Thyme thujanol essential oil Thymus vulgaris L.
An aromatherapy classic!
The sweet aroma of thyme, reminiscent of honey and summer, is traditionally associated with an uplifting atmosphere, a sense of warmth, and vitality. Its fragrance may help dispel a gloomy mood and create a brighter ambience.
Thyme exhibits remarkable chemical diversity, so its essential oils are classified into chemotypes according to their dominant constituents—linalool, thymol, thujanol, p-cymene, and geraniol. In this context, the chemotype is more important than the botanical variety (Spanish thyme, common thyme, etc.).
Traditional sources describe the aroma of thyme as helping create the impression of a fresher environment and refreshed indoor air. During the cold season, it is often chosen for diffusion to reduce the feeling of a stuffy atmosphere. Its fragrance is also appreciated during seasonal transitions.
Our common thyme essential oil belongs to the thujanol chemotype, containing approximately 25% thujanol. This is a relatively rare chemotype with a low essential oil yield, making it more valuable. It is highly appreciated for its gentler aromatic profile and for being free of phenols, which are often associated with a more intense aroma. For these reasons, thyme CT thujanol is a favourite choice among aromatherapists.
Looking for a more intense aromatic profile for adults? Choose our thyme CT thymol essential oil instead.
Please note: these essential oils are not registered as medicinal products or biocides.
Natural plant essential oils not only offer pleasant aromas but also help create a cosy, harmonious, and biologically favourable environment. Such an atmosphere is especially valued by city dwellers who spend much of their time indoors and is important for children's naturally developing emotional balance.

Thyme. Since ancient times, thyme has been considered a symbol of vital energy and strength. It dispels sadness, warms the heart, and gives a positive, even warlike feeling. Particularly recommended for use in winter or when the seasons change.
Thyme oil is one of the hottest and most 'alive' essential oils. The herbalist John Gerard described it in 1597 as 'hot and dry in the third degree (or even in the strongest fourth degree)'. It is an activator of body energy.
Thyme oils are divided into chemotypes based on the predominant compounds – thymol, carvacrol, thujanol, linalool, geraniol. All chemotypes have strong antiseptic properties, with thymol and carvacrol having the strongest antimicrobial activity.
Our thyme oil is thuyanol chemotype
Not all the properties of this product are mentioned here. Unfortunately, due to the EU regulation of health claims, we cannot inform you in detail, even if the benefits of this product are scientifically proven.
As the seasons change, thyme essential oil can be used in winter as follows:
- For children, unless otherwise advised by a specialist: evaporate indoors, add when washing the house, put a couple of drops on the corner of a pillow or on a garment, dilute in vegetable oil at a ratio of 0.5 – 1% (e.g. 1 – 2 drops of essential oil to a teaspoon of almond oil), rub on the chest and soles. If the essential oil is not irritating to the skin, dilute a little and apply to the pannus (not the mucous membrane).
- Essential oils are not necessary for babies without a specialist's recommendation; babies receive their immunity through breast milk and aromatherapy can be used by other family members. If necessary, it is sufficient to just lightly diffuse essential oils in the room, add them when washing surfaces, and apply 1 drop to the floor away from the face. A baby's respiratory tract is very sensitive, so the smell should be barely perceptible in the room, and the rule of 'less is better' should be followed. It is safe for babies to use hydrolats – lavender, myrtle, tea tree, didramonium.
- For adults, these essential oils are also effective. It is great for steaming indoors, for use in massages, balms, breathing in hot vapours with a few drops, etc. When applied to the skin, it can be diluted to a higher concentration, e.g. 2%.
