IS VINEGAR THE BEST GERM KILLER?
by Annie Bond
Beware of the superbug:
We all know of the hand soap found in restrooms everywhere that boasts its
antimicrobial power on the label. Have you ever stopped to wonder what exactly is in it
that kills the germs? Most of the products on the market that are advertised to kill
germs on surfaces are made with synthetic chemicals, such as Triclosan, that can
cause superbug overgrowth. According to Stuart B. Levy, of Tufts University School of
Medicine, commonly used disinfectants and antimicrobial agents are causing the
same problem as overuse of antibiotics. Using a product that contributes to superbug
overgrowth is especially dangerous in places filled with children, sick people and the
elderly.
In the United States, a product can only be labeled and advertised as a disinfectant or
antimicrobial agent after it has been registered as a pesticide with the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The vast majority of the products approved contain Triclosan
or other synthetic chemicals that can contribute to superbug overgrowth. Fortunately,
there are now also EPA-registered products on the market that are safer, such as a
botanical disinfectant, as well as a “green” version using silver that has the lowest
toxicity rating with the EPA.
Get to know the natural germ-killers:
Herbs and essential oils are not known to cause drug resistance, and numerous
studies concur that many, if not most, botanicals have remarkable abilities to kill all
types of germs, which is why they have been used for centuries in home remedies. In
my research, I came across a remarkable formula called “The Vinegar of the Four
Thieves” or “Grave Robber’s Blend.” The story behind the formula speaks volumes
about plants and their germ-killing properties. Having grown up with Western
medicine, we might not think about herbs and essential oils as ways to keep germs at
bay, but they are effective, and this method was once considered commonplace.
The "Vinegar of the Four Thieves"
Around the time of the Black Plague, a family of perfumers robbed the dead. As
perfumers, they knew well which essential oils had antiseptic properties, and they
infused those in vinegar and rubbed them on their bodies. By doing so, they protected
themselves from certain death. The doctors of the time used the same herbs and
essential oils to protect themselves while tending to those who were contagious. They
wore big draping cloaks over their heads that reached down well below their
shoulders. A hole was made for the nose, and attached to the cloak was a 10-inch-
long canoe-shaped beak full of antiseptic herbs and essential oils.
How to make your own:
1. To make “The Vinegar of the Four Thieves" - place a small handful each of dried
lavender, rosemary, sage, rue and mint in a gallon jar, and cover completely with
organic apple cider vinegar.
2. Cover tightly and let sit for six weeks.
3. Strain and pour into a spray bottle.
Whereas no home can be made completely sterile, the powerfully antiseptic Four
Thieves formula can be sprayed on surfaces of concern, such as on cutting boards
and doorknobs--always sure to avoid getting it in your eyes.
Research is confirming that the old folk recipes using herbs and essential oils to kill
germs—such as those used by 14th-century doctors during the Black Plague—were
based on good science. Many essential oils, such as the oils of oregano, lavender and
thyme, are more antiseptic than phenol, which is the industry standard. As of yet,
essential oils aren’t individually approved by the EPA, FDA or CDC as germ killers.
However, the antiseptic and antiviral properties of certain essential oils—as well as
their safety and non-toxicity—have been well established.
