"He who has thyme has everything." — Traditional European proverb

Long before thyme became a kitchen staple, it was one of the most treasured herbs of the ancient world. The ancient Greeks burned it in temples as an offering. Medieval European monasteries grew it in their gardens and brewed it as a warming cup through the cold months, and the 12th-century abbess Hildegard von Bingen wrote about it.

The aromatic compounds that give thyme its distinctive scent, thymol and carvacrol, are among the most studied natural compounds in herbal science, and European research has explored thyme's relationship to normal respiratory comfort.*
