White Thyme is a wonderful antiseptic essential oil and an excellent anti-inflammatory. Its main component is thymol, widely used today in mouthwashes, some toothpastes, hand sanitizers and acne medications.  (It’s part of the mint family.)  It is very strong so never put it directly on your skin without diluting it.   A few of the “super powers” of White Thyme follow:

• It can help clear your airways, as you will notice when you inhale it for the first time! It is an ingredient in many cough drops and syrups (it is also anti-spasmodic!), and is great (like eucalyptus) for clear sinuses and killing germs that could cause colds or flu.
• It helps bolster the immune system and is a strong antiseptic.
• It helps boost blood circulation.
