Thieves Oil

Pink Monkey makes a Thieves Oil which is a natural replacement for hand sanitizer. I have ordered new bottles so will now be able to offer 3 sizes.
1/2 oz. $4.00
1 oz. $8.00
2 oz. $15.00
Hand sanitizer is very drying to your skin. Thieves Oil is made with essential oils and a carrier oil. Some of the oils I use are bacteria fighting and some are immune boosting. Thieves Oil is a great alternative to the alcohol based hand sanitizers.
Here is the legend of the Thieves Oil


Stories Behind the Thieves The thieves happen to have been merchants and spice traders, and that’s how they knew about the oils because they were importing cinnamon and clove from India and when the plague hit, the kings of the various countries sent out a mandate closing down inter-national commerce and shipping. So all of the ships were docked and they couldn’t sell couldn’t engage in their business and they were going broke.

The spice trade was a very lucrative trade and they made money at it, so they decided, “Well–all of these people are dying and they are afraid to touch them. We might as well go loot their bodies and take the things off and go into the homes where everybody is dead and take the things out of the homes, like pots and pans and jewelry and clothing and set up a pawn shop trade…” that’s when pawn shops evolved.

Of course, you have heard the story when the king issued the proclamation to have the thieves captured, but the constables were afraid to touch them because they knew they had been touching the dead bodies and going in the homes of the dead people, and they didn’t want the plague.

It became so severe that the king even executed a few of the constables that refused. Finally, it was a life or death issue, and as the story goes on there were four of them who were caught. The king gave them an opportunity to confess the secret of their immunity, either with the choice of burning at the stake or being hung by the neck,meaning if they didn’t give up their secret they would be burned at the stake, and worse if they gave up their secret they would be hung by the neck–and they chose hanging.

They gave up their secret and it was published and plastered all through the town.
