Good for eye health- The plant is also rich in vitamin A and compounds called flavonoids, which help slow macular degeneration (the area of the retina of the eyes, responsible for seeing details).

Protects the bones- It is rich in calcium and magnesium, minerals that act as bone protectors and prevent osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Fight depression- Studies show that a substance called carvacrol, found in thyme, increases levels of dopamine and serotonin – neurotransmitters that improve mood and prevent depression.
