In ancient times, when plague ran life,

a band of thieves fought for their life.

With herbs and spices they masked the scent,

creating a blend both fierce and potent.

Clove and cinnamon, rosemary’s might,

lemon and eucalyptus, a fragrant light.

They sold their secret, a potion of care,

to guard against illness, a herbal affair.

Now thieve oil lingers, a legacy true,

of cunning and craft in the face of the blue.

A timeless reminder, from shadows we glean,

that nature’s own gifts can heal and convene.

Adapted from ancient times, this folk remedy can be used as a fragrant room spray to help fight bacteria.
