Thyme is a herb from the Thymus vulgaris shrub, a member of the mint family. While primarily used as a seasoning for cooking, thyme is also used as a condiment and in pickling. Thyme can be found in cosmetics and fragrances, and also supposedly has medicinal value. The flavor of thyme is somewhat minty. The small, greenish-gray leaves are typically dried and can be chopped, ground or crumbled.
Thyme Extract is prepared as infusion to treat spasmodic cough, laryngitis, bronchitis and urinary infections. It is also used as a decongestant, as a cholagoge, to reduce flatulence and to fight parasites. External uses of thyme include preparations to wash skin wounds or infections. Experience indicates that thyme has stronger antiseptic effects than hydrogen peroxide or phenol. Thyme macerated in oil and applied as poultices has analgesic effects on rheumatism, sprains or stiff neck. Scrubbing with thyme macerated in alcohol has the same effects. Thymol is extensively used in the cosmetic industry to prepare mouth wash and tooth paste.
The ancient Greeks believed that thyme was the representative of sacrifice and courage. Moreover, according to some research, thymol can replace the use of antibiotic in animal feeding, and inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria.
