"Thymol found in Thyme
is a powerful antiseptic for both internal and external

gauze and wool for surgical dressings. It resembles
carbolic acid in its action, but is less irritant
to wounds, while its germicidal action is greater.
It is therefore preferable as a dressing and during
recent years has been one of the most extensively
used antiseptics."
