Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Thyme chemotype (ct.) linalol is a very wonderful thyme oil for supporting the immune system. The oil has a calming effect, is very anti-infectious, and can be used in the long term to support health. I like to use it for people who have allergies, get colds often, and are generally prone to getting sick. It is gentle and powerful, and can be used with children or adults.
