Discover our Thyme Paracymene Essential Oil 100% Organic and Handcrafted
An aromatic evergreen, Thyme is a genus of plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It comes in several varieties. Among the best-known are Common Thyme and Wild Thyme.
Thyme is a small plant that thrives in well-drained, sunny soil. As such, it is particularly fond of the Mediterranean.
Although the origin of its name is uncertain, it was used in ancient times by the Greeks and Romans as incense or perfume. From the Middle Ages onwards, it was widely used as an aromatic and culinary aid.
Much appreciated for its fragrance, it is also known for its aromatherapy properties. Its virtues are mainly linked to the presence of phenols (thymol and carvacrol) and monoterpenols (geraniol, linalool, terpineol, thujanol), whose varying concentrations according to biotope and harvesting period determine six different chemotypes.
The paracymene contained in our Thyme essential oil of the same name is recognized for its analgesic effects, particularly on joint pain.
