The use of thyme leaves and the distilled oil for culinary, household and medicinal purposes goes back into the mists of ‘thyme’. It was an essential ingredient in the herbal medicine and religious traditions of ancient Mediterranean cultures.
The steam distillation process further intensifies its penetrating and powerful aroma and just a few drops will add a burst of herbaceous spiciness wherever it’s used. Its invigorating fragrance makes a perfect addition to homemade shampoo, stimulating your senses at the same time as cleansing your hair.
Try creating a citrus sensation by blending with bergamot, grapefruit or lemon or go for a more herby note by mixing with rosemary or pine.
