4. Natural Disinfectant
Thyme has potent anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties that make it ideal for use sterilizing surfaces in your home. The United States is amid the rainy season, with storms setting record rainfalls throughout the mid-western region of the U.S.
Unfortunately, excessive rain may lead to leaks in your roof. As the water dries out, it provides the ideal breeding ground for mold spores. As a result, the black mold may begin to infest areas in your home. You’ll notice mold infestation when rooms with black mold spores start to smell musty.
Fortunately, thyme oil offers you protection from mycotoxin exposure. Mix half a teaspoon of thyme oil extract with two cups of distilled water in a spray bottle. Use the spray on mold growths in your home to eliminate the spores and leave your home smelling fresh.
The fungicidal properties of thyme oil kill the mycotoxins before they have a chance to spread and reach your airways.
