How to use thieves for premature baby ? My baby is 1 month years old
Hi Moko, We do suggest extreme caution when using oils with infants in any manner, as infants’ senses are very sensitive. Moreover, every person is different and reacts differently to different oils and oil supplements. As the health and wellbeing of our members is very important to us, we do recommend consulting with your health care provider before using any of our products, to determine if it is right for you or your child. We would recommend following the label directions for each product. We would also recommend doing a skin test on a small area before applying the oil to a larger area to make sure it is diluted appropriately. If your children appear to have a sensitivity to the diffusing of the oils you may consider diffusing the oils for a shorter period of time, using different oils, discontinuing use, and as always speaking with your health care provider. You may also visit Essential Oils in the Nursery for more information.

Hi, can I diffuse thieves essential oil when 6 months old baby is around?
Hi Yin, Thank you for your question. To safeguard the health of your children, the essential oils should not be diffused in their immediate proximity or for long periods of time without the prior consent of a pediatric physician. We also suggest diffusing a small amount of essential oil for short periods of time until you have determined if your children have any sensitivity to diffusing.
so for a few years I have been using the original
thieves in my tea before there was a vitality line-should I not have been? I still have two bottles or the original thieves–am I now only supposed to use those for diffusing and cleaning and not internal?
Excellent question! Thieves essential oil is labeled for aromatic or topical use and therefore not for internal use. We recommend using our Thieves Vitality™ which is labeled for dietary use and is a great choice to be added to your favorite beverages or cooking! Hope that helps, but when in doubt always read the labeling for uses on the bottle.

Love to use thieves vitality in 40 oz of water for my vegetables and fruits. I use Thieves to sanitize my kitchen counter tops.
I add 1 or 2 drops of Thieves to my steam mop to use on all of my floors including carpets.
Do you find adding Thieves to the steam mop really helps to clean your floors? I have a steam mop. I also have two dogs and sometimes I don’t feel the steam mop is getting out all the dirt, slobber, etc. thanks for any advice. Just started using essential oils a few weeks ago. How do you use it on your carpets?
Our favorite uses for Thieves is the sanitizing spray for any surface.
It’s the one oil I travel with. Don’t leave home without it!
I love the whole Thieves line! I love how my laundry smells after adding Thieves to the laundry.
What a great idea Tami Jo Eaton! I like to put a drop of Thieves Vitality in my coffee with a tablespoon of coconut oil! YUM
My Mom introduced me to Thieves with your lozenges which I am addicted to, it is the first oil I diffused and my favorite & I love to clean with it while taking in the aroma!
I love it as a warm tea to drink in the cold months, a drop or two of Thieves Vitality and a bit of honey! Very tasty and and supports wellness!
I love to mix a drop of Thieves Vitality oil in my Slique tea. Yummy and delicious :)
I love to make Thieves “tea” with warm water, 1 drop Thieves Vitality, 1 drop Lemon Vitality, and about 1 Tablespoon of honey. It’s great for winter wellness!
I’ve read that thieves is not safe to use or diffuse on children younger than 10. What’s the safely with thieves and infants??
Hi Kimberly, Many essential oils are appropriate for use on children with dilution. We recommend that you always follow the label instructions to determine which oils are appropriate and due to the extreme sensitivity of infants, we would suggest discussing the use of Thieves with your baby’s pediatrician.
Use in my Ningxia every morning !! Love it!! I also love Thieves Vitality on a spoonful of agava!!
Agave has been researched and the conclusion is that shouldn’t be the preferable sweetener. You may use stevia instead.
The scent is just awesome along with all the wonderful benefits
I’ve used Thieves EO for overal wellness maintenance.
Great graphic. Thank you!
I really enjoy adding a couple drops of Thieves Vitality to my drinks.
Love a drop of Thieves Vitality in my tea. Delicious!
We love adding a drop of Thieves Vitality along with a drop of Lemon Vitality Essential Oil in a cup of warm herbal tea. Thank you Young Living!
Every night I apply the thieves (diluted) on my children’s feet. They apply it themselves with the roller ball.
I love, love, love to diffuse Thieves in my home. I also use Thieves E.O. as a roll-on, well diluted. I am an RN and use it numerous times throughout my shifts along my collarbones and back of neck. I also use it on my kiddos feet before gymnastics practice. We LOVE Thieves!
I recently used an empty orange essential oil bottle and added V6 and Thieves and roll it on every night before bed. There are endless uses for Thieves. I love cleaning my entire house with Thieves cleaner. Such a fresh aroma!!
How many drops did you do, and what size bottle, 5 or 15 ml?
