White Thyme Essential Oil and Peru Balsam Essential Oil

White Thyme: Our White Thyme has a 31.5% Thujone content and reputed to be strongly anti-viral. It is considered an antibacterial agent and helps to treat tick bites, prevent infection and has been known to work as a fungicide. Because of its Thujone content, please avoid use during pregnancy or with small children. This product is first steam distilled from the flowers of the plant which creates a red thyme oil. The redestillation produces the more gentle white thyme.

Peru Balsam: Aged for 3 years prior to selling to you, this essential oil improves with time, developing a richer, more dense sensual scent. This sweet, tabacco scent is reminiscent of a smoky vanilla. Though this essential oil smells delightful, it is considered a skin sensitizer (potentially causing allergies) so use sparingly in leave-on products. This blends well with Patchouli, Vanilla and Musk for a deeper richer scent. As an aromatherapy oil, Julia Lawless recommends it for Bronchitis, colds, coughing and the flu. This essential oil is kosher and lip balm safe at under .5% usage rate.
