Thyme has been used for centuries in cooking, medicine, and aromatherapy. Ancient Egyptians used it in their embalming practices, Greeks used it as incense and for their baths, and Romans used it as a cleanser and food flavor. Centuries later we continue to find similar uses for this herbaceous plant.
