THYME TINCTURE - COUGH & BRONCHITIS
Mode Of Action
Thyme is used for all respiratory tract conditions where there is productive or spasmodic cough. As an expectorant and anticatarrhal, it frees the bronchi and calms inflammation. It is antiseptic and rich in antibacterial volatile oils. Thyme’s action on the bronchial cilia helps expectorate mucus. It also relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi, making it very effective to treat coughs. It calms coughing fits and relieves sore throat. Thyme reduces inflammation of the mucus membrane of ear, nose and throat and is antibacterial and antiviral. It is diaphoretic, relieves fever and is used in the treatment of colds, flu, laryngitis and pharyngitis.
Thyme stimulates the digestive processes and aids difficult digestion. It is antispasmodic, relaxes smooth muscles and calms abdominal pain. As a carminative, it relieves bloating and gas caused by dyspepsia. It is antiparasitic and can eliminate unwanted bacteria that has settled in the intestine, thereby rebalancing the intestinal flora. Studies have shown that thyme has a specific action on some bacteria (H. pylori) ) and yeasts (Candida albicans). It is also an antioxidant.
Thymus vulgaris is an emmenagogue and has been used traditionally to reduce the pain of menstrual cramps by relaxing the muscles of the uterus. Its antiseptic and diuretic properties are very useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections.
The main constituents of thyme are volatile oils (thymol, carvacrol, linalool), tannins, flavonoids (eriodictyol, luteolin, naringenin), acids (rosmarinic, caffeic), saponins, resins, polysaccharides (arabinogalactan) and bitter principles.

History
Originally from the Mediterranean basin, thyme was used by the Pharaohs and the Sumerians to embalm the dead. In Antiquity, the Romans used it to flavour cheeses and alcoholic beverages and Roman legionnaires felt increased vigor when they added it to their bathwater. The Greeks used it as incense to purify the air and to keep animals away. In his 17th Century writings, the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper mentioned that thyme was used to treat whooping cough, shortness of breath, gout and stomach aches. Today, thyme is included in many products such as soaps and mouthwashes.
