{{Citation encadré
|texte=Widely cultivated as a spice and medicinal plant in the Mediterranean area and Europe. Also grown in North America and several other temperate and tropical areas. Ornamental plant. The flowering herb has been used to flavour meat dishes, vegetables, liqueurs and cheese. The thymol containing essential oil is utilized for its fungicidal, bactericidal, and antioxidant properties to preserve food (meat, fats). Leaves, flowers and oil are employed medicinally (expectorans, antispasmodic, stomachic, antiseptic), as tea, cough syrup, drops or gorgles. Thyme oil also used in chewing gum, ice-cream, and cosmetics. The small shrub is also cultivated as an annual in northern Europe. Additionally cold-resistant and compact varieties have been selected. The hybrid ''Thymus vulgaris'' L. × ''T. serpyllum'' L. has been found in Finland to be suitable for replacing ''T. vulgaris'' as a spice plant in regions with severe winter temperatures.

Le thym du grand commerce est le plus souvent récolté en Espagne. Il ne s'agit pas de ''Thymus vulgaris'', mais de ''[[Thymus zygis]]''.
