Thymus mastichina
Aromatic shrublet of the Iberian Peninsula with white flowers and cineole-rich essential oil unlike most thymes.
Thymus mastichina is an aromatic shrublet native to the Iberian Peninsula, distinguished by its white flowers and essential oil rich in 1,8-cineole, unlike most thyme species. It is traditionally used for respiratory conditions, headaches, and digestive complaints, with modern applications as an expectorant, antimicrobial, and digestive support. Key active compounds include 1,8-cineole, sabinene, linalool, camphor, and flavonoids.
1,8-cineole acts as a mucolytic and expectorant by stimulating bronchial secretions and enhancing ciliary motility, likely through activation of TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels. The essential oil exhibits antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting biofilm formation, with linalool and camphor contributing to this effect. Flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, while carminative and spasmolytic properties support digestive function via modulation of smooth muscle calcium channels.
