Thyme Essential Oil is prized for its medicinal, odorous, culinary, household, and cosmetic applications. Industrially, it is used for food preservation and also as a flavoring agent for sweets and beverages. The oil and its active constituent Thymol can also be found in various natural and commercial brands of mouthwash, toothpaste, and other dental hygiene products. In cosmetics, Thyme Oil’s many forms include soaps, lotions, shampoos, cleansers, and toners.
Diffusion is an excellent way to make use of the therapeutic properties of Thyme Oil. A few drops added to a diffuser (or diffuser blend) can help purify the air and bring forth a fresh, serene ambiance that energizes the mind and eases the throat and sinuses. This can be especially strengthening to the body during winter weather. To benefit from the expectorant properties of Thyme Oil, fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Transfer the hot water to a heat-proof bowl and add 6 drops of Thyme Essential Oil, 2 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. Hold a towel over the head and close the eyes before bending over the bowl and inhaling deeply. This herbal steam can be particularly soothing for those with colds, coughs, and congestion.
Aromatically, the brisk, warming scent of Thyme Oil serves as a strong mental tonic and stimulant. Simply inhaling the scent can comfort the mind and provide confidence during periods of stress or uncertainty. Diffusing Thyme Oil during lazy or unproductive days can also be an excellent antidote to procrastination and lack of focus.
Properly diluted, Thyme Oil is a refreshing ingredient in massage blends addressing pain, stress, fatigue, indigestion, or soreness. An added benefit is that its stimulatory and detoxifying effects can help firm the skin and improve its texture, which can be useful for those with cellulite or stretch marks. For an abdominal self-massage that facilitates digestion, combine 30 mL (1 fl. oz.) with 2 drops of Thyme Oil and 3 drops of Peppermint Oil. Laying on a flat surface or the bed, warm the oils in the palm of your hand and gently massage the abdominal area with kneading motions. This will help ease flatulence, bloating, and symptoms of irritable bowel ailments.
Used on the skin, Thyme Oil may be beneficial for those afflicted with acne to help achieve clearer, detoxified, and more balanced skin. It is best suited for cleansing applications such as soaps, shower gels, facial oil cleansers, and body scrubs. To make an invigorating Thyme Sugar Scrub, combine 1 cup of White Sugar and 1/4 cup of a preferred Carrier Oil with 5 drops each of Thyme, Lemon, and Grapefruit Oil. Apply one palmful of this scrub onto wet skin in the shower, exfoliating in circular motions to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
Added to shampoo, conditioner, or hair mask formulations, Thyme Oil helps naturally clarify hair, ease build-up, alleviate dandruff, eliminate lice, and soothe the scalp. Its stimulant properties may also help promote hair growth. Try adding a drop of Thyme Oil for every tablespoon (roughly 15 mL or 0.5 fl. oz.) of shampoo you use to benefit from the fortifying qualities of Thyme on the hair.
Thyme Oil is particularly effective in DIY cleaning products and is well-suited for kitchen cleaners because of its wonderful herbal fragrance. To make your own all-natural surface cleaner, combine 1 cup of White Vinegar, 1 cup of water, and 30 drops of Thyme Oil in a spray bottle. Cap the bottle and shake thoroughly combine all ingredients. This cleaner is suitable for most countertops, floors, sinks, toilets, and other surfaces.
