Thymus (thyme, including creeping forms such as wild thyme) is a small, prostrate shrub that not only looks attractive in the garden but also has wide culinary and medicinal uses.
Thanks to its aroma, thyme is one of the most popular herbs used as a seasoning for many dishes. In traditional medicine, it has been used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. It is also highly valued in beekeeping, as a melliferous plant that increases the medicinal value of honey.
