Botanical Name: Thymus vulgaris
Use: The resilient and aromatic thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a key medicinal plant for anyone needing to transform a lung condition that has become stuck for an extended period. It has antiviral as well as remarkably potent antiseptic and antispasmodic properties, helping to both protect and relax bronchial passages that have become hypersensitive, constricted and susceptible to infections. It is officially used in European countries for dry, wet and whooping coughs, spastic bronchitis, catarrh, asthma and to support weak lungs in emphysema.Thyme is also prescribed with other herbs for asthma, especially in children.
