How eliminating chemicals & fragrances can dramatically improve your health

7.02.2025

Did you enjoy our previous post? I am so excited to have received my Thieves Dishwasher Tablets and Thieves Multipurpose Wipes. As with any new release from Young Living, there’s a lot of anticipation.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the new Thieves Dishwasher Tablets. They are doing an amazing job in my dishwasher, and everything is coming out sparkling clean. I’ve been using a full tablet in a dirty load, and a half tablet in a less soiled load, and both have worked brilliantly. 

As for the Thieves Household Wipes – I wasn’t a big user of the original Thieves Wipes, because I always used my home-made Thieves Household Spray as my go-to for cleaning, so the wipes weren’t part of my every day or every week routine.

I mostly used them for wiping over my phone after I’d been handling wildlife (as I like to take pics of the animals I’m working with, and don’t always have that spare second to disinfect my hands before touching my phone to take that amazing pic)!

But….drum roll….the new Thieves Household Wipes are divine!!! When I first opened them, my cellular memory expected them to smell like the old ones, ie. like Thieves. I’d totally forgotten that these have Lemon Myrtle oil in them as well (which is one of my favourite single oils). And WOW….what a delight that first whiff was! I can see myself using them a whole lot more, just because of their amazing smell! 

I have black granite benches that look stunning when they are cleaned, so all I need to do is to wipe over them with the Thieves Household Wipes (instead of the clean sponge and Thieves Spray I normally use) then polish them with a dry cloth, and they come up just as beautifully.

So today, let’s continue our exploration of Young Living’s Thieves Range, and why this is such a natural and easy way to go low tox as well as clean & green.


How I transformed my health by eliminating fragrances

Kylie B.writes: 

Before I started with Young Living, I used to have continual headaches. I was taking pain killers more days than I wasn’t. I’d have hives and flare-ups and allergies, and I was on antihistamines and sometimes even steroids.

Recently I was doing a clean up, and came across some of my medical claims. I couldn’t believe it! One year I claimed AUD$28,000 just for myself in medical expenses through Medicare. I had been in and out of hospital, and on top of that my husband had been battling chronic fatigue, and my daughter was on antibiotics 7 times in 18 months!!!

We were a really sick family, and it was scary. 

At that time I loved having a beautiful smelling home, so I used lots of scented candles, scented cleaning products and those plug-in fragrant things. I thought my house smelt great, and that it was nice and “clean”.

I had no idea that it was these synthetic fragrances and chemicals that were causing so much havoc in my body. It was only when I came across Young Living and began swapping out the chemicals and replacing them with nature that the link between chemicals and sickness became clear to me.

When my sister introduced me to Young Living in 2014, I started with a pack of essential oils.

That gave me a great way to fragrance my home naturally. I began drinking NingXia Red each day to nourish my body, and I started reading labels and cleaning my home with Thieves Household Cleaner.  I also began using the Young Living toothpaste and deodorant. Those were the first things I bought, outside of the beautiful essential oils.

Pretty soon, I noticed I wasn’t going to that drawer anymore for the medications. The change was dramatic.

Since eliminating toxins from our home by switching to Young Living’s Thieves Range, not one member of my family of 4 have needed antibiotics, and I haven’t needed to take antihistamines or steroids in over 10 years. I don’t ever go to the pharmacy for myself anymore, where I used to be in the pharmacy several times a week. As for pain killers, I’ve taken them only 4 times in the last 8 years.

It’s been life changing, and it’s opened my eyes to the dangers of the chemicals and fragrances most people live with on a daily basis, and what they are doing to our health.

That’s why I’m always amazed when people tell me they can’t afford Young Living. I know from personal experience that illness is far more expensive!


Are you ready to Ditch & Switch?

In my last bulletin, I shared about Emma’s amazing experience with her son’s eczema when she switched to Thieves Laundry Soap. She removed the trigger (which was the fragrances and chemicals in the laundry liquids she was using), and his eczema steadily cleared up. Kylie’s experience tells a similar story.

How many people are suffering unnecessarily, as a result of exposure to these everyday products and the hidden dangers they contain?

Young Living’s Thieves range of products make the switch to low-tox really easy.

  • They are super concentrates, so that makes them extremely economical (often cheaper than your store-bought products), which saves you $$$$.
  • They are safe and effective, being based around Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend, which is scientifically proven to kill over 99.3% of bacteria (according to a 1997 Weber State University study on diffused Thieves oil). Thieves oil is also effective against surface mould and mildew.
  • They are plant and mineral based, biodegradable, and safe for both biocycle and septic systems, so they are 100% kind to our Planet.
  • And because they are fortified with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils of Cinnamon Bark, Lemon, Clove, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils, their aroma and frequency comes from nature (not a man-made, synthetic “pretend” version of nature). You feel the difference!

The many uses of Thieves Household Cleaner

If you are ready to take even just one step in the direction of a low-tox home, start with Thieves Household Cleaner. This all-purpose concentrated cleaner is more cost effective than supermarket brands.

  • The 1.8 litre size makes up 60 litres of all-purpose cleaner. 1 cap = 86 cents AUD.
  • The 426ml size makes up 14.2 litres of all-purpose cleaner. 1 cap = 99 cents AUD.

And it’s extremely versatile. No more buying “this for this, and that for that”. 

Thieves Household Cleaner offers you a wide variety of cleaning solutions in a single bottle.

Making up an all-purpose Thieves Household Spray is super easy. Just put 1.5 caps (15ml) of Thieves Household Cleaner into a 500ml spray bottle, and fill with water. This works out at AUD $1.28 (excluding the cost of the bottle).

But…I love adding extra essential oils in, for the beautiful and uplifting fragrances!! I add them in before I top up with water.

My favourite combo (which works out at AUD $3.11) is:

  • 6 drops Orange oil
  • 6 drops Lavender oil
  • 6 drops Lemon Myrtle oil

And if you’ve just got Young Living’s starter bundle, for an additional AUD $2.21 you can use:

  • 6 drops Lemon oil
  • 6 drops Peppermint oil
  • 6 drops Thieves oil

And here are some other great uses of Thieves Household Cleaner. Prices are all in Australian Dollars (AUD), and based on the 1.8 litre size of Thieves Household Cleaner.
