Native to North Africa, this plant grows on stony, rather arid soil. Thyme is the prime example of a plant species that illustrates the concept of chemotype. There are several chemical races of thyme, and the chemical composition of the essential oil varies according to the biotope in which it grows. The factors influencing the composition, and thus the therapeutic activity, are amount of sunlight, altitude, soil type, air purity, etc.
