For those wondering what the difference is between this Thyme and Thyme Linalool, it is merely a different chemotype. Both oils come from the same plant but are chemically different. Because of this, Thyme Linalool is gentler and better suited for topical use while Thyme Thymol, the stronger of the two, is used for its antibacterial properties and the many benefits listed.

Give Your Cleaning a Boost

In addition to being a fabulous surface cleaner, it can also help clean the air when diffused. Just make sure to use no more than three drops in your diffuser.

It can also be useful to help clean minor cuts and scrapes, just be sure to dilute no more than 1.3% to help avoid skin irritation.

Give Your Immune System Support

Keeping your home clean is just one tool you can use to help avoid sicknesses this year. Making sure your immune system has the support it needs is just as crucial. Thyme Thymol is a great choice for this. And if you do happen to get sick, it’s also useful for helping to clear the respiratory system. Just add 2-3 drops to your diffuser. Try combining with along with Rosalina, Spruce, or Fir needle to help ease congestion and promote better air quality.

Because Thyme Thymol can help with circulation, it’s very useful for helping soothe sore muscles and digestive issues. Because the topical dilution rate for this oil is lower, try adding it to your favorite pain-relieving blends. For those times that your stomach is upset, dilute just one drop in an ounce of carrier oil and massage onto your abdomen in a clockwise manner.
