Thyme Oil is a Potent Healer!
Healing is greatly sped up when you use certain essential oils. One of these oils, found in the formula called Oram Plus, is thymus vulgaris, or thyme oil. Thyme grows wild in southern Europe, but is grown in gardens around the world. Thyme is in the mint family, but has a range of medicinal properties unique from the rest of the mints. The oil contains chemicals called phenols which account for its anti-microbial activity. The germ fighting power of thyme oil is reported to be strong.
In the past, thyme has been used as a temple incense, to ward off diseases, and to encourage the heart of a knight heading off to battle. Now it is considered among the best oils to do away with bacteria. Since bacteria is at the heart of gum disease, it makes sense that thyme oil would be included in an oil blend designed for gum health.
