Historically, the origin of thieves oil recipe has been linked back to the middle ages where the oil was first used by the group of merchant to protect themselves from black plague while looting infected dead bodies in the 14th century during a European diseases outbreak
There is a story about four thieves in city of Toulouse, France during one of these disease outbreak around 14 century.
While everyone was trying to protect themselves by not touching dead bodies, these thieves were busy robbing and looting homes and graves of those who were died. When they were caught, they agreed to exchange their secret recipe, which had made them to rob without been infected by this disease, in exchange for freedom.
