Wildcrafted Mediterranean Thyme Botanical Extract

Wildcrafted Mediterranean Thyme Botanical Extract (Thymus vulgaris)

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a perennial aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean basin, with a documented history of culinary and medicinal use spanning over 3,500 years across Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and European herbal traditions. It was used by ancient Egyptians in embalming preparations, by Greek physicians as a medicinal herb, and by Roman soldiers who bathed in thyme-infused water for vitality. It is one of the most important respiratory herbs in Western herbal medicine and is included in the German Commission E monographs for its traditional use in respiratory wellness.

Thyme belongs to the Lamiaceae family alongside Oregano, Sage, and Rosemary. It is classified as an expectorant, antispasmodic, and carminative herb in Western herbal medicine, with a particularly well-established traditional history of use for respiratory, immune, and digestive wellness. This extract is wildcrafted and prepared in 60% alcohol from Mediterranean Thyme aerial parts.
