Thyme linalool hydrosol is obtained by artisanal distillation of the flower tops of Thymus vulgaris, a plant species found in France. This hydrosol is a clear liquid with a herbaceous, slightly floral scent that is highly valued for its medicinal properties.
One of the most significant benefits of Thyme linalool hydrosol is its potent antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties. These properties make it invaluable for various dermal infections, acne, insect bites, and wound cleaning. According to Suzanne Catty, a renowned aromatherapist, the hydrosol's anti-infectious and healing properties make it particularly effective in helping clear up bedsores. It is gentle enough for even the very ill, making it a suitable remedy for those who require extra care.
For individuals with normal to oily skin types, Thyme linalool hydrosol is an excellent choice for facial application. It has a pH that is close to the skin's natural pH and is highly recommended for its ability to soothe skin irritations. You can blend it with Neroli and Cistus hydrosols to compress large pores and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
The linalool chemotype of Thyme is the gentlest of all Thyme varieties, making it safe even for infants and children. If your little one is suffering from diaper rash, adding the linalool chemotype of Thyme to their bathwater can provide relief, especially when chamomile or lavender hasn't worked.
