Thyme has been used in treating colds, coughs and sore throats, and here again the old wives knew what they were about, for thyme is an excellent pulmonary disinfectant, useful for all respiratory infections, as well as being very effective against mouth and throat infections. It can be used as an inhalation for nose, throat and chest infections, or as a mouthwash or gargle. Thyme stimulates the circulation generally, and raises low blood pressure. It is particularly good for people who are fatigued, depressed or lethargic. Thyme helps to revive and strengthen both body and mind and it is reputed, like rosemary, to stimulate the brain and improve memory.
