Thyme plants will produce different types of essential oils depending on the environmental factors like soil and climate.  Isn’t nature amazing!  Thyme has been categorized into several chemotypes (ct.) that have different chemical constituents. The most common types of Thyme essential oils are: Thyme ct. thymol and Thyme ct. linalol. CUREOILS.com sells the Thyme ct. linalol variety.

Thyme is the kind of friend that would say “you got this”.  Diffusing a blend with Thyme during times of grief, disappointment or anxiety can make all the difference.

“After ‘spending time with Thyme,’ people feel supported by life and confident in their ability to heal. They learn to see their fears as invitations to grow and to listen to their hearts when they feel uncertain. Nothing makes Thyme feel stronger than helping others to feel stronger too!”
