Thymus serpyllum commonly known as Jawand in Kashmir is used as a
culinary herb, as well as for aromatizing and traditional medicinal
purposes. The word thyme is a general name for more than three
hundred Thymus species, hybrids, varieties and ecotypes, all of
which are small perennial herbs native to Europe and Asia. There
are many traditions related to the tonic character of these plants.
The Egyptians used it in embalmment. The Roman soldiers used to
take a bath in water with thyme to provide vigour. Thyme oil was
used as an antiseptic during World War I. Still today, thyme is
used in the embalmment liquids, protects paper from mould, and is
used to preserve anatomy and botany specimens. The present study
confirmed that the plant Thymus serpyllum possesses significant in
vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and in vivo anti
inflammatory activity.
