites on my rose bushes by diluting the cleaner and spraying them, it works great. For those looking for an alternative I would recommend snowlotus oils, they are affordable and organic, I love them
