An aromatic plant with evergreen foliage, Thyme is a type of plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It comes in several varieties. Among the most well-known are common Thyme and wild Thyme.
Thyme is a small plant that thrives in well-drained soils and areas well exposed to the sun. It logically flourishes in the limestone soils of the Mediterranean rim.
The origin of its name is uncertain. For some, the word “thyme” may have Egyptian roots and come from the word “tham”, a plant used to embalm the dead. What could be the Greek roots of the word “thymos” or “thyein”, meanwhile, evoke the words smoke and spirit.
Regardless, it is known that it was used in antiquity by the Greeks and Romans as incense to burn or as a perfume. From the Middle Ages, its use spread as a spice and culinary aid. Highly appreciated for its fragrance, it is also known for its virtues in aromatherapy. Thymol Thyme is a category that stands out from other thymes due to its content of thymol, a phenol known for its powerful antibacterial and toning virtues.
