Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
✔️ Respiratory health – Acts as an expectorant (helps clear mucus from the lungs), a bronchodilator (opens airways), and an antispasmodic (reduces coughing). Traditionally used for coughs, colds, and bronchial congestion.
✔️ Immune system support – Contains antimicrobial (fights harmful bacteria), antiviral, and immune-stimulating compounds, making it useful for warding off infections, colds, and seasonal illnesses.
✔️ Digestive health – Functions as a carminative (reduces gas and bloating), a digestive stimulant, and a gut-balancing antimicrobial, supporting a healthy microbiome and easing sluggish digestion.
✔️ Antibacterial & antifungal properties – Rich in thymol, a potent antimicrobial known to fight bacterial and fungal infections, making it useful for oral health, skin infections, and immune defense.
✔️ Circulatory & heart health – Works as a circulatory stimulant (supports blood flow), a vasodilator (widens blood vessels), and may help support healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular function.
✔️ Mood & cognitive clarity – Contains aromatic compounds that act as nervine stimulants (enhance mental alertness) and mood lifters, promoting clarity, focus, and stress resilience.
