the history of thyme essential oil
Thyme oil, extracted from the thyme plant (Thymus vulgaris), has a rich and ancient history dating back thousands of years. Originating from Mediterranean regions, this plant was already used in Egyptian and Greek civilizations for its medicinal, culinary properties, and even in funeral rites, where it was used for embalming. In the Middle Ages, thyme was valued for its antiseptic properties. It was used to treat battlefield wounds and to combat the plague. Ladies of the time often carried thyme in sachets to benefit from its fragrance and supposed protective properties. In ancient Greece, thyme was a symbol of courage and strength. It was used in their baths and burned as incense in temples to purify the atmosphere. The Romans used it to purify their homes and added the herb to their food to impart aroma and digestive virtues. The distillation of thyme oil began to be documented in the 16th century, although extraction methods may have been known much earlier. This essential oil was valued for its effectiveness in treating respiratory infections, digestive problems, and as a remedy for various ailments, including colds and coughs. Today, thyme oil is widely recognized and used in aromatherapy for its beneficial effects on the mind and body, as well as in the cosmetic field for its antibacterial properties and invigorating scent. Its use continues to evolve, but the link between thyme and the pursuit of well-being remains as strong as in antiquity

Bath: Adding a few drops of diluted thyme oil to bath water can help relieve muscle pain and promote relaxation.

THE INGREDIENTS TO KNOW BEFORE USING THYME OIL
1. Thymol: This is the main active component of thyme oil. Thymol is a powerful antiseptic, but it can be very irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. At high concentrations, it can cause severe skin reactions and even burns.
2. Carvacrol: Similar to thymol, carvacrol is another phenolic compound found in thyme oil. It has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, but can also be irritating to the skin and respiratory tract in cases of excessive exposure.3
3. Cymene: This compound can contribute to skin and respiratory irritation. It is also suspected to be a potential endocrine disruptor.
4. Linalool: Although less irritating than other compounds, linalool, found in many essential oils, can cause allergic reactions in some people, especially after prolonged or repeated exposure.
