## About
Some oils arrive only after a long search. We looked for this thyme for years, and it has earned its place in the cabinet: a thyme that keeps the character of the herb while going easier on the skin than some of its sharper relatives.It is Thymus vulgaris of the thujanol chemotype, organically produced and steam-distilled in France. Thyme comes in several chemotypes, the same plant carrying a different chemistry depending on where and how it grows, and this one is safer and less irritating than some of the high-phenol varieties. It blends well with Hyssop, Lavender and Ravensara.DetailsBotanical name: Thymus vulgaris ct. thujanolOrigin: FranceMethod: steam distillationOrganically producedShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useDilute it in a carrier oil for massage blends, perhaps with Lavender, or add a few drops to a diffuser with Hyssop or Ravensara.
