Medicinal plants are essential in a garden and have many advantages for both us and our vegetables. In addition, they are very easy to grow and very resistant to both diseases and pests.

Thyme is without a doubt my favourite medicinal plant and I could say that I use it almost every day as a condiment. It is without a doubt the most used culinary condiment in the Mediterranean and it is a plant that is everywhere.
As a medicinal plant it is a powerful anti-catarrhal. It also has antiseptic and antibiotic properties. So you can say that it is a very complete plant. It is used as a condiment because it is also a powerful digestive.
In the Mediterranean it does not make sense to plant it, you simply pick it when you go for a walk in the countryside. Never uproot it and always cut it with flowers if possible.
It is a very rustic plant that loves full sun and does not like humidity. In the garden it is mainly a honey plant but it also helps to attract beneficial insects such as ladybugs.
