Four Thieves Vinegar Information and Recipe



Four Thieves Vinegar

Herbal lore has it that, while the Plague was raging in France a rash of burglaries of plague victims' homes was discovered. No efforts was made, however, to apprehend the thieves, as it was assumed what they would soon succumb to the contagion in the homes they had robbed...

The thieves carried on their crime spree for some time, and people begun to wonder why they had not become ill and die. It was then that the authorities began to pursue them... to discover the secret of their immunity of the Plague.

Once the burglars had been apprehended, they struck a bargain with the authorities that they should be set free in exchange to revealing the secret to their immunity to the Plague.

It was then that the four thieves revealed the herbal disinfectant formula that rendered then immune to the Plague.

Current theories suggest that the formula, now called "Four Thieves Vinegar", may offer protection against fearsome possible threats, such as the flu, smallpox and biological weapons, which concern us today. As all of its ingredients are either strong anti-bacterial agents or have potent anti-viral properties.
