Thyme essential oil, certified organic

Thyme essential oil is steam distilled from Thymus vulgaris, a low-growing perennial herb widely known as culinary or “garden” thyme. The plant typically reaches around 30cm in height and features small green-grey, elliptical leaves and tubular flowers, most commonly mauve in colour. The resulting essential oil has a warm, sweet, herbaceous aroma that is both familiar and distinctive.

Background
The name thyme is thought to originate from the Greek thymon, meaning “to fumigate”, reflecting its long history of use in aromatic and cleansing practices. It has also been associated with the Greek thumon, meaning courage. Historically, thyme was linked with bravery and strength, from Roman soldiers bathing with the herb to medieval traditions of gifting thyme sprigs to knights before battle.

Common Uses

  • Aromatherapy: Commonly used for its strong, herbaceous aroma in diffusers and blends.

  • Home fragrance: Often included in natural air-freshening and cleaning blends for a fresh, clean scent.

  • DIY cleaning: A popular addition to homemade surface sprays and cleaning formulations.

  • Soapmaking: Used to add a robust herbal note to cold and hot process soaps.

  • Massage and body oils: Suitable for use when properly diluted in a carrier oil.

  • Potpourri and sachets: Adds a warm herbal note to dry blends for cupboards and drawers.
