THYME

Thyme is a small, aromatic herb from the mint family, commonly used in cooking, herbal medicine, and aromatherapy.

It has great antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties and aids digestion and boosts the immune system.

Thyme belongs to the Lamiaceae (mint) family, related to oregano, basil, and rosemary and thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and dry conditions.
