Thyme belongs to the mint family, it is a short and branched shrub with thin and opposite leaves.

This plant has different types such as normal, Shirazi, barik and wild thyme, whose properties are similar.

Thyme is commonly used to flavor foods. It is also used in soaps, cosmetics, and toothpastes. In supplements, there isn't enough reliable information to know what an appropriate dose of thyme might be. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important.
The herb can be used to season meats, stocks, soups, and more. Not a lot of thyme (or time) is needed to elevate vegetables to the next level. A simple sprinkling while roasting or is enough to make the vegetables stand out on their own. It can even be used when baking by adding the herb into doughs and batters.
