This soap has a fascinating story! During the Dark and Middle Ages, bubonic plague outbreaks decimated the population of Asia and Europe for the better part of a thousand years. In 15th century England emerged a legend of four brothers, that were thieves, who were captured and charged with robbing the dead and dying victims. When the thieves were tried, the magistrate offered leniency if they would reveal how they resisted contacting the infection. They told of a special concoction of aromatic herbs, including cloves, cinnamon and rosemary, that they soaked their clothes in and rubbed on themselves before committing their crimes.  Our soap uses Cinnamon, Cloves, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Rosemary essential Oils.
