This study focused on thieves oil as an antimicrobial agent. Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) were done using thieves oil against normal skin flora and E. coli. Along with MICs of thieves oil, the components of thieves oil were also tested. This included; clove oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, and eucalyptus oil. The results obtained showed that thieves oil was effective against all the organisms tested, yet some of its components were more effective.
