The history of the Four Thieves Oils
Sometimes the history of the discovery of some inventions is as interesting as their benefits. The Four Thieves Oils is one of them.
At the time of the infamous Bubonic Plague (aka The Black Death) in 15th-century France, four former perfume & spice merchants who were without a source of income at the time, commit robbery, stealing from the sick and dying without contracting the deathly disease. They are caught and brought before the court for their crime. The judges are so intrigued by how these men had stayed immune to this terrible disease that they are given an ultimatum: if they share the secret of their good health, they would be spared punishment. It turned out that the Thieves had prepared an essential oil recipe that when applied to their hands, ears, feet and the areas over their mouths and noses, it kept them safe from infection.
And that’s how the world discovered the recipe known henceforth under the name “Four Thieves Oils” that has been perfected in the 21st century by us at Optima Natura.
The Plague Doctor
From then on, the doctors who treated the victims of the epidemics also started using the Four Thieves Oils recipe, while wearing beak-like masks stuffed with cloths containing this special blend. In this way they could carry out their duties and assist the infected patients without any fear for their own health. And this is why we placed the image of the “Plague Doctor” on our packaging.
