Thyme is a woody plant that grows in the limestone mountains of the Mediterranean in the south of France. It is a powerful, spicy culinary plant. Thymol thyme and Carvacrol thyme are the two so-called strong thymes, and there are 4 other types of thyme, including linalool thyme, which are considered mild. Thymes and rosemary of several different types with the same Latin name have made it necessary to use the chemical type in addition to the Latin: in this case, thymol thyme. The essential oil has an amber colour and a pungent, spicy, slightly floral fragrance.

With its warm, powerful scent and pungent, burning flavour, you can combine it with the scents of bergamot, juniper, lemon, mandarin, niaouli, petitgrain and rosemary. Thyme is one of the plants with the most numerous properties, and also one of the most powerful. It is principally an anti-infective, acting on recurrent infections. It is also an effective remedy for colds and muscular pains.

But its properties don't stop there. It has many other uses, such as stimulating capillary circulation (dandruff, hair loss) and as an intestinal antiseptic (digestion, flatulence).

Here are just a few examples of use 

To boost the body's natural resistance and maintain tone and vitality, add 1 drop of Thyme essential oil to 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 to 3 times a day for 3 consecutive days (maximum daily dose: 3 drops, i.e. 0.12 ml).

We recommend mixing a few drops of essential oil with a vegetable oil (sweet almond, jojoba, macadamia, rose hip, argan, olive, etc.) to use as a massage oil.

To keep skin and feet healthy, particularly in the case of fungal infections, mix 1 drop of Thyme essential oil in a neutral vegetable oil, then massage in locally.

For devitalized hair : 2 drops of thyme + 2 drops of ylang ylang + 2 drops of geranium + 2 drops of juniper emulsified in a spoonful of honey, then add to 250 ml of cleansing base.

To help stimulate the body's natural defences, mix 10 drops of Thymol Thyme + 20 drops of Scots Pine + 50 drops of Tea Tree, then diffuse for 15 to 30 minutes in living areas.

To help stimulate the body's natural defences, mix 1 drop of thyme + 2 drops of eucalyptus globulus or rosemary camphor, then disperse in a bowl of hot water.

 As essential oils are not water-soluble, they need to be mixed with an emulsifier before pouring into the bath. For example, they can be mixed with liquid soap, neutral shampoo (1 tablespoon) or our Solubol® dispersant. As a general rule, we advise you not to exceed 10 drops per bath and not to stay in the bath for more than 20 minutes. For an invigorating aromatic bath, disperse 2 drops of thyme + 5 drops of lavender + 5 drops of geranium in the bath on waking.
