Organic Thyme from Clef Des Champs can be 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. Thyme’s action on the bronchial cilia helps expectorate mucus. It is antiseptic and rich in antibacterial volatile oils. Drinking a hot infusion disperses the essential oils in the lungs, where they have a direct action on the respiratory tract. Thyme has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the bronchi, making it very effective to treat coughs. Thyme can be used as a gargle to relieve sore throat, tonsillitis and mouth sores and also helps to reduce bad breath.
