Product Description
Thyme oil is one of the strongest antioxidant oils around, and it has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times because it supports the immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous and other body systems.
Due to the herb’s essential oils, it has a number of health benefits. In fact, these benefits have been recognized across the Mediterranean for thousands of years.
Thyme oil is antiseptic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, hypertensive and has calming properties.
It’s one of the best essential oils for hormones because it helps balance hormone levels — aiding women with menstrual and menopausal symptoms. It also protects the body from dangerous diseases and ailments, such as stroke, arthritis, fungal and bacterial infections, and skin conditions.
What Is Thyme Oil?
Thyme oil comes from the perennial herb known as Thymus vulgaris. This herb is a member of the mint family, and it’s used for cooking, mouthwashes, potpourri and aromatherapy. It’s native to southern Europe from the western Mediterranean to southern Italy.
The thyme plant is a bushy, woody-based evergreen subshrub with small, highly aromatic, gray-green leaves and clusters of purple or pink flowers that bloom in the early summer. It typically grows to be between six to 12 inches tall and 16 inches wide. Thyme is best cultivated in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil.
Thyme tolerates drought well, and it can even endure deep freezes, as it’s found growing wild on mountain highlands. It’s planted in the spring and then continues to grow as a perennial. The seeds, roots or cuttings of the plant can be used for propagation.
Because the thyme plant is grown in many environments, climates and soils, there are over 300 varieties with different chemotypes. Although they all look the same, the chemical composition is different along with the corresponding health benefits.
