If you’re like me, after you received your starter kit, you were hoping for some sort of sickness or ailment so you could try out those fancy, new oils.
Well, sure enough I woke up with a sore throat not too long after receiving my kit. I immediately decided to make Thieves tea. This tea is amazing! It is super simple and easy to make. First, you will make your favorite hot tea. Please allow it to cool a little before adding any oils. Next, you will want to add 2 drops of thieves, 2 drops of lemon, 1 drop of peppermint, and a spoonful of raw honey.
After drinking this tea several times throughout the day, I found my sore throat went away and it never progressed into anything more. Thieves tea is like a thief in the night…it takes the sore and scratchy throat away!
For those who are on the go, you may way to try Thieves Spray. You will need a glass 2 oz spray bottle. You will add 12 drops of Thieves, 6 drops of Lemon, and 6 drops of Peppermint, along with a teaspoon or so of raw honey. Fill the remainder of the bottle with water and give it a good shake. You can take this with you anywhere, anytime you are seeking relief from a sore or scratchy throat.
I hope you have found or will find these recipes helpful. They have been beneficial to our entire family on more than one occasion. Thieves is the oil that hooked me and made me want to learn more!
