This is a vital oil to have in your home prep medical kit.
I have a friend who is Type 1 diabetic, a brittle diabetic until they found out she was allergic to the type of insulin she was taking and switched it. Anyway, she was bit by a brown recluse spider that had hitch-hiked in on a food box (she worked at a fast food restaurant). When she was lifting the box, her shirt came up and the spider bit her about an inch to the right of her belly button. She saw the fiddle pattern on the spider and recognized it as a brown recluse, but didn't think to take it with her to the E.R. The doc disputed it because they aren't indigenous to this area. He sent her home with no treatment.
She was becoming increasingly delirious, so I took her to a different E.R., where they gave her antibiotics, but no anti-venom.
She was becoming severely ill, so I had her apply Young Living (YLEO) Thieves Oil and Panaway. The next day she began to improve. A clear liquid was oozing out of the puncture wound, which I think might have been the venom and perhaps infection.
It resonates with an anecdotal story I read of a man who was out in the wilderness camping when he developed lower right quadrant abdominal pain. All he had was Thieves Oil, so applied it hourly for several days until he could get medical help. The E.R. doc speculated that the cinammon in the Thieves Oil is what saved his life (kept his appendix from rupturing), as cinnamon has a drawing power. (Absent Thieves Oil, anecdotally, sauder, which also has a drawing power, has been used successfully on venomous snake bites.)
Thieves Oil is said to have gotten its name from four thieves (sometimes known as Four Thieves Oil) who robbed the dead and dying during the Black Plague. They were spice traders who used masks filled with the different ingredients to breathe through as they contacted the infected ones. In the image below, the beak was filled with the various herbs. (More history in the article.)

Thanks I have already checked it out.

Vitacost.com has some oils, better prices, but probably not the highest quality. Organic does not necessarily equal medicinal or therapeutic quality, which is what you want for your medical kit. The highest quality oils, though, are usually organic.
