Thyme
Thymus vulgaris · LamiaceaeIn one paragraph
Common thyme is a low Mediterranean shrub whose oil is dominated by thymol, one of the most strongly aromatic and antiseptic-smelling compounds in the herbal apothecary. It is potent enough that proportion is the whole question with thyme.
How Nurtur Health uses it
Thyme appears in a single Nurtur product, in small proportion, contributing a sharp herbal note.
