Our thyme is the white thyme — or the re—distillate or rectified thyme from the crude red thyme oil which is the first product of distillation. Crude red thyme is also used widely but with caution in tribal Mediterranean medicine.

Thyme is an ancient herbal medicine used by the Greeks, the Egyptians and the Romans. The name comes from the Greek word 'THYMOS', meaning scent or perfume. Thyme oil has a rather sweet yet strongly herbal smell and is reddish—brown to amber in color for the red thyme and pale yellow for the white Thyme. It is medium to watery in viscosity.
