Thyme & Its Super Benefits
Thyme is a tiny spice that is loved and used by many cultures. I have decided to write this article about thyme simple because it was used as a staple in my grandmothers kitchen. Being from a small and beautiful caribbean Island thyme is essential in most kitchen. It used in soup, teas, seasoning and most importantly as an alternative remedy. Have you use thyme before for cooking or any other reasons? if you have why have you used thyme.? In the past I have used thyme to cook and invited many of my friends who have asked why did you put this tree in the food? my answer would always be it adds flavor and roots to the food. While being pregnant with my first born i was in labor for 33 and an half hours; I was given the delicious thyme tea by my aunt to flush and speed up the dilation process. Boy did it work, I was in the delivery 15 minutes after drinking the thyme tea and was declared fully dilated. Not only was the dilation process speedy the pain was intense as well. To this day I give credit to thyme for bringing my first born forth alive and kicking; who is the most beautiful 24-year-old daughter any mother could ever asked for. Even though I am many moons from my beautiful Island thyme is now a stapler in my kitchen

This herb may be tiny but, with an antioxidant action that will top many herbs. The green leaves of thyme have a powerful, aromatic flavor and strong antioxidant action because of the volatile oils and plant compounds they contain. The most important of these is thymol oil. Experiment on this oil has found it can boost the effects of healthy Omega 3 fats on the body, for example, the Omega-3 DHA found in fish oils, which has been shown to be important for healthy brain function. The oils in thyme are strongly antibacterial and can protect against food poisoning bugs such as E.coli, bacillus, and staphylococcus. Finally they are rich in flavonoids, which protect us against the disease of aging, and they are a good source of vitamin C and iron.
