πŸ§ͺ Does Thieves Cleaner Really Work? We Put It to the Test Against Conventional Cleaners

πŸ§ͺ Does Thieves Cleaner Really Work? We Put It to the Test Against Conventional Cleaners
If you've ever wondered whether Thieves Cleaner and essential oils actually clean and stop bacteria growth, you’re not alone. There’s a lot of hype out there — and as someone who loves a good low-tox living swap, I wanted proof too.
So, we rolled up our sleeves and ran a little science experiment right at home. We tested Thieves Household Cleaner, Thieves essential oil blend, and Oregano essential oil against some of the most popular conventional cleaning brands.
And honestly… the results speak for themselves. πŸ‘€

🧼 Cleaners We Tested

We wanted a fair comparison, so we chose a mix of natural, “green,” and conventional cleaners that most households use:
  • Thieves Household Cleaner
  • Thieves Essential Oil Blend
  • Oregano Essential Oil
    vs.
  • Mrs. Meyer’s
  • Method
  • Lysol
  • Seventh Generation
  • Clorox

πŸ”¬ The Experiment: Petri Dish Style

Here’s exactly what we did πŸ‘‡
  1. Swabbed bacteria from the bottom of a child’s shoe (hello, germs!) and added it to petri dishes.
  2. Added about 3 drops of each cleaner or essential oil to separate dishes.
  3. Taped them closed and let the bacteria grow for 4–5 days.
This gave us a clear side-by-side look at how well each cleaner prevented bacterial growth.

🌿 The Results: Thieves Takes the Win

After a few days, it was crystal clear:
πŸ‘‰ Thieves Cleaner, Thieves essential oil blend, and Oregano essential oil outperformed all the others by far.
While some of the conventional cleaners still showed visible bacterial growth, the dishes treated with Thieves products were clean and clear. ✨
This little DIY experiment confirmed what so many low-tox households already know — plant-based cleaning products can be incredibly effective, without relying on harsh chemicals.

🧴 Why Thieves Household Cleaner Stands Out

Thieves Cleaner isn’t just another “green” cleaner. It’s powered by essential oils — including the famous Thieves blend — and formulated to clean your home without synthetic fragrances, bleach, or harmful chemicals.
Some highlights:
  • 🌿 Plant-based + biodegradable ingredients
  • πŸ‘Ά Family-safe — no harsh fumes or residues
  • 🌎 Eco-friendly for a healthier planet
  • ✨ Infused with Thieves essential oil blend, known for its purifying properties
The Thieves essential oil blend itself (a mix of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary) has been studied for its cleansing and immune-supporting benefits. Just one sniff—or a quick PubMed search—is enough to see why it’s a household favorite.

πŸ’š A Simple Swap for a Healthier Home

This experiment was such a fun reminder that you don’t need harsh chemicals to keep your home clean. Thieves Cleaner is proof that natural can be powerful.
If you’ve been curious about making the switch to a low-tox lifestyle, this is one of the easiest, most impactful places to start. ✨
Ditch the conventional cleaners and let Thieves work its magic — your home (and your health) will thank you. 🌿

🌿 Why Essential Oil-Infused Supplements Are a Total Game-Changer for Your Health

🌿 Why Essential Oil-Infused Supplements Are a Total Game-Changer for Your Health
If you’re looking to make a simple but powerful upgrade to your health routine, start with your supplements. Seriously — one of the biggest changes you can make for your overall health and longevity is choosing the right kind of supplements.
And here’s the secret: supplements infused with essential oils are a huge win.
Why? Because essential oils don’t just smell amazing — they actually help your body absorb and use nutrients more effectively. This means you get more of the vitamins, minerals, and herbs you’re taking, without them going to waste. πŸ™Œ
So if you’re still grabbing the drugstore multivitamins… it might be time to make a switch.

πŸ’Š The Problem with Conventional Supplements

Most traditional vitamins and supplements are filled with a laundry list of colorings, fillers, and binders — and not the good kind.
These additives are usually synthetic, and over time they can wreak havoc on your body. Think:
  • Hormone disruption
  • Low-level allergies you might not even notice
  • Gut health issues
No one wants that for themselves or their family.

✨ The Power of Essential Oil-Infused Supplements

This is where Young Living comes in. Their supplements are:
  • 🌱 Sustainably sourced
  • 🚫 Free of unnecessary fillers and synthetic junk
  • 🌿 Infused with essential oils to boost absorption and assimilation
That last part is huge. When your body can actually use the nutrients you’re taking, every supplement works smarter — not harder. You’re not just taking vitamins; you’re making a daily investment in your health.

🌟 My Favorite Young Living Supplements

If you’re wondering where to start, these are some of my tried-and-true favorites:
  • Master Formula – A daily nutrient-rich multivitamin complex that’s pre-packaged for easy use.
  • NingXia Red – A delicious, antioxidant-packed drink that supports energy, eye, joint, brain, and overall wellness.
  • Super B – A B-vitamin powerhouse for energy and mood support.
  • Life 9 – A high-potency probiotic for a happy gut (and honestly, for overall health).
  • Mineral Essence – A trace mineral supplement that supports everything from hydration to cellular function.
  • Green Omega 3 – A sustainably sourced fish oil that supports heart health, mood, and emotional balance.
  • Longevity Softgels – A blend of Frankincense, Clove, Thyme, and Orange essential oils for antioxidant support and protection against modern stress.

🌿 The “Core 5” — Your Foundation for Daily Wellness

If you’re not sure where to begin, these five supplements make an incredible daily foundation. I like to think of them as the “Core 5” — they cover the major bases, and then you can layer in anything extra you need.
  1. Master Formula – Nutrient-rich daily multivitamin
  2. NingXia Red – Whole-body antioxidant and energy support
  3. Green Omega 3 – Heart, mood, and emotional wellness
  4. Life 9 – Probiotic for gut + overall health
  5. Longevity Softgels – Antioxidant powerhouse to support healthy aging
These five give your body what it needs to thrive — naturally.

🌱 Ready to Upgrade Your Supplement Routine?

Switching to essential oil-infused supplements isn’t just a wellness trend — it’s a smart, sustainable way to support your health from the inside out. Ditch the synthetic additives and give your body nutrients it can actually use.
Your future self will thank you. πŸ’š


🌿 Natural Ways to Support Your Throat & Immune System After Tonsil Removal

🌿 Natural Ways to Support Your Throat & Immune System After Tonsil Removal
If you’ve had your tonsils removed—or are considering a tonsillectomy—you might be wondering how to keep your throat healthy long-term. Your tonsils play a key role in your immune system, so once they’re gone, your body may need a little extra love to stay protected against sore throats, infections, and irritation.
The good news? With a few natural tools, like Young Living essential oils and supplements, you can support your body’s healing process, boost your immune system, and keep your throat feeling its best. πŸ™Œ

πŸ‘… Tonsils 101: Why They Matter

Your tonsils are two small glands located at the back of your throat. They’re part of your lymphatic system, helping trap bacteria and viruses that enter through your mouth and nose.
A tonsillectomy (tonsil removal) is commonly done to help with:
  • Recurring throat infections
  • Sleep apnea
  • Tonsil stones
  • Chronic inflammation or obstruction
After surgery, your body no longer has that “first line of defense,” which can mean:
  • Increased susceptibility to throat irritation
  • More frequent upper respiratory infections
  • A greater need to support your immune and lymphatic systems naturally

πŸ’ͺ Post-Tonsillectomy Support with Young Living Supplements

Once your tonsils are gone, it’s important to keep your immune system strong and your throat healthy. These Young Living supplements can help give your body that extra boost:

πŸ§ƒ NingXia Red

This antioxidant-packed superfood drink is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that support your immune system, hydration, and overall throat wellness. A small daily serving goes a long way.

🌿 Inner Defense

If you find yourself fighting off seasonal issues or throat discomfort, this blend is your new best friend. It contains Thyme, Oregano, and Lemon essential oils to support a healthy immune response and help fight off unwanted invaders.

πŸ’Š ImmuPro

Packed with zinc, vitamin C, Wolfberry, and Acerola cherry, ImmuPro is designed to keep your immune system strong and resilient—especially helpful when your tonsils are no longer there to filter out germs.

🍊 Super C

This high-dose vitamin C supplement with antioxidants is perfect if you’re prone to colds or lingering throat irritation post-surgery. It’s a simple way to keep your defenses up year-round.

🌿 Deep Spectra Frankincense

This supplement combines Frankincense essential oil and resin for a concentrated dose of antioxidants and immune support.

🐟 Green Omega 3

Healthy omega-3s help support overall wellness and keep inflammation down. Green Omega 3 softgels are plant-based and packed with DHA and EPA from marine algae, plus flaxseed oil and Clove essential oil for extra antioxidant benefits. These are especially helpful if you tend to experience dryness or throat discomfort post-tonsillectomy.

🌸 Essential Oils That Support Throat Health

Essential oils can be a game-changer for supporting your throat naturally after tonsil removal. Here are a few favorites and how to use them:
  • Thieves Essential Oil – Immune-boosting and purifying. Use as a gargle or mouthwash to support oral health, or apply diluted oil to your throat and chest.
  • Lemon Essential Oil – Detoxifying and refreshing. Add a drop to water (or a DIY throat spray) to cleanse and support your throat.
  • Lavender Essential Oil – Calming and soothing. Apply diluted oil topically to reduce throat irritation or diffuse at night for relaxation.
  • Peppermint Essential Oil – Cooling and comforting. Use diluted on the throat or diffuse for relief from dryness and irritation.
  • Frankincense Essential Oil – Anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive. Diffuse or apply diluted oil to the throat area to calm tissues and support healing.

🌿 Lifestyle Tips for a Healthy Throat After Tonsillectomy

Daily habits make a big difference. Try adding these into your wellness routine:

πŸ’§ Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water and herbal teas to keep your throat moist. Add a drop of Lemon or Peppermint essential oil to your water for extra support.

πŸͺ₯ Use Thieves Dental Products

Thieves toothpaste, mouthwash, and dental floss are great for supporting oral hygiene while protecting against harmful bacteria—without harsh chemicals.

πŸ§‚ Gargle with Salt Water

A simple warm saltwater gargle can soothe a dry, scratchy throat and reduce irritation.

🍷 Incorporate NingXia Red

Make NingXia Red part of your daily wellness routine to keep your immune system strong.
