While its parent plant is known for its use in cooking, Thyme essential oil similarly adds flavoring to foods but also has a warm, herbaceous aroma and contains chemical constituents that make it a powerful topical cleanser, particularly when used on the skin and hair.
Primary Benefits
Description
Why should I add Thyme essential oil to my collection? While Thyme essential oil carries an herbaceous aroma and surface cleansing benefits similar to other herb essential oils, Thyme oil is particularly useful in self-care and hygiene practices. When used in food and beverage flavoring, Thyme offers a fortifying flavor similar to that of Oregano oil.
