Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) is an aromatic herb and a member of the mint family. The origin of the word Thyme is said to come from a Greek word that meant to fumigate, because the plant was used by the Greeks as incense.
The beneficial properties of Thyme come from its main components, thymol and carvacrol. Fresh Thyme has the highest level of antioxidants among all herbs. Its reputation for healing goes all the way back to 78 A.D. when a botanist and physician to the Roman armies included it when he published Europes first herbal book of healing medicines. The Romans believed that eating Thyme before or during a meal would protect a person from poison, which made it the choice of Emperors who were afraid of being poisoned.
