Health drink: unforgettable taste, charming aroma, and colossal benefits!
Thyme is also called a garden herb and has the scientific name Lamiaceae.
Lamiaceae is a low shrub with bright mauve flowers in the thyme genus, which has more than 200 species. Its official name is “thyme creeping.”
Lamiaceae has bactericidal, wound healing, analgesic, expectorant, broncho-dilating, anthelmintic, and many other properties. It also normalizes metabolism, which is important for people who monitor their weight.
Thyme tea is often called “slimming tea” because it can suppress appetite, contains valuable nutrients, and helps prevent overeating between meals.

It also effectively relieves pain with rheumatism and arthritis. This plant is widely used for various lung diseases: asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, and tracheitis.
