3. Improves Respiratory Health
Cinnamon oil and clove oil are both present in thieves oil, and both of these oils possess strong antibacterial properties, which aid the respiratory system in that they fight off infections. Upper respiratory infections, more commonly known as common colds, and influenza, to give two examples, are ailments that range from mild to moderate, affecting most people up to two or three times a year. When thieves oil is used in diffusers, or as the main ingredient in steam ingestion, it is particularly good at opening up the respiratory faculties by moistening the back of the throat and the muscles involved in the breathing process.
This lubrication would be beneficial for respiratory health even if it was only water that was being used, but the addition of thieves oil makes the process three times as effective. A healthy respiratory system can not only aid performance in terms of athletic competition, but can also prevent the build-up of any unwanted bacteria which may lead to infection or illness.
