		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Great blend, but is it worth the high price? Other options? For sure...&lt;/strong&gt; My reviews are generally long and informative. If you don&#039;t like or have the time for a long review, I recommend just reading the IN BRIEF section at the top. If you want more info, please go for reading the whole review.&gt;&gt; IN BRIEF &lt;&lt;The Thieve&#039;s essential oil blend is excellent. Great as a general antiseptic, immune support, throat infection eliminator, oral hygiene and dental cavity protection, household cleaning, and much more.Young Living Oils are, in my opinion, over-rated and over-priced. I think this is the case for pretty much every Network Marketing product I have come across. Nothing wrong with the quality of their products, but simply over-priced (a lot, in my professional opinion) and sold with a lot of marketing hype to justify it.If you just want Thieve&#039;s Oil and don&#039;t mind the cost, go for this product. For sure. If you&#039;d rather save a lot of money for the same results, I provide info on how to do that, in the FULL REVIEW below.5 stars for the Theive&#039;s blend, but only 3 stars for Young Living Essential Oil&#039;s rendition of it.&gt;&gt; THE FULL REVIEW &lt;&lt;I&#039;ve been working with aromatherapy, as a self-health hobby and as a Traditional Naturopath, for over 20 years. I&#039;ve had some pretty high quality oils in that time, such as rose oil costing nearly NZ$ 400 (about US$ 220 back at that time) for a 20 ml bottle. So I am well aware pure therapy grade essential oils can be expensive. However, this formula does NOT contain any oils that are typically high cost. Clove, lemon, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and rosemary--even at the highest therapeutic grade--are not known to be costly oils. On the contrary some of them are relatively inexpensive. Read on.I have used a few bottles of Thieve&#039;s (a friend was or is a distributor some years ago) before deciding to make my own. I like the blend, and find it very useful. In fact it&#039;s one of my most used and favorite essential oil blends for daily use. You can find the recipe online, and for your convenience I have posted it below, along with links to the oils I use to make it with. I decided to make my own because I felt that spending roughly $30 to $40 for 15 ml of relatively inexpensive constituent oils was not justifiable. As mentioned above, none of these are rare/expensive oils.&gt;&gt; YOUNG LIVING OILS &lt;&lt;I have no reason to doubt Young Living makes high quality oils, but I fail to see how they can be so extraordinarily good that these kind of prices are justified. It must be remembered Young Living is primarily a multi-level marketing company, and MLM products are almost ALWAYS significantly more expensive than equivalent non-MLM products of the same (or better) quality. To justify such high prices (especially when many MLM companies promote that their products are LESS expensive because the &quot;middle man&quot; is cut out of the distribution process) they generally have to resort to making extraordinary claims about their products in order to justify the cost being high relatively to everything else on the market.In my opinion, Young Living Oils gets into making extraordinary claims about their products. Looking at the background of Young himself indicates to me he may have some personal integrity issues, and this may be reflected in his company practices. One that especially concerns me is that apparently his literature promoted the idea of doing extractions at 0 psi (no pressure) for better quality oil. Yet his own factory was found to be doing extractions at 125psi, so high it blew up one of his self-made extraction devices and seriously injured a worker. This ended up in the media. Of course Young Living will have their own side to this story, but it raises big question marks for me. Whilst I am not a big supporter of the quackwatch.org site (and the people behind it) and I most certainly do NOT agree with the MOST of their worldview, I will say they have turned up some interesting and insightful info about the history of Gary Young (just search Google for &quot;young essential oils quackwatch&quot; without the quotation marks).So what&#039;s the answer?&gt;&gt; MY RECOMMENDATION &lt;&lt;In my opinion we can get all the benefits and enjoyment of the Thieve&#039;s Oil blend for as little as 1/4 of the price. That sounds good to me. What&#039;s more, at 1/4 of the cost, I feel I can use it more liberally without costing a fortune.I highly recommend making your own Thieves blend. It is very easy, and in fact fun and educational to do. The two most typical recipes I found online, and confirmed from numerous aromatherapy resources are:1) Simply use equal parts of each oil.2) Another is as follows: Clove Bud Oil 200 drops, Lemon Oil 175 drops, Cinnamon Oil 100 drops, Eucalyptus Oil 75 drops, Rosemary 50 drops.Here are the Latin names of the oils most commonly used (as found in Young Living Thieves...]]></description>
