During the
Black Plague of 15th century, a small band of thieves were caught in the
act and brought before the King, who forced them to divulge a most curious
secret. The thieves had been entering the homes of plague victims and
stripping the dead bodies of money, jewelry and anything else of value
that could be found. Although the plague was highly contagious, not one of
this morbid band of thieves ever contracted the dread plague even though
their thefts had put them in daily contact with the dead bodies of plague
victims. The King, eager to protect himself and the Royal Family, demanded
to know how the thieves had avoided contracting the plague.
Soon
enough, the truth came out. The thieves were all members of the same
family - a family from a long line of Apothecaries. Because of their
intimate knowledge of the healing arts, passed down from generation to
generation, they were familiar with a combination of specific plant oils
that, when rubbed on the body, would protect the body from contracting
this most feared and deadly disease. The King forced the thieves to
divulge the specific plant oils used, and the formula for extracting them
from the plants. With that vital information in hand, he was thereby able
to protect himself and his family from the deadly plague.
The
recipe for the "thieves oils" can still be found in the Royal English
Archives to this day. What's more, this story is not all that unusual. In
fact, it is widely known that many perfumers and tanners in 16th century
England were also able to escape the Black Plague due to the fact that the
powerful, sweet smelling plant oils used in the making of various perfumes
and in the scenting of leather goods exhibit phenomenal antimicrobial
properties.
History further reveals that virtually the entire town
of Bucklersbury, England was spared from the plague, even while the
residents of other towns in close proximity were dying in droves. How were
the residents of Bucklersbury spared? Historians believe it was no fluke.
This fortunate town was the center of the European lavender trade.
Lavender is a plant the essential oil of which is widely used in making
perfume. More importantly, the oil of lavender has long been known to have
powerful disease fighting properties.
