Thieves Formula Skin Wash

Thieves Formulas came about in the middle ages during the plagues. Herbal recipes were created to protect those who were stricken in order to ward off diseases. Historically, thieves used these formulas on themselves to allow them to enter the homes of the afflicted without contracting it while they were cleaning out valuables. Hence the name... While that has no bearing on the use of these formulas contemporarily, the purpose behind them still holds true. This is a formula which is skin safe, but is not for internal use. Use it as a hand rub when nursing ill family members, when working with the public during cold and flu season, and for removing strong food odors from skin.
