Thyme

Thyme has been a daily use oil lately since there are so many people getting sick, who are sick, or getting over being sick....I refuse to get sick!  As I feel something coming on, I've been resting and applying Thyme oil to my feet. Some applications have been every hour for a few hours, or just before bed. I am happy to report that despite all the bugs going around, I have been able to keep well. This I am happy to accredit to the FABULOUS antibacterial and antiviral properties of Thyme. It is an oil that  helps to energize in time of physical weakness and stress. And Thyme is also uplifting and  aids in relieving depression.

About Thyme
Thyme is naturally anti-fungal and antibacterial. Other antiseptic qualities make Thyme very useful as a disinfectant, especially useful as a suppressive for mold and fungus.  It has also been historically used as a remedy for toe fungus, often with Oregano essential oil.  Its antispasmodic qualities provide relief to some women suffering from menstrual cramps. Finally, it is a great cough and sore throat remedy. The dōTerra Essential Oil Thyme is of the botanical family Lamiaceae (Labiatae) and is grown in Germany with the oil being processed by steam distillation form the herb.
Typical Applications
Thyme is very effective against fungus and mold when diffused in the general area.  Thyme is certified as GRAS by the FDA and can be taken internally.  For sore throats, laryngitis, or congestive infections take with juice, agaves, or honey or it may be gargled or used in oil pulling.  It can be applied neat to areas of fungus, like toenails.  Thyme can also be used as a surface disinfectant.

IMMORTELLE

I have yet to tell of any of the roll-on products...and this is month to do so. I love the IMMORTELLE! After a visit to the dermatologist and some freezing of spots on my face and a biopsy of another area, I needed something to help my raw skin heal. I used IMMORTELLE on the wound and those spots healed beautifully! I am so happy with the results! This blend is great for the skin and for promoting healthy cellular function while still being hydrating. 

Primary Uses: Aging, Chapped/Cracked Skin, Dry Skin, Revitalizing, and Wrinkles.
