The Greeks named the thyme plant "thyo" (to smell good) and since then it has been used for different purposes. PROPOS NATURE's Thymol Thyme Oil is obtained by distillation (vaporization) of the flowers of the Thymus vulgaris plant to preserve its purity and efficacy. In cosmetics, it is used against skin affections like acne, cellular regeneration or for the strengthening of the hair by applying it with a soft massage. In these cases it is necessary to dilute the product in other essential oils of good quality. In gastronomy, a drop is used to flavour food, always mixed with another vegetable oil. To relieve colds and respiratory ailments is very useful if you mix a drop with honey. Its use is recommended only for adults and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
