Recent research has shown that thyme essential oil and its thymol ingredient have powerful antiseptic properties. Thymol is often included in numerous mouthwashes and antiseptic wipes.
Another study has shown that thyme relieves pain, and thyme oil has traditionally been used to relieve pain for hundreds of years.
Findings from a study at Iran's Babol University of Medical Sciences have confirmed that thyme is an extremely potent herb to relieve pain, and relieves menstrual pain even better than ibuprofen.
This study involved 84 university women who reported difficult menstruation, aged between 18 and 24 years, and all of them suffered from primary dysmenorrhea.
They are painful cramps during the menstrual cycle, usually accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, back pain and headaches. Secondary dysmenorrhea is manifested by menstrual pain that is related to another underlying condition.
In addition, primary dysmenorrhea occurs within two years of the onset of menstruation (menarche) and women do not experience pelvic pain during other parts of the monthly cycle.
These are some of the most important uses of thyme essential oil:
Anti- Rheumatic: Rheumatism is a result of arthritis, inadequate or obstructed circulation, or gout, the increased concentration of toxins, such as uric acid in the bloodstream. Thyme essential oil is extremely effective in both cases as it has diuretic properties and removes the toxins through the urine. It also acts as a stimulant, activating circulation.
