Thyme is a powerful antiseptic and expectorant herb. In traditional medicine, it is primarily used for respiratory health to relieve coughs, bronchitis, and chest congestion. Its warming nature makes it excellent for clearing Kapha. It is also a potent antimicrobial and is used as a digestive aid, helping to relieve gas.

  • For a Decongestant Tea: Steep a teaspoon of dried thyme in hot water to create a tea that can help to soothe a cough and break up mucus.
