Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Essential Oil
Thyme essential oil is a 100% natural, steam-distilled extract derived from the aerial parts of the Thymus vulgaris plant. A member of the mint family, this oil is known for its powerful herbaceous aroma and extensive therapeutic properties. Used for centuries in natural medicine and culinary preservation, Thyme essential oil continues to be a staple in modern aromatherapy, skincare, and holistic wellness practices.
Rich in antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory compounds, Thyme oil is particularly effective for respiratory health, immune support, and pain relief. It is a go-to for relieving sinus congestion, muscle fatigue, and inflammatory skin conditions such as cellulitis and dermatitis. Its bold, warming aroma energizes the mind while clearing the airways, making it ideal for diffusion during cold and flu season.
