Thyme (Thymus vulgaris CT thymol), familiar to most as a common seasoning for cooking, produces an essential oil that has valuable cleansing and clarifying properties. It is also notable for its broad-spectrum activity for winter health. Thyme is considered by many herbalists to be a very nearly perfect herb. It ranks as one of the finest herbs of French cuisine. The general rule of using herbs in cooking is - when in doubt use thyme! dōTERRA’s CPTG Thyme Essential Oil comes from thyme plants grown and harvested in Germany.
How to Use dōTERRA Thyme Essential Oil:
1. Apply topically; dilute thyme with dōTERRA’s fractionated coconut oil before applying, as it may cause skin sensitivity.
2. Diffuse; add 1-2 drops to diffuser. Can be blended with other oils as an air purifier (Lemon or Citrus Bliss is ideal).
3. Add as an ingredient to homemade cleaners for deep cleaning in the home or office.
4. Use internally; dilute and add to a gelatin capsule. Can also be added to foods as a seasoning. (Note: Use a toothpick to swirl in the flavor, not a full drop, as it is very concentrated.)
