Did You Know? That dreaded brain freeze has a scientific name, sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia! 😲

It happens when something cold hits the roof of your mouth, triggering nerves in the brain’s protective covering (the meninges). This rapid change causes arteries to contract and dilate quickly, resulting in that sudden, sharp headache we all know too well! 🥶

Next time you're enjoying an ice cream or cold drink a little too fast… consider it a crash course in neurology! 😂

Did you know it was World Avocado Day on Thursday 31st July? 🥑

We all know avocados are a delicious source of healthy fats—but did you know avocado oil is also a powerhouse in holistic wellness?

🔥 And yes—it’s also amazing in the kitchen! Its high smoke point and heart-healthy fats make it ideal for everything from roasting to salad dressings.

Here at Essential Thyme, we’re all about finding natural ways to care for body and mind—and avocado oil is a brilliant all-rounder. Whether you’re blending oils for your next self-care ritual or exploring the world of aromatherapy, don’t underestimate this humble green hero!

Massage therapy offers so much more than relaxation—it can be a valuable part of your overall wellbeing. But for it to be safe and effective, your therapist needs to know your full health story.

At Essential Thyme, we take your safety seriously. Our latest blog shares the powerful story of a former client whose change in medical condition was a reminder of how important it is to keep your therapist informed.

This is a must-read for anyone booking regular massage sessions. 💆‍♀️

Thumbs up… or thumbs overworked?

If you're always scrolling, texting, or typing, your thenar muscle (the group at the base of your thumb) is taking the strain. This repetitive use can lead to “texter’s thumb,” a condition that causes hand pain, tightness and reduced mobility.

💡That’s where Thai Hand and Foot Massage can really help.

This calming yet effective therapy focuses on pressure points and stretches to:
✨ Ease strain in overused muscles (like the thenar group)
✨ Improve circulation and joint mobility
✨ Encourage full-body relaxation and balance

Whether you’re looking to learn this skill or book in for a massage, we’ve got you covered at Essential Thyme.
