Precautions & Safety
While thyme is generally safe, it’s important to use it correctly:
Avoid excessive consumption of thyme essential oil internally, as it is highly concentrated.
Pregnant women should consult a doctor before using thyme in medicinal amounts.
Those with allergies to herbs in the mint family should use it cautiously.
My Personal Experience
I started drinking thyme tea every night last winter, and the change was remarkable. My seasonal colds were less severe, and I felt more energetic. Even my digestion improved. The most surprising part? When I added thyme honey to my morning routine, my persistent cough disappeared within days. It felt like I had rediscovered my grandmother’s natural pharmacy right in my own kitchen.
