Organic Thyme essential oil is obtained from the dried herb of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) through steam distillation. The yield of essential oil from the plant material ranges between 0.4% and 5%.

Organic thyme essential oil is usually a reddish to brown liquid. It has a characteristic warm, strong, and spicy aroma. The essential oil dissolves easily in alcohol (1:2, 80% ethanol), vegetable oils, and other essential oils, but is almost insoluble in water. The key components are thymol, carvacrol, limonene, linalool, and pinene isomers. The reddish color of the thyme essential oil is caused by natural copper compounds from the phenolic components of thymol and carvacrol.

The constituents of organic thyme essential oil also have medicinal characteristics. Thyme and its preparations have been used since ancient times for treatments and flavoring. It was primarily recognized for its application in respiratory diseases. Organic thyme essential oil is one of the most important essential oils in phytotherapy and aromatherapy. Recent studies have shown that organic thyme essential oil possesses strong antimicrobial properties and can act as a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Particularly in cases of bronchopulmonary infections (bronchitis, whooping cough, rhinitis), it can be used as an ointment, bath oil, and as an additive in massage oil. This effect is attributed to the phenolic constituents thymol and carvacrol. Organic thyme essential oil also has strong analgesic properties, making it suitable as an ointment for rheumatic conditions, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and joint pain. Additionally, it can act as an antispasmodic agent, applied as a bath oil or massage oil for muscle spasms and cramps.

In aromatherapy, organic thyme essential oil is used for its neurotonic and stimulating properties in neuralgia, generalized weakness, sleep disorders, and neurovegetative dystonia. Application can be made using an aromatic lamp, bath oil, or as an additive in massage oils. Organic thyme essential oil is used as a fragrance component to achieve spicy and herbal nuances in perfume production. It is also used to mask other unpleasant odors (top notes). Additionally, it can be found in Eau de Colognes and lavender soaps. In oral care products, it is used for the fresh and herbal flavor it imparts.

Organic thyme essential oil is used in aromatherapy for colds, coughs, contagious diseases, and bronchitis, for relieving muscle pain, and as a memory and concentration enhancer. When incorporated into a carrier oil (such as sea buckthorn, wild rose, jojoba, argan, etc.), it helps with psoriasis issues.
