Red Thyme Essential Oil

Red Thyme Essential Oil
Thymus vulgaris | Plant | Steam Distilled | Origin: Spain

Red Thyme Essential Oil is one of the most potent and stimulating types of Thymus vulgaris, renowned for its high thymol content and robust therapeutic activity. Steam distilled from the flowering plant grown in Spain, this variety has a strong, herbaceous aroma with earthy undertones that reflect its traditional use as a natural purifier and immune tonic.

Used for centuries across the Mediterranean, Thyme has long symbolised courage and vitality. Ancient Greeks burned it as incense in temples, while Romans added it to baths for strength and protection. Today, Red Thyme continues to be valued for its antimicrobial, antiviral, and immune supporting properties. It’s especially beneficial during seasonal changes, helping to ease congestion, soothe sore muscles, and purify the air.

In aromatherapy, Red Thyme is considered both restorative and fortifying, ideal for diffusing during periods of fatigue or emotional depletion. When properly diluted, it can also be used in massage blends for muscle recovery or in chest rubs to support clear breathing.
