Thyme has been popular for centuries and is commonly used to treat ailments ranging from the common cold to high cholesterol.
One cup of thyme tea in every morning will lower the viral load in the body, making it an effective treatment for lupus, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, vertigo, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Thyme is rich in vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium, and calcium – all of which are essential for blood pressure regulation, proper red blood cell formation, and distribution of antioxidants in the body. It is also abundant in B-complex vitamins, folic acid, vitamin A, and C.
Furthermore, thyme is loaded with terpenoids such as rosmarinic and ursolic acids, making it effective in fighting cancer. Studies have shown that the regular intake of thyme raises the amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid) in the heart cell membranes, kidneys, and brain.
Lastly, the essential oils in thyme have strong expectorant and bronchial antispasmodic properties, thus making it excellent in the treatment and prevention of:
- gingivitis
- laryngitis
- asthma
- throat infections
- acute and chronic bronchitis
- sore throats
- a cough
- inflammation of the mouth
