Thyme plant:-



Thyme is an herb from the mint family that you probably recognize from your spice set. But it’s so much more than an after-thought ingredient.

Its range of use is impressive, and it has over 300 subspecies. Ancient Egyptians used it in their embalming practices, while ancient Greeks used it as incense.

Getting all the vitamins your body needs every day can be challenging. Luckily, thyme is packed with vitamin C and is also a good source of vitamin A. If you feel a cold coming on, thyme can help get you back in good health.



Thyme is touted as a natural treatment for an almost encyclopedic array of unrelated health conditions, including:


  1. Acne
  2. Anxiety
  3. Arthritis 
  4. Bad breath
  5. Bronchitis 
  6. Colds

Thyme has long been used as a home remedy for cough, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. It is sometimes taken orally to treat a chest infection or inhaled to open airways. There is some clinical evidence of these effects.
