The tale goes something like this, four thieves (former herbalists) who are robbing graves during the bubonic plague are captured. Stunned that they were able to avoid death or even illness, the judge offered them leniency if they divulged their secret. At the time burning at the stake was legal and sharing how they annointed a specific blend of herbs and oils on their bodies and in their masks to avoid sickness, granted the thieves to be hanged instead. Doctors then adopted this formula to protect themselves. Ever grateful we are for this age old blend of oils. It has been preserved and adapted many times over centuries for a myriad of uses. Age old, time tested ingredients, their synergy proving to be Thick As Thieves.
We formulated this multi-use balm with our own spin, to help decongest, for use on bruises, to repel bugs and on temples to minimize headaches. It is also said to kill nail fungus and athletes foot. It soothes tired feet and may reduce pimples, warts and skin tags.
