Thyme Honey

About Thyme

Indulge in the exquisite essence of New Zealand Thyme Honey, a rare and potent nectar sourced from the untouched landscapes of Central Otago. First introduced by gold miners in the 1800s, wild thyme flourishes across the region, painting the hills in a vibrant purple bloom each spring.

Hand-harvested and gently processed at low temperatures, our raw, unpasteurised Thyme Honey retains its full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for unmatched purity and potency.

The Benefits

Thyme honey is widely valued for its health and wellness benefits. It is commonly used in dietary supplements and functional foods for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and immune-boosting properties. In traditional medicine, it plays a key role in cough syrups, throat lozenges, and immune boosters, offering natural relief for respiratory ailments. Its skincare benefits make it a popular ingredient in moisturizers, face masks, and lip balms, where it provides hydration and antibacterial protection.

Additionally, its wound-healing properties contribute to medicated creams and soothing balms, while in hair care, it nourishes the scalp in shampoos and conditioners. Beyond cosmetics, thyme honey is also recognized for its pharmaceutical and therapeutic uses, particularly in sore throat relief, digestive health, and probiotic formulations, making it a versatile and highly beneficial natural product.
