Ecclesiastes 3:1
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:2
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.
Used through the centuries as a remedy for many ailments, from epilepsy to melancholy., it is prescribed by herbalists for intestinal worms, gastrointestinal ailments, bronchial problems, laryngitis, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. It has antiseptic properties, and can be used as a mouthwash, skin cleanser, anti-fungal agent for athlete's foot and as an anti-parasitic for lice, scabies, and crabs. For skin inflammations and sores, make a poultice by mashing the leaves into a paste. To use Thyme as an anti-fungal agent or as a parasitic, mix four ounces of Thyme to a pint of alcohol, or buy the essential oil and use sparingly on the affected area. For bronchitis and gastric problems, make a tea to be used once per day. Add honey as a sweetener, if desired.
Thyme is an ancient cooking herb that is versatile and one of the most widely used from many countries. It pairs well with lamb, poultry, tomatoes lemon, and other seasonings. It is used chopped or whole and imparts a woodsy, warm flavor to any dish. Though widely available in fresh and dried forms, thyme is easy enough to grow at home. I like to keep some on hand for use in soups and stews, or add to roasted vegetables and it will enhance your favorite grilled foods.
It is a very aromatic herb commonly used for both cooking and in natural medicines. It has a wide range of uses and abilities. I like to use it in cooking the best.
It also grows back year after year. Here is what mine looks like so far this year. It is already producing flowers.

The essential oil of Thyme (Thymol) can cause adverse reactions if taken in it's pure form, so use Thyme-based medications sparingly. If taken in a tea, drink only once or twice per day, and if used on the skin, be aware that it may cause irritation.
