Thyme- one of the key herbs our Medical Herbalist Ginny Kemp uses in her cough/cold remedy mixes, for patients with chronic respiratory conditions, stubborn sinuses and even digestive issues (it is a carminative and spasmolytic so can be useful for IBS/dysbiosis). And it grows in abundance in the UK!

November: A respiratory herb
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Cold and flu season is tiring, but using thyme to strengthen the lungs is a fantastic way to treat yourself with a herb which is so easy to grow at home.
Thyme is a powerful anti-septic, anti-viral and anti-bacterial herb, useful for mucus and infections of the respiratory system. It can be gargled for sore throats or inhaled for coughs, breathing difficulties and sinus problems.
Note: When taking herbs, we recommend seeking the advice of a qualified medical herbalist.
