Origins and historical notes:
Thyme is the plant botanically known as Thymus vulgaris, also known as erbuccia or sermollo, and is a spice that together with savory, rosemary and sage helps to perfume the Mediterranean scrub. Always appreciated in cooking both for its taste and for its digestive and antiseptic properties, which are beneficial for preserving meat. When refrigerators did not exist, thyme was used for preserving food, given the notable presence of essential oil with anti-putrid action.
The Egyptians relied on the virtues of this aromatic herb to embalm the deceased. For the Greeks, there was no more celestial perfume, and they greatly appreciated a honey obtained from a species of thyme that was very common on the Athenian mountains, recognizing its extraordinary virtues for chest diseases. Galen, a Greek physician and philosopher, recommended it in powder form to those who suffered from joint pain, and considered it the most powerful antiseptic known. The Etruscans and Romans began to introduce thyme into the kitchen and to perfume wines and cheeses with it.
Ladies used to give it to the knight of their heart so that he would be protected by it in battle. In the first weeks of the year, young girls would place a few sprigs under their pillows as a good omen for a probable marriage. Medicine has also recognized this herb as having antiseptic properties, so much so that some have defined it as "the antibiotic of the poor". For external use it cleanses and disinfects the skin, in the form of rinses it is beneficial against respiratory tract diseases.
