Lowers Blood Pressure

The extract derived from thyme is known to significantly reduce the heart rate and hence can be utilised to bring the levels of blood pressure under control. It possesses high amounts of dietary fibres which lower the levels of cholesterol. This can extend your life by preventing atherosclerosis and avoiding strokes, heart attacks, and coronary heart diseases.

 

Treats Respiratory Issues

One of the most well-known and long-standing uses of thyme in traditional medicine is as a respiratory agent. If you are suffering from bronchitis, chronic asthma, congestion, colds, flu, blocked sinuses or seasonal allergies, thyme acts as an expectorant and an anti-inflammatory substance. It eliminates phlegm and mucus from the respiratory tracts, eases inflammation to help breathe, and prevents microbial development that can lead to illness.

 

Antioxidant Capacity

With one of the highest antioxidant concentrations in any herb, thyme has been praised for thousands of years as an overall health booster. The phenolic antioxidants found in thyme, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and thymonin contribute to neutralizing and eliminating free radicals throughout the body.

Free radicals are the dangerous by-products of cellular metabolism that can do major damage to your healthy cells by causing apoptosis or spontaneous mutation. These antioxidants help prevent oxidative stress present in your organs, as well as your neural pathways, heart, eyes, and skin.

 

Increases your Immunity

Getting a food which satisfies all the nutrient requirement of the body is a tough thing to do. To your advantage, this herb is filled in with Vitamin C and is a good source of Vitamin A as well. It is a good source of fibre as well as iron and manganese. All these make your immune system stronger and prevent you against a number of diseases.

Also, the most active ingredient found in thyme is thymol. This organic compound has a wide range of effects on the body, including its ability to prevent fungal and viral infections, thereby reducing strain on the immune system.

 

Improves Circulation

The high concentration of iron and other essential minerals in thyme make it ideal for stimulating the production of red blood cells, thereby boosting blood circulation and oxygenation to the essential organ systems of the body.

 

Eye Care

The concentration of carotenoids and vitamin A found in thyme make it an effective antioxidant agent for your vision health. Carotenoids can neutralize the free radicals in your ocular system and slow the onset of macular degeneration and prevent cataracts.

 

Prevents Food Poisoning

Thyme has the ability not only to prevent food contamination, but to decontaminate previously contaminated foods as well.

 

May Fight Cancer

The properties in this herb have been shown to fight against tumors and cancer. More specifically, carvacrol is a major component of the herb that displays antitumor properties, making this beneficial plant a cancer-fighting food.

One recent study out of China and published in Anti-Cancer Drugs found that carvacrol inhibited the proliferation and migration of the two colon cancer cell lines. Overall, research shows that carvacrol has therapeutic potential for both the prevention and treatment of colon cancer.

 

Mood Booster

Wild Thyme tincture is known for its aromatic properties and is used for therapeutic purposes. It contains high amounts of carvacol which affects the nervous system and induces a happy feeling in people. One of the vitamins in thyme (B6) has a powerful effect on certain neurotransmitters in the brain that are directly linked to stress hormones. Regular inclusion of thyme in your diet can help to boost your mood and ease your mind when stressful thoughts come calling.

 

Skin Protection

Wild Thyme is being extensively used all around the world for its anti-fungal properties. In a research it was found that wild thyme tends to provide better result in fighting against acne if compared to other products available in the market. It makes your skin looking younger while at the same time keeps it healthy.

 

Pleasant Smell

Thyme has been known to possess a good smell and due to its anti-septic properties, it is a common ingredient in numerous toothpastes as well as mouth freshener.

Thyme is an evergreen shrub that has been used in medicinal and culinary applications for thousands of years. The most common form has the scientific name Thymus vulgaris, garden thyme and Thymus Serpyllum is the wild thyme. They have very similar medicinal properties. This herb is native to the Mediterranean region and certain parts of Africa, and its use dates back to the Egyptian empire.

Thyme has been known since ancient times for its magical, culinary, and medicinal virtues. Tradition held that an infusion of thyme taken as a tea on midsummer’s eve would enable one to see the fairies dancing. Young women wore a corsage of blossoming thyme to signal their availability for romance.

Long ago, the Egyptians cleverly used thyme for embalming. It made a perfect embalming agent since its high thymol content kills off bacteria and fungus.

Back in ancient times, it was associated with courage, bravery and strength. The generic name may have been inspired by one of thyme’s traditional attributes. Greek folk herbalists believed that thyme would impart courage (thumus in Greek) to those who used the herb, particularly soldiers. Roman soldiers exchanged sprigs of the herb as a sign of respect. Both Greeks and Romans burned bundles of thyme to purify their homes and temples. They also commonly used it medicinally in their bathwater. They are also supposedly offered it as a cure people for who were melancholic or shy.

In the European Middle Ages, the herb was nestled under pillows to encourage restful sleep. It was also placed on coffins during funerals because it was believed that this would assure passage into the next life.

Wild thyme is one of the common herbs which you can easily find in drier parts of Europe as well as Asia. This is one of the perennial herbs which belong to the mint family. This plant is known to grown up to a height of one foot and contains slightly larger leaf of about 12 inches.

You might not even realize that you have used this herb medicinally in your life before — thymol, thyme’s most active ingredient, is used in Listerine mouthwash and Vicks VapoRub because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. The fact that these classic, although not very natural, products choose to use thymol as a key ingredient speaks to the undeniable medicinal benefits of this versatile herb.

Common Names: English thyme, garden thyme, common thyme.

Preparation & Dosage

Preparation & Dosage

Preparation: Put a teaspoon of thyme into a 200ml cup of boiled water.Cover it and let it steep for 10 minutes.Strain and drink a cup three times per day.

Precaution: Thyme is considered safe when consumed in normal food amounts or in larger amounts, medicinally, for 2-4 weeks. It can possibly cause digestive issues when taken in excess amounts.

  • For pregnant or nursing women, it’s best to consume this herb in normal food amounts, not medicinal quantities.
  • It’s not a common food allergen, but if you’re allergic to oregano or other Lamiaceae species then you might also be allergic to thyme.
  • For women who have hormone-sensitive conditions like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, uterine fibroids or endometriosis, it might act like estrogen in the body. Avoid it if you have any condition that might be made worse by exposure to estrogen.
  • When used in large amounts, this spice might possibly slow blood clotting, so be especially careful if you have any clotting disorders and/or are currently taking blood thinners. For the same reason, it’s best not to take it two weeks before surgery.
