Taking Thieves Oil: My ExperiencesMy Dad finally gave into the pain of a dead and decaying tooth and made an appointment with a dentist to have it pulled. The dentist never completely deadened the nerves and finally decided he had to quit trying after more than a dozen shots. He pulled the tooth and gave Daddy a prescription for painkillers, insisting that he get them before leaving town because he wouldn't be able to make it through the weekend without them. Knowing that "manufactured" medicine always has a downside, he ignored the dentist's advice. Well, the pain did become unbearable, and Daddy searched through Mom's "oil" cabinet (we don't have, or need, "medicine" cabinets). He recognized the Thieves oil blend, put a few drops on a cotton ball and packed it into the hole. Bam! Almost instant relief! Later, he found some paper on which he had spilled a drop of the Thieves. He tore-off the oil-soaked portion, folded it, and put it into the hole in place of the cotton. He said this worked even better because it wasn't so bulky. Several beneficial things happened as a result of Dad's using Thieves oil:
Was Daddy being reckless with his health?! To me, it seems like anyone who doesn't have and use an "oil" cabinet is being reckless with their health.
When I first became acquainted with the oils, there was a day that I barely dragged through. I went to bed early that night and woke up at 11:00 the next morning. I knew I was fighting some kind of infection, but really didn't take it seriously until later. (Looking back, I should have been rubbing Thieves on my feet.) I don't know whether it was a wisdom tooth issue, a tonsil thing, an abscess, or a throat infection, but a hard lump developed at the corner of my jaw and my neck was very tender just below the jaw bone. It was painful to chew and I preferred not to eat at all. Did I call a dentist or doctor?! Nope. I haven't found one who uses the oils yet, so I have better stuff to work with in my "oil" cabinet. Do I have a fancy term for the symptoms that I experienced? Nope. I've got an "oil" cabinet stocked with the most cutting-edge medicine in the world. I put two or three drops of Thieves into about half a cup of water, mixed it, then gargled and "swished" it for a minute...until the heat from the Thieves disappeared. Then I took a couple more drops and rubbed them onto the outside of my lower jaw and upper neck. I dealt with the pain like this for two days until all symptoms disappeared. When the pain would wake me up at night, I'd get up, do the "Thieves thing", role back in bed, and I'd be amazed that the pain was already gone. I'd swish air around, stick my tongue in my cheek, and swallow, trying to find the pain again. It just wasn't there! And let's talk value! The cost of Thieves is $32.00 (Preferred Customer price) for a 15ml bottle which has more than 250 drops. That means it costs about 13¢ a drop. Each time I did the application above, it cost me about 65¢. Three days of applications ran about $7.80. That's a bargain when compared to a doctor's appointment, a prescription, over-the-counter meds, or anything currently in the typical medicine cabinet. And rather than masking symptoms and forcing my body to deal with something else later, Thieves strengthened my immune system...it was good for me! Give me some oils and sick people!!! I often battled tonsillitis, strep throat, and earaches as a kid, not wanting to eat for a week at a time because it hurt so bad to swallow. The only relief Mom could offer was a heating pad and a warm glass of saltwater with which to gargle. We seldom went to the doctor and, looking back, I’m so thankful that we didn’t. Sure, they may have offered a medication to kill the pain, but it would have only masked the root problem. Years later they would prescribe an antibiotic which (What do you know!) would have killed the infection in about a week and contributed to bigger problems down the road because of a compromised immune system. I discovered the real source of my problem quite by accident. It wasn’t that God created me with an “antibiotic deficiency” which doctors had to fix. It was my lack of care for the miraculous body God had given me. Without a doubt, the things that contributed most my throat problems were 1) pasteurized milk and 2) sugar. Now that I seldom get sore throats, the cause is even more obvious.
Guess when they happen? The week after Thanksgiving or the during
the Christmas/New Year’s Holidays…right after I’ve weakened my
immune system by compromising my diet. Notice that I don’t call
it “Flu Season. There is no connection whatsoever between viruses
and bacteria and cold weather. In fact, if we look at it logically,
we should have less germ-related problems during winter months.
Why do we use refrigerators? To slow the growth
of germs. Why doesn’t the whole nation of From now on, when you hear the words “flu season” I hope you’ll think “bad food season”. This will cause you to take responsibility for your health rather than blaming it on a big, bad, boogyman known as “flu.” A major step toward living in health is to claim responsibility for it. You will never find the true cause of an illness if you continue to blame it on invisible, scary forces over which you have no control. Is that how a person “created in God’s image” should act? Put another way, does it make a father proud when his child shirks responsibility? If “dominion over...every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” doesn’t give us power over germs, then the whole Bible is one big joke. If it’s serious, then we can appreciate the verse that says “by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat...and the leaf thereof for medicine.” Our essential oils come directly from those leaves, not from a barrel of crude oil like most prescribed medicine. (Most manufactured medicine and many herb pills is tar-based--a by-product of the crude oil industry.) Soooo, on those occasions when I cause myself to get a sore throat, I’m thankful for the oil blend of Thieves. Though hot, it tastes good. I rub a couple drops on my neck and throat, and add drops to water for drinking throughout the day. In particularly bad cases, I’ll turn the bottle up, open my mouth wide and stick out my tongue to get two or three drop directly on the base of my tongue or the back of my throat. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE ELSE. Thieves is very hot. But as soon as my eyes have stopped watering and I can swallow and breath again, my throat feels much better than it did just before the “super octane cough drops.
