COX-2 inhibition is the same principal that enables pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, to lessen swelling. <\/p>\n<p>While all oils showed a considerable inflammatory response, thyme oil was the most effective, reducing levels of COX-2 by as much as 75 percent. <\/p>\n<p>After additional research, lead study author Hiroyasu Inoue and his colleagues found that the primary active ingredient in thyme oil is carvacrol. <\/p>\n<p>When using pure carvacrol extract in their tests, researchers discovered that COX-2 levels decreased by over 80 percent. <\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s findings offer insight into the health benefits of botanical oils and may provide a roadmap for future anti-inflammatory drugs. <br \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-1961-ID-19559091-ADNFCR\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?w=780\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at Nara Women&#8217;s University in Japan have discovered that thyme oil may contain inflammatory suppression compounds similar to those found in red wine.
