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.
