About Cat Thyme
Cat Thyme (Teucrium marum) is a herb used in the Mediterranean tradition to help with Respiratory Issues, Digestive Issues, Headache, and Parasites. The leaves are the part traditionally used, taken internally.
Botanical background
Teucrium marum, the cat thyme, is a close relative of germander; despite what its name suggests, it is not a thyme. Its small, oval leaves give it a thyme-like appearance, but the musty scent is quite unlike the delicate aroma of thyme, cat thyme is a mounding, tender perennial with grey-green leaves tipped by fragrant pink flowers in summer.
