In the year 1413, The time of the infamous Bubonic Plague AKA The Black Death
When people and doctors were dying, there was someone who saw the opportunity to make a business in stealing
four thieves were captured and charged with stealing from the sick and dying. The thieves never contracted the plague, despite the close contact with the Black Death victims.
The judge was so intrigued by how these men had stayed immune to this terrible disease, that he told them if they shared their secret he would spare them of the punishment of burning them alive.
Thieves replied: We had prepared an essential oil recipe out of perfume & and spices, that when applied to our hands, ears, temples, feet & and a mask over our mouths, kept us safe from infection.
Impressed by the recipe, The judge stayed true to his word. The men were not burned alive, but instead, they were hanged for their crimes.
From then on, the doctors who treated the Black Death victims put the herbal infusion on their hands, ears, temples & feet, and wore beak-like masks stuffed with cloths containing this special blend.
