There is an old story that dates back to at least 1438 that tells of 4 thieves who robbed people who were ill from the black plague, yet never got sick themselves. When finally apprehended, they went before a judge who promised to be lenient with them if they told him how they managed to stay healthy. As they had been chemists before their lives of crime, they explained how they had created a special mixture of essential oils, including clove, cinnamon, lemon and rosemary that they wore on themselves and their clothing that kept the germs away. You may have heard of this potion as "thieves oil". Since that name has been copyrighted, I have chosen to call my own blend of these oils "plague ban".
You might wonder what is so special about these particular essential oils, so I have researched them and here are my findings.
Clove oil is both antimicrobial and antifungal. https://www.healthline.com/health/clove-essential-oil#benefits
Cinnamon oil is antibacterial and disinfectant. https://www.healthline.com/health/cinnamon-oil#benefits
Lemon oil is antibacterial and antifungal. https://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/blog/products/all-about-lemon-oil.html
Rosemary oil is anti bacterial and antifungal. https://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/blog/products/all-about-rosemary-oil.html
This is just a quick overview, please follow the links and do your own research to learn more! As you can see, those chemists turned thieves may have been onto something.
While I don't make any medical claims about my products, I do make a point to use high quality essential oils in them. In this flu and cold season, washing hands frequently is the best way to keep yourself healthy. Any soap is a good choice, but I like to recommend my handmade soaps because they are moisturizing rather than drying and that's important when you wash your hands a lot. I use my plague ban oils in both my soap and roller bottles you can apply to your skin.
