Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Essential Oil

FRANCE. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Essential Oil, Steam Distilled, Organic

Thyme is a very pungent, strong herb with a warm, spicy fragrance that has long been recognized for its antimicrobial and anti-parasitic properties. For blending purposes, the essential oil is considered a middle note. 

Thyme Oil is often used in antiseptic mouthwashes, toothpastes, hand sanitizers, and in anti-fungal products. Thyme essential oil is also anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. It has been given to soothe muscle aches, clear congestion, and stimulate circulation. It may help regulate hormone-related issues like dysmenorrhea, as it interacts with both estrogen and progesterone receptors. 

Our essential oils are sold in amber glass bottles with a dropper orifice for drop-by-drop administration. Do not ingest essential oils unless under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner or experienced aromatherapist. Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil before being applied to the skin. (Some examples of carrier oils: Jojoba, Sunflower, Grapeseed, Rosehip Seed, Castor, and Avocado; gently liquified Coconut Oil, Shea, or Cocoa Butter can also work for creating thicker body care products.) Always test the diluted essential oil on a small patch of skin before applying more widely.

Maximum recommended dilution for adults: 1% (approximately 1 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil). Do not use in baths.
