Thyme eliminates strep throat, the flu, fights respiratory infections and much more

It does not “eliminate” strep throat or the flu.

Strep throat is caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, which often requires antibiotics.

Influenza (the flu) is caused by a virus and may need antiviral medications in severe cases.

Thyme may help alleviate symptoms, but it’s not a substitute for medical treatment.

It is not a cure for respiratory infections, though it can complement other treatments.

🌿 How to Use Thyme for Respiratory Support:
Thyme Tea: Steep 1 tsp dried thyme (or a few fresh sprigs) in hot water for 10 minutes. Add honey and lemon for extra soothing benefits.

Thyme Syrups: Used traditionally for cough relief.

Steam Inhalation: A few drops of thyme essential oil in hot water can help clear sinuses (do not ingest essential oils).

Supplement Form: Available in capsules or extracts — follow label instructions and consult a healthcare provider.

⚠️ Safety Notes:
Thyme is generally safe in food and tea amounts.

Thyme essential oil is very potent and should not be ingested or used undiluted on skin.

Always consult a doctor before using herbal remedies, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medications.
