Common thyme

Thyme is a perennial plant that grows to a height of about 30 cm. Its stems are woody and square at the base. The leaves are short-stalked, elliptical, and opposite. The flowers are purple, lipped, and arranged in whorled clusters. The fruit is a nutlet. It blooms in late spring and early summer.

Thyme is the noble brother of our motherwort. It grows in sunny places and does not require soil that is particularly rich in nutrients.

Thyme is an excellent disinfectant, especially for the respiratory tract, but also for the digestive system. It also has antispasmodic effects and is effective against intestinal parasites and certain fungi. It also improves digestion and is very effective when applied externally - as a gargle or compress.

The preferred form of medication is an infusion prepared and administered according to standard rules. Thyme is not suitable for long-term use and exceeding the recommended dosage is not recommended. Children may only be given thyme for a short period of time and in small doses. For personal use, in small quantities, we process fresh herbs, picked just before flowering.
The tincture can be used instead of thyme, which is relatively rare. We most often use it for nervous disorders, especially sexual ones, for upper respiratory tract diseases, as an antiseptic, for various rinses, washing, gargling, etc.

The package contains 240 seeds.
