I haven't had any thyme oil on hand for a while, and I spied this specialty and had to have it. I really like the long shelf life it provides, and I look forward to using it.

I ordered this and within a couple of days time had an attack of shingles on the left side of my face. I applied this oil to the blisters which dried them up within 12 hours. I am so very glad this oil came to my attention when it did.
