The Warrior's Shield
Red Thyme • Thymus zygis • The Oil of Fiery Purification
Ignite Your Vitality. Purify Your Space. Stand Strong. Red Thyme is the botanical equivalent of a tempered steel shield. Unlike its gentler cousins, this specific variety, sourced from the sun-drenched lands of Spain, is a powerhouse of intensity. It carries the ancient energy of the Greek thymos—courage, fire, and spirited action—in its most potent form.
In the Pranic Lifestyle, Red Thyme is not a gentle healer; it is a fierce purifier. It resonates with the Root and Solar Plexus chakras, burning away energetic stagnation, fortifying the will, and creating an impenetrable barrier against negativity. It is an oil for times when you need strength, deep cleansing, and the courage to face challenges head-on.
A Tale of Two Thymes: Understanding the "Warrior" Chemotype
Not all Thyme is created equal. This is the Thymol Chemotype (Red Thyme), the "Warrior" of the thyme family. It is crucial to distinguish this from gentler varieties.
- Thyme ct. Thymol (This Oil - The Warrior): Rich in the powerful phenol *thymol*, this oil is "hot," medicinal, and intensely purifying. It demands respect and extreme dilution but offers unparalleled strength for environmental and energetic cleansing.
- Thyme ct. Linalool (The Nurturer): A different, gentler chemotype suitable for sensitive skin and children. This product is NOT the gentle linalool variety.

The Safety Vault: A Guide to Respectful Use
Red Thyme is a "hot" oil containing 51% thymol. It is a powerful irritant and demands strict adherence to safety protocols.
- EXTREME SKIN IRRITANT: This oil is "hot" and can cause severe skin irritation or burns if used improperly. NEVER apply undiluted to the skin.
- STRICT DILUTION LIMITS: For topical use, dilute to a maximum of 1% (approx. 6 drops per 1oz/30ml of carrier oil). Always perform a patch test first.
- AVOID SENSITIVE AREAS: Never use in baths, on the face, or near mucous membranes.
- CONTRAINDICATIONS: Avoid use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with young children. Individuals with high blood pressure should use caution.
- PET TOXICITY: A CRITICAL WARNING. Thyme oil is toxic to cats and dogs. NEVER apply topically to pets or diffuse in unventilated rooms where they are present.
