Product Abstract and Benefits: Thyme oil comes from the perennial herb known as Thymus Satureiodes Coss, a member of the mint family, which is used for cooking, mouthwashes, potpourri and aromatherapy. It’s native to Morocco from the western Mediterranean to southern Italy. 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. During the Middle Ages it was given to jousting knights for courage, and a sprig of thyme was later carried into courtrooms to ward off diseases (as well as to freshen the air). Thyme oil is antiseptic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, hypertensive and has calming properties.
Thyme oil is one of the strongest antioxidants known, and it has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times. Thyme supports the immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous and other body systems. It’s one of the best essential oils for hormones because it balances hormone levels — helping 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.
