In the Middle Ages, thyme was given to knights and warriors before battle because it was believed that its properties would give courage. The ancient Greeks used it in baths and burned it as incense in temples, and the Egyptians used it in traditional ceremonies. Today, thyme is a popular herbal spice, often used in cooking around the world. Add thyme essential oil to meat marinades and savory appetizers to give dishes a fresh, herbal flavor.
