Thyme Geraniol Essential Oil, AOP Organic, France

Thyme Geraniol This hard to find French essential oil is distilled from the flowering parts of the plant. This essential oil makes a great addition in skincare blends, and whenever a bio-active, fresh and a bit spicy lamiacae oil is called for.     Thymus vulgaris v Thuyanol, Thymus vulgaris v Geraniol, Thymus vulgaris v Linalool Labiateae family Various types of thyme are grown around the world, in almost every climate, and varying constituents, and appearances, but they are all thyme. We at Enfleurage have three and these are all specific to different uses. They are all Thymus vulgaris and the basic indications for thyme are woven throughout. All of our thymes are considered to be of more skin-friendly chemotypes. Arctander is not very helpful on this “thymly” occasion. The thymes he refers to are the “red” or “white” thyme (vulgaris) or the zygis or serpolet. There’s also the confusion between oregano and thyme and savory etc. Excuse me, but we don’t have “thyme” for that! I know, it’s corny, but I can’t help it. This is all just to say we are not going to talk much about the perfume possibilities of thyme here. There’s no thyme for it (sorry.)

I might have built a wooden seat between Two plants of rosemary, their astringent Scent seeping through your workshirt to the clean Flesh of your back. I would have grown a plant Of basil for you to stroke into form; And, certainly, a row of lavender To infuse carefully over a warm Stove, for you to sip at whenever The world became darkened with sick headaches, Or a loss of blood whitened your small hands   Now, to Sal Battaglia and The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy Thyme in general is known for strong anti-microbial activity and useful in a wide variety of applications. It’s also recommended for the digestive system as an appetite stimulant and as a carminative. Thyme in general is recommended for all types of infections and stimulates white blood cell production, so it’s an asset to the immune system. Musculoskeletal system-injuries, arthritis, etc, cramps Nervous system—stimulant and nerve tonic Respiraotry system—so many uses and indications: for colds, congestion, catarrh, etc It’s notable that the thymol and carvacrol chemotypes have the most anti-microbial activity, according to studies. These chemotypes have the highest risk for skin sensitization and irritation. I encourage you to read as much as possible about thyme. Linalool Ct Thyme linalool is the ones considered to be gentle on the skin. Linalool is a constituent one finds in lavender, so that will give you an idea. Holmes, via Battaglia, says Linlool can be recommended for specific fungal, bacterial and viral infections. He also recommends the linalool Chemotype for emotional issues etc Thyme linalool is considered to have great infection fighting properties while being safe enough to use topically. Thyme Thujanol This is a wild thyme from the mountains of Provence. Known as "the King of Aromatherapy," this thyme chemotype is well tolerated on the skin. Thyme thujanol can be used directly and undiluted on the skin (this applies to most people--it's safer to patch test first.) Schnaubelt, via Battaglia, states that the Thuyanol chemotype is not only non-toxic and non-irritating, but the oil is very strong in antiviral and antibacterial qualities. He recommends this cheomtype is useful for internal as well as external use. Holmes, via Battaglia, states that Thyme Thuyanol is an arterial circulatory stimulant with warming and tonifying actions, useful for bacterial and viral infections or respiratory and urogenital systems. Geraniol Holmes, via Battaglia, states that Thyme Geraniol is a cardiac restorative Blend thyme with other oils in the spirit of what you are blending for. Some suggestions: Black pepper, ginger, spike lavender, sweet marjoram, eucalyptus, myrtle, pine, tea tree, lemon, cinnamon bark, geranium, lavender, sweet orange or peppermint.   Safety Warning As with most essential oils, dilute before using on skin.
