Thyme Essential Oil

About Thyme oil

Thymol Linalool is one of 300 different types of Thyme oil. Also known as “garden” or “mild” Thyme, it is gentler than other varieties and is ideal to use on your skin when diluted.

We often use Thyme as a seasoning in cooking but it is also powerfully cleansing and purifying with antifungal and antibacterial properties. Research shows that it supports immunity when taken internally. Because our Thyme oil is food-grade quality, it is safe for this purpose.

Thyme oil Benefits

 

Cedarwood essential oil is cleansing and moisturising, and helps your skin, hair and scalp remain healthy. It soothes irritations, treats infections, redness and itchiness, and can prevent acne breakouts. It also heals minor cuts and scrapes. If you have arthritis, achy joints or sore muscles, Cedarwood oil’s anti-inflammatory properties are very effective.

11 ways to use Thyme oil for your body 

 

Immunity

2 drops Thyme oil

2 drops Lemon oil

2 drops Clove oil  lemon

Rub it into your chest and neck, twice a day.

 

Colds, coughs, sore throats

To soothe congestion and the dry tingling of a sore throat, create a herbal steam. To a pot of very hot water add:

6 drops Thyme oil

2 drops  Eucalyptus oil

2 drops Lemon Oil.

Hold a towel over your head, close your eyes and bend over the bowl, inhaling deeply for 5 minutes.

Skin infections

To heal skin infections, bites and bruises, and promote healthy skin, dilute 1 to 2 drops of Thyme oil with a carrier oil such as almond or jojoba oil. Apply the solution to targeted areas on the skin.

 

 

Upset stomach

For an abdominal self-massage to ease digestion, bloating and irritable bowel, combine:

2 drops Thyme oil

3 drops Peppermint oil.

30ml carrier oil (almond or jojoba)

 

Lie on flat surface or the bed, warm the oils in the palm of your hand and gently massage your stomach in a circular motion.

 

Sore muscles

When your whole body is aching after a tough workout, create a relaxing Thyme oil massage blend of 2 to 4 drops of Thyme oil and a teaspoon of carrier oil. This releases muscle tension and reduces soreness.
You can also add Thyme oil to a bath for a soothing soak. Add 10 to 15 drops into warm bathwater.

 

 

Arthritis and rheumatism

Blend a few drops of Thyme oil with a carrier oil and massage into tender or inflamed joints a few times a day.

 

Acne and pimples

If you have a few spots, you can use Thyme oil to target individual pimples. Being more gentle than other Thyme oils, it will soothe problem skin without causing irritation.

Add 1 drop of Thyme oil to 10 drops of a carrier oil. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and apply to individual pimples. Leave the oil on your skin and the pimples should dry out after about 30 minutes

Facemask

To treat your whole face, add 2–3 drops of Thyme oil to 2–4 tablespoons of plain yoghurt. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face (avoid the eye area). Leave on for 10 minutes, then wash off with warm water.

 

Cellulite and stretch marks

Create a blend of Thyme oil and a carrier oil and massage into cellulite to stimulate and detoxify the skin. The oil also firms the skin and improves its texture.

 

Warts

Once a day, use a cotton bud to place a drop of Thyme oil on the wart.

 

Dandruff

Thyme Oil cleanses the hair, soothes the scalp and reduces the build-up of dandruff. Its stimulant properties may also promote hair growth.

1/2 cup castile soap

1/2 cup water

(stir this mixture)
