The History of Benchmark Thyme
Benchmark thyme is a specially formulated blend of thyme oils, with thymol and linalool being its major components, together with relatively high concentration of alpha-terpinene and terpinen-4-ol, compounds found in tea tree oil but not usually in thyme oil. All four of these chemicals have particularly strong antibacterial effects and are found in a variety of essential oils, to varying degrees, but not in high concentration in one single oil—giving it a power punch against microbes, which is why four different thyme plants were put together to create benchmark thyme. This unique blend is powerful against bacteria but still gentle on the skin.
Maggie Tisserand, who has been involved with essential oils since the mid-1970s and is the author/co-author of five books on aromatherapy, worked with distillers to create this wonderful co-distilled oil. Read about her research on essential oils that work against MRSA in her book Aromatherapy VS MRSA.Tisserand’s MRSA work and her benchmark thyme oil are “the result of many years’ research and analysis into finding the best combination of Thyme plants.” The plants are ethically grown (chemical and pesticide free) in the UK.
