Introduction: Today ionizing radiation (IR) plays an important role in medicine, both in diagnostic and therapeutic field. Doctors, medical staff and patients are all in danger of side effects of IR so there is a need to protect them against deleterious effects of ionizing radiation.  Thymus vulgaris has biological activities like antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Aim of...
