Thyme Organic essential oil
Description
Thyme Organic essential oil (Thymus vulgaris CT Thymol) is a powerful purifying ingredient with clear applications: persistent skin imperfections, a problematic scalp, oral hygiene, and home cleaning. Its intense and warm herbaceous-spicy aroma also makes it a strong ingredient in the diffuser, where it contributes to purifying the air and creating a tonic, comforting atmosphere during the cold season.
It is an oil that demands respect in use: powerful, dermocaustic when undiluted, and reserved for precise applications and limited periods. An important detail for those familiar with thyme: there are several chemotypes of Thymus vulgaris. This one, CT Thymol, is the most active and potent. CT Linalool, which is more rarely available, has a much gentler profile. The two are not interchangeable.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Why is Thyme CT Thymol more restricted than other herbaceous oils?
A: Thymol is a phenol, a class of compounds with remarkable purifying activity, but which also attacks our own cell membranes at high concentrations or in direct contact with the skin. Thyme CT Thymol oil is in the same category as Oregano and Clove, "hot oils" that cause dermal and mucous membrane irritation if not properly diluted. Aromatherapy safety guidelines recommend minimal dosing and short-term use, with breaks.
Q: Why is Thyme contraindicated in cases of hepatic insufficiency?
A: Just like Clove and other phenolic oils, thymol is metabolized by the liver. A compromised liver cannot efficiently metabolize these compounds, which can accumulate to toxic levels. This contraindication is documented in toxicological literature and professional aromatherapy guidelines.
