FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR
This vinegar finds its use in the prevention of contagious diseases. Rub
it on face and hands and burn it in the room. It can also be kept in
small bottles for the vapours to be sniffed in case of fainting.
The story goes that this formula was revealed in the 17th centeury by four
corpse robbers caught red-handed during the time of the great plagues of
Toulouse (1628-1631). Their disregard for the contagion thoroughly
astonished the judges...The archives of the Parliament of Toulouse record
that : "During the great plagues, four robbers were convicted of going to
the houses of plague victims, strangling them in their beds and then
looting their dwellings: for this they were condemned to be burned at the
stake, and in order to have the sentence mitigated they revealed their
secret preservative; after which they were hanged."
The original recipe was:
3 pints of strong white wine vinegar
a handful each of wormwood, meadowsweet, juniper berries, wild marjoram
and sage
50 cloves
2 ounces of elecampane root
2 ounces of angelica
2 ounces of rosemary
2 ounces of horehound
3g of camphor.
Valnet's updated recipe:
greater wormwood 40g
lesser wormwood 40g
rosemary 40g
sage 40g
mint 40g
rue 40g
lavender 40g
calamus 5g
cinnamon 5g
nutmeg 5g
garlic 5g
camphor 10g
crystallised acetic acid 40g
white vinegar 2,500g
Steep the plants in the vinegar for 10 days. Force through a sieve. Add
the camphor dissolved in the acetic acid, then filter.
