Thyme - It's the herb... yup.. that
green thing!, I also bought Chinese chives; Cilantro from Low's and
Homedepot. This pot of Thyme cost $1.50 sth.
'Thyme occurs in
the west Mediterranean to the southwest Italy. The herb was known to the
Sumerians, used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Thyme was praised by
the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) as "a notable strengthener of
the lungs". Its main medicinal application is in treating coughs and
clearing congestion. Many current formulas for mouth washes and vapor rubs
contain thymol, one of the constituents found in thyme. It also improves
digestion, destroys intestinal parasites and is an excellent antiseptic and
tonic.
MAIN PROPERTIES:
Antiseptic, tonic, relieves muscle spasm, expectorant.' - Article is found
