Thyme White Essential Oil for Aromatherapy
Coughs, flu, sinusitis, asthma, immune system, pain relieving for arthritis & rheumatism
This oil works well for coughs, tonsillitis, sinusitis. I have had people who have been really blocked up, then smelt thyme & found it has cleared their airways.
If you suffer with respiratory problems like asthma, bronchitis then mix thyme with some Vaseline 1 drop per 5ml & use this as a chest rub, it will really aid breathing. If you have catarrh then this oil is a very good expectorant. What I like about thyme is it boosts the immune, particularly good with colds & flu. It also destroys micro organisms.
So when you have these illnesses in the house put 3 drops of thyme in the oil burner.
If you suffer with pain from arthritis, rheumatism, gout then this oil can provide pain relief & reduce pain. It is worth using for muscular aches, sprain & poor circulation. Use 4 drops into the bath with a carrier oil or 1 drop mixed with massage oil to gently rub into area that aches.
Thyme can be used for skin care acne, insect bites, and head lice. For abscess I would get some gauze in hot water which 1-2 drops of thyme has been added then apply this to the area for 10 mins at a time
