Thyme Tincture (1 : 4) Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) tincture made from dried herb What is thyme? Thyme is best known as an aromatic culinary herb that gives Mediterranean dishes a pleasant note. The herb also has a long tradition in cooking and herbal knowledge. As a liquid extract, the tincture is suitable for supplementing the daily diet. Originally native to the Mediterranean region, common thyme can now be found wherever it gets sufficient warmth in summer. The plant prefers hot summers as well as dry, calcareous soils. This perennial subshrub from the mint family has a characteristic aroma and is also visually distinctive with its pink flowers. For our tincture, we use dried thyme herb. It is carefully processed; alcohol is used to create a 1:4 extract with the characteristic plant profile of thyme. The 1:4 indication describes the drug-extract ratio of the extract.
