10 Benefits of Thyme
Thyme Benefit #1: Helps Treat Respiratory Disorders
The antibiotic properties of thyme make it an excellent respiratory remedy for conditions such as congestion, cough, and bronchitis. It is prepared by steeping the leaves in hot water, as any other tea, and adding a little bit of honey to help with symptoms. Regular consumption has shown to be able to help clear respiratory conditions such as the common cold.
One study examined the effects of thyme oil on tonsillitis and whooping cough. Significant antibacterial activity against certain organisms were examined in this study. Thyme showed to have major pharmacological properties on coughs in adults examined in the study.
