Wild Thyme Greek Raw Honey Μελι Θυμαριου

Greek thyme honey is widely known as to be the best in the world. It requires great skill and dedication by the beekeepers as making thyme honey is very hard work for the bees.

Our raw, unprocessed, unheated Greek honey comes from one of the most valuable Greek herbs, thyme. Thyme honey is unique not just because of its aroma and taste but high nutritional value, stimulant and antiseptic properties.

It has excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties, and it is still used, in Greece, as a poultice for wounds, to prevent infection. Also used to cover burns and scalds and for treatment of sore throats due to colds or flu.

Thyme Honey is becoming increasingly popular as a supplement to everyday health, thanks to its natural properties which it takes from the entire plant its made from.

Thyme Honey and Its Benefits

A Powerful Antioxidant

In our daily lives, things like air pollution, pesticides and even sunlight contribute to the creation of free radicals, but a regular dose of thyme honey can help to minimise the damage they cause.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

The soothing, anti-inflammatory Thyme Honey has a distinct, spicy and mildly bitter taste and it is effective at fighting inflammation all over the body, thanks to the high concentration of thymol. If you have a sore throat, there’s nothing quite as gentle and soothing as a cup of Thyme Honey tea.

Cough Suppressant

If you have a nagging cough, Thyme Honey is a great way to get it under control, as it is able to combat the symptoms of the buildup of mucus and respiratory distress and leave you feeling calmed and relieved. At this time of the year coughs and colds are everywhere, so having a supply of Thyme Honey on standby for you or your family is a great idea.

Healing Properties

Whilst Thyme Honey is delicious as something you can spread on toast and enjoy as part of a tasty breakfast. It's also something that is incredibly useful when applied topically to cuts, burns and wounds. The reason for this is that it has powerful antibacterial properties that help to reduce swelling and inflammation on areas of the skin that have become damaged.

Anti-Allergenic

Thyme Honey will help you as well with seasonal allergies, thanks to the fact that it contains a variety of anti-allergenic compounds such as Quercetin. Quercetin is known to stabilise cell membranes of basophils and mast cells - those that release the histamines that cause a reaction - which helps to reduce the frequency and severity of allergic reactions.
