Thyme has been used since ancient times by the Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans for its antiseptic and preservative properties. The Greeks used thyme in baths and burned it as incense in temples, believing it to be a source of courage and invigoration. The Egyptians used thyme in embalming practices, while the Romans employed it to purify rooms and as a remedy for poisoning. In the Middle Ages, it was placed under pillows to ward off nightmares and was commonly used to treat coughs and respiratory issues.

Current Uses:

• Respiratory health: Thyme is widely used today to help ease coughs, congestion, and bronchitis due to its expectorant and antimicrobial properties.
• Antimicrobial: The thymol content in thyme makes it a powerful antibacterial and antifungal herb, often used to treat infections both internally and externally.
• Immune support: Thyme is frequently included in immune-boosting teas and tinctures to help the body fight off colds, flus, and viral infections.
• Digestive aid: Thyme’s carminative properties make it helpful for soothing gas, bloating, and indigestion, while stimulating the digestive process.
• Topical use: Thyme oil is used in skincare for its antibacterial and antifungal effects, making it effective for treating acne, wounds, and fungal infections like athlete’s foot.
