Description


Potential Benefits


Thieves+ is valued for its ability to enhance the flavor and aroma of foods and beverages, offering an enriched sensory experience. Although primarily a flavor enhancer, the essential oils that compose it have been the subject of numerous studies and are valued in aromatherapy and ethnobotany for various reasons.



  • May add a warm, spicy flavor profile to a variety of dishes and drinks, from teas and smoothies to desserts and stews.

  • Helps enrich culinary experiences with its distinctive and complex aroma.

  • Offers a natural way to introduce the essences of clove, cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary into the diet.

  • Its concentrated format allows for customizing the intensity level in preparations.


It is important to remember that essential oils are potent substances and should be used in moderation and with caution.



Precautions and Interactions


Although Thieves+ is a safe product for food consumption in appropriate doses, it is crucial to observe certain precautions due to the potency of essential oils:



  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Do not exceed the recommended dose.

  • Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with a carrier vegetable oil (such as coconut or olive oil), not water.

  • If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have any pre-existing medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Citrus oils can increase photosensitivity. Although Thieves+ is consumed internally, it is generally good practice to be aware of this property, especially with lemon oil.

  • For internal use, always dilute in liquid or food. Never ingest undiluted.

  • Pay attention to any adverse reactions. If you experience discomfort, discontinue use immediately.


It is essential to listen to your body and use essential oils with respect for their potency.



Storage


To maintain the integrity and potency of Thieves+, it is important to follow these storage recommendations:



  • Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Essential oils are sensitive to light and heat, which can degrade their aromatic and chemical components.

  • Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent oxidation and evaporation.

  • Store in its original dark glass container, which is designed to protect the oils from light.

  • Avoid storing near strong chemicals or pungent-smelling foods, as essential oils can absorb ambient odors.


Proper storage ensures that Thieves+ maintains its quality and efficacy throughout its shelf life.



Frequently Asked Questions



Can I add Thieves+ to any food or drink?

Yes, you can add Thieves+ to a wide variety of foods and beverages to enrich their flavor. It is ideal for herbal teas, coffees, smoothies, juices, as well as for flavoring desserts, sauces, marinades, soups, and stews. However, given its potency, it is always recommended to start with one or two drops and adjust according to personal taste. It is important to avoid adding it directly to very cold drinks where it does not dissolve well, or in excessive amounts that may be overwhelming.




What is the difference between Thieves and Thieves+?

The main difference lies in their classification and use. Thieves (without the '+') is an essential oil blend intended primarily for aromatic and topical use. Thieves+ (with the '+') is the food-grade version of the same blend, meaning it has been purified and formulated to be safe for internal consumption as a culinary supplement, following applicable regulations. Both share the same synergy of aromas, but their regulated application varies significantly.




How many drops of Thieves+ should I use?

Due to the high concentration of essential oils, it is recommended to start with 1-2 drops per serving in food or beverages. For complete recipes, the amount may vary slightly. It is always best to start with a minimum dose and add more if necessary until the desired flavor intensity is reached. Avoid exceeding 3-4 drops per serving unless a specific recipe indicates otherwise, and always consult the manufacturer's recommendations.




Do I need to dilute Thieves+ before internal use?

Yes, although Thieves+ is food grade, it is recommended to dilute it in a liquid or food base before consumption. This not only helps distribute the flavor more evenly but can also help mitigate the intensity of the concentrated flavor and prevent possible irritation. For example, mix it in honey, a consumable carrier oil (such as extra virgin olive oil), juices, or incorporate it into meal preparation.

Composition and Active Ingredients


The heart of Thieves+ lies in its synergy of carefully selected essential oils. Each component contributes its own characteristics, creating an aromatic profile and a set of properties that define this exceptional blend. The ingredients that make up Thieves+ include:



  • Clove Essential Oil (Syzygium aromaticum): Known for its sweet and spicy aroma, and its traditional use in various cultures.

  • Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil (Cinnamomum verum): Provides an unmistakable warmth and a sweet and spicy flavor, valued both in gastronomy and for its aromatic properties.

  • Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus limon): Offers a fresh and vibrant citrus note, which complements the spices and provides a clean and lively touch.

  • Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil (Eucalyptus radiata): With a fresh, slightly sweet and clean aroma, different from eucalyptus globulus, it is a component valued in blends for diffusion and topical application, and in this case, in formulations for internal use.

  • Rosemary Essential Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis): Contributes with its herbaceous and stimulating aroma, known for its multiple uses in wellness and cooking.


These essential oils are obtained through steam distillation or cold-pressing processes, ensuring the purity and integrity of their aromatic and chemical components, which makes them suitable for use as a food supplement.


📋 How to Use


Dosage


Thieves+ is designed for culinary use and as a food supplement. Incorporating essential oils into your diet requires a careful approach due to their high concentration. Below are general guidelines for use:



  • In beverages: Add 1-2 drops of Thieves+ to your favorite drink. It is excellent for enhancing the flavor of herbal teas, coffees, juices, or smoothies (such as NingXia Red). You can start with one drop and adjust according to your taste preference.

  • In cooking: Incorporate Thieves+ into your recipes as a potent seasoning. You can add 1-2 drops to baked goods, sauces, marinades, or savory dishes such as soups and stews. Given its intense flavor, it is recommended to start with a very small amount and taste before adding more.

  • Homemade preparations: It is an excellent addition to spiced honey, vinaigrettes, or salad dressings, always diluting appropriately.


Remember that a small amount is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Always ensure proper dilution if you are applying it internally in large quantities or in non-fatty liquid preparations.

Jesse · ★★★★★ · Verified purchase

Love this.

I love the smell of this oil. I put it on my dryer balls and diffuse it in the air to help germ fighting. It smells so good after using the dryer balls I get compliments on my “perfume” all the time just from the smell it leaves on the cloths. Great size for the price as well.

It smells amazing!

I've even added 2-3 drops in some warm water and lemon for added protection and it was soothing. Not sure about its germ fighting abilities just yet but I rub it on the soles of my feet nightly all the same.

Great product

Plant Therapy's essential oils are excellent quality, I thoroughly researched the company before purchasing. I have many of their oils and I've never been disappointed with the quality and performance. I diffuse this blend to prevent catching airborne colds and viruses. I also massage it on my neck, chest and feet when family members are dealing with colds. I absolutely recommend this brand for essential oils.

Great product

I have been using this blend at work in my diffuser, and everyone who walks into the room comments on how great it smells! I love knowing that this combination of oils is great for the immune system, which is needed this time of year, especially because I work in a health care setting. Highly recommend!

Germ fighter blend essential oil

I don't know if it really has germ fighting properties but it has a nice scent - this is a blend of rosemary, eucalyptus, lemon and clove, plus others I don't recognize......it has a cinnamon-y spicy scent. Small bottle and a bit pricey but I will buy again.
