A popular oil for baths and ointments, thyme boosts circulation and relieves tired and sore muscles and joints. The oil is an effective antiseptic, helping to clear up fungal infections, as well as fight colds and loosen stubborn phlegm. Its stimulating aroma can help clear and refresh the mind.
What is it good for?
Soothes coughs The antiseptic and antispasmodic properties of thyme essential oil make it a great remedy for easing the symptoms of colds, such as coughs and sore throats, and for soothing the symptoms of chronic bronchitis.
Fights fungal infections Try adding thyme essential oil to hair rinses, or massaging the diluted oil into the scalp, nails, or feet to help clear conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, athlete’s foot, and fungal nail infections.
Eases aches and pains The oil has a warming effect that helps to loosen tight muscles and ease aching joints.
Helps clear acne Studies show that constituents in thyme can be more effective than benzoyl peroxide, the active ingredient in most acne creams or washes, at killing propionibacterium—the bacterium that causes acne.
Enhances well-being Thyme essential oil brings relief when you are feeling anxious, stressed, or low.
Treats urinary-tract infections Thyme essential oil’s antiseptic and antifungal properties make this oil an ideal choice to help deal with uncomfortable urinary-tract infections, such as cystitis.
Improves circulation Thyme essential oil has a stimulating and general toning effect on the circulatory system, which makes it a useful treatment for low blood pressure, weakness, and anemia.
Best Uses:
As a bath oil Add 5–6 drops of thyme essential oil to 1 tablespoon base oil or 1 tablespoon of milk and disperse in a warm bath to help treat urinary-tract infections
As a skin toner Try blending 2 drops each of thyme and mandarin essential oils in a base of 2 teaspoons aloe vera juice to 3 fl oz (90 ml) witch hazel. Shake the blend well and apply with a cotton ball, or pour the blend into a spray bottle and use as a refreshing facial spritzer.
Safe usage Use well diluted (less than 2 percent).
