Siamese thyme is a plant with a characteristic lemony aroma and a fresh, invigorating taste. In Asian cuisine, especially Thai and Vietnamese, it is highly valued for its flavor and aroma. It is often used to season soups, curries, marinades and drinks, as well as to give dishes a citrusy aftertaste. This spice goes well with meat, fish, seafood and vegetables, bringing a light lemony note and aromatic depth to dishes.
The health properties of Siamese thyme are equally impressive. It is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can support a healthy digestive and immune system. It is also used to treat stomach ailments such as bloating and abdominal pain, and as a detoxifier. In aromatherapy, it helps to relieve stress and improve well-being. Its antioxidant properties support skin health and can prevent premature aging.
