It’s one of the most beneficial herbs to have around during cold and flu season. In addition to killing bacteria and viruses, thyme helps the body to eliminate toxins and strengthen the immune system by supporting the formation of white blood cells, boosting resistance to invading organisms.

Thyme Essential Oil and Breast Cancer

Thyme essential oil has been used to induce cell death in breast cancer cells. After 72 hours of treatment, thyme essential oil killed 98 percent of human breast cancer cells. The essential oil of common thyme contains 20-54% thymol. Thymol belongs to a naturally occurring class of compounds known as “biocides”. Biocides are substances that can destroy harmful organisms. When thymus is used alongside other biocides, such as carvacrol, it has strong antimicrobial qualities.

A recent study found that “Thyme oil can inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation at a concentration of 365.37 μg/mL. Overall, our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the pharmacological mechanism of Thyme oil in breast cancer treatment and suggest its potential as a new or adjuvant therapy” (study).
