Benefits of thyme oil

• Treats respiratory conditions

Thyme oil clears congestion and heals chest and throat infections that cause the common cold or cough. The common cold is caused by more than 200 different viruses that can attack the upper respiratory tract and are spread through the air from person to person. Common causes of colds include a weakened immune system, lack of sleep, emotional stress, exposure to mold, and an unhealthy digestive tract.

Thyme oil's ability to kill infections, reduce anxiety, eliminate toxins from the body, and treat insomnia without medication makes it the perfect natural remedy for the common cold. The best part is that it's all natural and doesn't contain the chemicals found in medications.

• Kills bacteria and eliminates infections

Due to thyme's constituents, such as caryophyllene and camphene, the oil is antiseptic and kills infections on the skin and in the body. Thyme oil is also antibacterial and inhibits bacterial growth. This means that thyme oil can treat intestinal infections, bacterial infections in the genitals and urethra, bacteria that accumulate in the respiratory system, and heal cuts or wounds that are exposed to harmful bacteria.

In a 2011 study conducted at the Medical University of Lodz (Poland), the response of thyme oil to 120 strains of bacteria isolated from patients with oral cavity, respiratory, and genitourinary tract infections was analyzed. The results of the experiments showed that thyme oil exhibited extremely strong activity against all clinical strains. Thyme oil even demonstrated good efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains.

Thyme oil is also a vermifuge, so it kills intestinal worms, which can be very dangerous. Use thyme oil in a parasite cleanse to treat roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and worms that grow in open sores.

• Improves skin health

• Thyme essential oil protects the skin from harmful bacteria and fungal infections. It also works as a home remedy for acne, heals sores, wounds, cuts, and scars, soothes burns, and naturally cures rashes.

  Eczema is a common skin disorder that causes dry, red, itchy skin that may blister or crack. This is sometimes due to poor digestion (such as a leaky gut), stress, heredity, medications, and immune deficiencies. Because thyme oil aids the digestive system, stimulates the elimination of toxins from the body through urination, relaxes the mind, and works as an antioxidant, it's the perfect natural treatment for eczema.

  • Promotes dental health

  Thyme oil is known for treating oral problems such as cavities, gingivitis, plaque, and bad breath. With its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, thyme oil is a natural way to kill germs in the mouth to prevent oral infections, thus working as a natural remedy for gum disease and curing bad breath. Thymol, an active component of thyme oil, is used as a dental varnish that protects teeth from cavities.

  • It serves as an insect repellent

  Thyme oil keeps parasites that feed on the body at bay. Pests like mosquitoes, fleas, lice, and bedbugs can wreak havoc on your skin, hair, clothing, and furniture, so keep them at bay with this all-natural essential oil. A few drops of thyme oil also repel moths and beetles, keeping your closet and kitchen safe.

  • Stimulates blood circulation

  Thyme oil is a stimulant, so it boosts circulation. Poor circulation leads to conditions like arthritis and stroke. This powerful oil is also able to relax arteries and veins, reducing stress on the heart and blood pressure. This makes thyme oil a natural remedy for high blood pressure.

  A stroke, for example, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures or a blood vessel to the brain becomes blocked, restricting oxygen to the brain. This lack of oxygen means brain cells die within minutes, leading to balance and movement problems, cognitive deficits, language problems, memory loss, paralysis, seizures, slurred speech, swallowing problems, and weakness. It's crucial to keep blood circulating throughout the body and to the brain because if something devastating like a stroke occurs, you need to seek treatment within one to three hours for it to be effective.

  Stay ahead of your health and use safe, natural remedies like thyme oil to boost blood circulation. Thyme oil is also a tonic, strengthening the circulatory system, strengthening the heart muscles, and keeping blood flowing properly.

  • Relieves stress and anxiety

  Thyme oil is an effective way to combat stress and treat anxiety. It relaxes the body, allowing the lungs, veins, and mind to open and keep the body functioning properly. It's important to stay relaxed and level-headed because constant anxiety can lead to high blood pressure, insomnia, digestive problems, and panic attacks. It can be caused by a hormonal imbalance, which thyme oil can naturally regulate.

  Use a few drops of thyme oil throughout the week to reduce anxiety levels and allow your body to thrive. Add the oil to bath water, a diffuser, body lotion, or simply inhale it.

  • Balances hormones

  Thyme essential oil has progesterone-balancing effects, benefiting the body by improving progesterone production. Both men and many women have low progesterone levels, and low progesterone levels have been linked to infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome, and depression, as well as other imbalanced hormones in the body.

  By stimulating hormones, thyme oil is also known to delay menopause. It is also a natural remedy for menopause relief because it balances hormone levels and relieves menopausal symptoms, including mood swings, hot flashes, and insomnia.

  • Treats fibroids

  Fibroids are connective tissue growths that occur in the uterus. Many women don't experience any symptoms from fibroids, but they can cause heavy menstrual periods. Causes of fibroids include high estrogen levels and low progesterone levels due to obesity, hypothyroidism, perimenopause, or low-fiber diets.

  Because thyme oil increases progesterone levels in the body, it serves as a natural treatment for fibroids. Rub two drops of thyme oil on your abdomen twice a day to treat fibroids and relieve PMS and menstrual symptoms.
