Thyme (thymus vulgaris) was recently evaluated in a clinical trial1 to control skin ageing process. In this research a standardized phytocosmetic preparation significantly reduced facial wrinkles and expression lines, as well as promoted face oval remodelling in women volunteers after topical application.
Also, studies have shown wound healing properties and a reduction in psoriasis-like inflammation.
Thyme has a long history in the ancient pharmacopoeia. The essential oil is often helpful with wounds and sores as well as dermatitis, boils and carbuncles. It is also tonic for the scalp and may be effective with dandruff and hair loss.
Regarding the spirit, it strengthens the nerves and activates the brain cells thereby aiding memory and concentration. It revives low spirits, feelings of exhaustion and combats depression. Said also to release mental blockage and trauma.
An essential ingredient of perfume too, since the name is derived from the Greek “thymos” meaning “to perfume”.
In ancient years was also used as incense, burnt at the altars of Greek deities and myth goes that it was born from the copious tears of Helen of Troy.
