Homemade Hand Sanitizer made with harsh alcohol can really destroy your hands and make them dry. Also, the Thieves Essential Oils recipe doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or synthetic fragrance, like many of the hand sanitizers you find today.
Today, I will share my own version made from pure essential oils and fresh natural ingredients that are proven effective and pleasantly aromatic.
Homemade Hand Sanitizer Recipe
1/4 Cup 100% Pure Aloe Vera Gel
1/4 Cup Grain Alcohol
(Must be at least 60% Alcohol to be effective)
Thieves Essential Oils (8-10 drops)
- Clove bud
- Lemon
- Cinnamon bark
- Eucalyptus
- Rosemary
- Tea Tree
So, feel free to use any mixture to your liking. Most importantly, the Thieves Essential Oils blend is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, clarifying, and immune-boosting components. Surprisingly, I consider this to be the perfect sanitizer blend.
Today, everyone around the world is experiencing the Coronavirus Pandemic, making sanitizers and ingredients impossible to find. It seems that we can always fall back on nature to provide for us. Here is an image of the Aloe plant that I purchased for $10 at a local garden shop. It takes longer to harvest the Aloe Vera, but this is where it all began. Hard work and imagination is the key.

How Thieves Oil Got Its Name
In 1413, the Black Death or Bubonic Plague swept through France. Four Thieves were imprisoned from stealing from the dead or dying wealthy people. Many, of whom infected with the Plague.
They were to be burned alive as a penalty for their crimes. However, the judge wanted to know how the thieves remained alive. Furthermore, he promised not burn them alive if they would tell him their secret.
The thieves were spice and perfume traders that couldn’t find work. They concocted an essential oil blend to keep them from catching the Black Death. They wore it on their hands, feet, temples, ears, and inside their masks on a cloth.
Folklore says that the judge kept his word and didn’t burn them alive. Instead, the thieves were hanged and the judge kept his word.
