Characteristics of Thyme
Thyme (Thyme vulgaris) is a perennial, aromatic plant of the Lamiaceae family, known for its intense, spicy aroma. It grows mainly in sunny, dry areas of the Mediterranean and is widely used in cooking, herbal medicine and aromatherapy. The essential oil is obtained by distillation of the flowers and leaves, and its quality may vary depending on the chemotype (e.g. thymol, linalool, geraniol).
History of Thyme
Thyme held an important place in ancient societies. The ancient Greeks used it to fumigate temples and homes due to its laxative power. The Romans added it to their baths for revitalization and believed it enhanced courage. In the Middle Ages, it was used to boost the immune system and protect against infections.
Ingredients
Thyme essential oil from the flowers and stems of the plant, distilled using the hydrodistillation method.
Chemical composition
Thyme essential oil is rich in thymol – a powerful antiseptic, as well as carvacrol, p-cymene, terpinen-4-ol, linalool and borneol. The exact ratio of the components depends on the chemotype and the growing region. The oil is extremely active, with strong antibacterial, antifungal and immunostimulating properties.
