Its dried leaves, combined with parsley, chervil and tarragon comprise ‘fines herbes’ used to season many French dishes. Thyme also is an essential herb in the mixture ‘bouquet garni.’ Thyme is a popular flavor addition to meats, vegetables, vinegars, soups, stews, tomato sauces and cheeses. English Thyme’s essential oil has many aromatherapy uses, both topical and ingested for medicinal purposes, and as a popular fragrance for body care products and room fresheners.
