The Plant
Plant part: Flowering Summit
Origin: France
An aromatic evergreen, Thyme is a genus of plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It comes in several varieties. Among the best-known are Common Thyme and Wild Thyme.
Thyme is a small plant that thrives in well-drained, sunny soil. It thrives in the limestone soils of the Mediterranean region.
The origin of its name is uncertain. For some, the word “thyme” has Egyptian roots and comes from the word “tham”, a plant used to embalm the dead. What could be the Greek roots of the word “thymos” or “thyein”, on the other hand, evoke the words smoke and spirit.
Whatever the case, we know that it was used in antiquity by the Greeks and Romans as incense for burning or as a perfume. From the Middle Ages onwards, its use spread as an aromatic and culinary aid. Much appreciated for its fragrance, it is also known for its aromatherapy properties. Thyme à thymol is distinguished from other thymes by its thymol content, a phenol known for its powerful antibacterial and tonic properties.
