Thyme White NF (Morocco)
(Thymus spp.-Labiatae)
Thyme White essential oil is obtained from the flowering tops. Thyme is distilled mainly in Spain and Israel although the herb is grown throughout Europe. It is a warm and stimulating oil that will relieve muscular pain. It is used to relieve many kinds of infections in the skin, urinary tract and respiratory system. It is a strong antimicrobial and strengthens the immune response. Thymol, thyme’s most active ingredient, is well known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. “The oil from the leaves of this plant, when inhaled, helps to loosen phlegm and relax the muscles in the respiratory tract,” explains Norman R. Farnsworth, Ph.D., director of the Program for Collaborative Research in the Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Note: We use Thyme “White” but there is also Thyme “Red”. What achieves the red color is not the plant but the type of container in which the oil is distilled. Metallic containers oxidize turning the oil red. Onyx containers do not react with the oil leaving the oil in its natural “white” color. It is not known how the therapeutic value is affected by the oxidation of the Thyme Red
