Medicinal Uses: The leaves and flowers of Thyme are often used to aid in sluggish digestion and for its antiseptic properties. It can be gargled as a mouthwash to treat laryngitis, tonsillitis, and coughs. It can also be taken to treat asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough as it works as an expectorant to reduce unnecessary spasms. Externally it is used to treat wounds, burns, and sores.

Preparation and Dosage: The leaves and flowers should be collected between June and August on a dry day. Leaves can then be dried. Thyme can be taken internally as either an infusion or tincture. To make an infusion, pour a cup of boiling water onto 2 teaspoons of dried leaves and seep for 10 minutes. Drink or gargle with this solution up to three times a day. As a tincture, take 2-4 milliliters up to three times a day. Externally use a Thyme infused lotion on infected wounds or soak bandages in a Thyme infusion before applying to wound.
