1. Acts as an expectorant: Thyme oil helps relieve bronchitis and coughs. For internal use, 1–2 drops can be used, and for external use 5–7 drops in boiling water for inhalation or via aromatherapy.

2. Fights bacteria and parasites: Thyme oil helps treat bacterial intestinal, vaginal and urinary infections. For bacteria in the respiratory system: rub 2–4 drops mixed with a carrier oil into the affected area and take 2–3 drops internally.

3. Refreshes the skin: Thyme oil protects the skin from harmful bacteria and fungal infections – for acne, wounds, cuts, rashes and scars. Thyme oil is a powerful antioxidant and slows down the ageing process (2–4 drops externally, mixed with a carrier oil).

4. Soothes inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease and colitis: Mix 1 drop each of thyme oil, frankincense oil, chamomile oil, peppermint oil and ginger oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and take internally morning and evening until the symptoms subside.

5. Serves as an insect repellent: Thyme oil successfully repels mosquitoes, fleas, lice and bedbugs. It is also suitable against moths. Apply externally or via aromatherapy.

6. Supports a healthy hormonal balance: Thyme oil has a progesterone-balancing effect and can relieve menopausal symptoms, mood swings, hot flushes and insomnia. Rub onto the neck, wrists and feet, and also use in an aroma lamp.

7. Fights uterine fibroids (muscular tumours of the female reproductive system): Fibroids are caused by high levels of oestrogen and low levels of progesterone. Mix 2 drops each of thyme oil, juniper oil and frankincense oil and rub into the ovarian area twice a day.
