Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a plant native to Mediterranean Europe widely cultivated as a culinary herb, although it has also been used as a medicinal plant for hundreds of years. It is one of the first medicinal plants used in Western phytotherapy, used in respiratory conditions, digestive problems and prevention and treatment of infections.
In ancient times, thyme forests were considered sacred. Its perfume was considered the breath of Zeus and entered the combination of the so-called "bouquet of the gods". This bouquet had to be collected at dawn, when the plants were still bathed in dew, and was made up of rosemary, mint and thyme, to which a sprig of hyssop was added at night. All this was tied with three braided grass threads. It was believed that hanging this bouquet in a room would bring happiness and health.

YANG
Etymologically it means “the sunny side of the mountain”.
The Yang energy is centripetal, compact, uniting, joining, and gives unity and strength. It is connected to the sun, strength, unity, masculinity, heat, fire, control, speed, movement, energy…
When a person has excess Yang forces in their body, they have too much heat and too much fire, they start hyper-functioning, and must be rebalanced with the addition of Yin energy to re-establish harmony and well-being. A Yang-natured person tends to be impulsive, self-assured, with leadership tendencies, competitive, not very tolerant, exact and specific.
Well-being is defined as a balance between Yin and Yang. An imbalance is the result of a deficit or excess of Yin energy or Yang energy. Ideally, we want to ensure that our body adapts to the changing conditions, maintaining the balance between these two opposite and complementary energies.

Thyme's medicinal properties have been known since ancient times. Our ancestors, faced with colds, nasal or throat congestion, breathed the vapors of medicinal plants such as Thyme. It was said that in addition to clearing the respiratory tract, it helped strengthen the immune system.
We can use the following synergy in our Flask diffuser, to emulate the aroma of cleaning and purification of yesteryear: 3 drops of Thyme, 3 drops of Pine, 3 drops of Eucalyptus and 3 drops of Juniper.
MIX PROPORTIONS:
- Facial Use: we recommend a proportion of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates to 2 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of carrier oil.
- Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of carrier oil.
Diffuser: We recommend the use of diffusers without heat, such as the ALQVIMIA Flask, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
Steam Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a saucepan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and perform inhalations covering the head and the saucepan with a towel, to keep the steam for longer.
Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
