Is there an alternative to Theives...

[Funkay Onion]

that would give me similar results?
Any suggestions or recipes would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya

Well they do give the formula on the website Nick gave so try blending equal parts of each of the oils listed there and see how you go!

Personally I'd use different oils though, depending on exactly what you're trying to do. Lemon, Sandalwood, Cinnamon and Ravensara is a useful immune system boosting blend, and is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-biotic too.

I'd probably use a different blend too - Lemon, Thyme, Ravensara and Clove springs to mind. For example for sinus type infections I use Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, Frankincense and Benzoin. For my daughter's chest in the winter I generally use Thyme Linalool, Ravensara and Niaouli.

I agree with ChrisRams that it entirely depends on what you are aiming to achieve. There are a number of oils reputed to stimulate the immune system and many have anti-bacterial/anti-fungal/bacteriostatic/anti-viral properties (not necessarily at the same time) so a good reference book and some playing with proportions would probably achieve this. You may have to hunt for petri dish based stats although they are increasingly available.

The Young Living Theives was what I was referring to, I hear so many stories of people who stave off colds and flus, and heal their gums and so on using the YL Theives line, so I was looking for a similar formulation. I'll go take a peek at the website you suggested, thanks everyone!
