Japanese: タイム

The Japanese name for thyme is tachiyakousou. As its name suggests, it has a very strong and pleasant fragrance, and has long been counted as one of the most important herbs in Europe. It is also considered a symbol of courage and strength , and it is said that saying "you smell like thyme" was the highest compliment.
The main effects of thyme are antibacterial, astringent , antispasmodic, diuretic, blood circulation promotion, digestive activity promotion, etc. Specific symptoms include cough, phlegm, asthma, weak stomach, stomach cramps, etc.
External use: The decoction or essential oil can be used as a bath additive or compress to treat bruises, gout , rheumatism , and colds. Gargling with herbal tea can also help with toothache. However, because essential oils stimulate the uterus, pregnant women should limit their use.
(Indispensable for removing the odor of seafood and adding flavor to stewed dishes)
Thyme has a distinctive refreshing fragrance and a slightly bitter taste. This fragrance is very effective in removing the fishy smell of seafood. In addition, since the fragrance does not disappear even when heated for a long time, it is indispensable for stews and other simmered dishes. It is also used in a wide range of dishes, including various meat dishes, soups, pickles, and salad dressings.
Although thyme has many uses, it has a strong scent, so using too much can ruin the flavor of the dish.
You need to be especially careful about the amount you use when cooking vegetables or eggs.

Japanese:
タイムは、和名をタチジャコウソウといいます。その名のとおり、たいへん強く心地よい香りをもち、ヨーロッパでは古くから、もっとも重要なハーブの1つに数えられてきました。また、勇気や力のシンボルとされ、「あなたはタイムの香りがする」といえば、それは最高の誉(ほ)め言葉だったといいます。
 タイムのもつおもな作用は、抗菌、収斂(しゅうれん)、抗けいれん、利尿、血行促進、消化器官の活動促進など。具体的症状としては、せき、たん、ぜんそく、胃弱、胃けいれんなどの改善に効果を発揮します。
○外用としての使い方
 また、煎(せん)じだした液や精油を外用薬として入浴剤や湿布に用いれば、打撲(だぼく)や痛風(つうふう)、リウマチ、かぜに有効。ハーブティーでうがいをすれば歯痛にも効果があります。ただし、精油には子宮を刺激する作用があるので、妊娠中の人は使用量をひかえるようにしてください。
〈魚介類の臭み消しや煮込み料理の風味付けには不可欠〉
 タイムの持ち味は、特有のすがすがしい芳香とほろにがさにあります。この香りは、魚介類の生臭みを消すのに、たいへん効果的です。また、長時間加熱しても香りが飛ばないことから、シチューなどの煮込み料理にも欠かせません。さらに各種の肉料理、スープ、ピクルス、サラダドレッシングなど、極めて幅広い料理に用いられています。
 このように使い道の広いタイムですが、香りが強いので、その分使いすぎると料理の風味をくずしてしまいます。
 とくに野菜やたまごの料理は、使用量に注意が必要です。
