Thyme Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown Thymol: Thymol is a monoterpenoid phenol and is what provides the oil with the strong, aromatic aroma we think of as Thyme.

It's the main component that contributes the most to Thyme Essential Oil benefits. p-Cymene: p-Cymene is natural to plants, and is classified as an aromatic monoterpene. Its aroma is both sweet and mild and it appears colorless. Carvacrol: Similar to thymol, carvacrol is also classified as a phenolic monoterpenoid. It is a natural component of both Oregano and Thyme Essential Oils, among others. Multiple studies indicate that carvacrol contains antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. However, minimal research on humans means more study is necessary. Gamma-Terpinene: Gamma-terpinene is a monoterpene that plays a role as both an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. B-Caryophyllene: A terpene with a spicy, aromatic aroma, caryophyllene is also a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid. It has antioxidant properties, and preliminary research indicates it may be effective at lowering stress and anxiety levels. hence, the Thyme Essential Oil benefits around the psychological area could be acquired with the help of this chemical component.

It is also a natural insecticide, and as such is listed on the US EPA website. a-Pinene: a-Pinene is an alkene, naturally occurring in many plants.
