Thyme is a member of the mint family and is a bushy, wood-based shrub with small yet highly fragranced, grayish green leaves followed by bands of pink or purple colored flowers in the early summers; it grows 15 – 30 cm tall and can be 40 cm wide. There are more than 350 different varieties of thyme all over the world, with French thyme or thymus vulgaris and lemon thyme being the most popular ones; further varieties are stated in the next chapters. Although there are a great many numbers of varieties, the general characteristics of each thyme are usually the same and it is only the color and dimensions that varies.In the medical community, the different species of thymes are distinguished by the composition of their essential oils. Thyme is incredibly versatile and blends seamlessly with almost all kinds of foods, especially in combination with basil, lemon and garlic.Generally, thyme enlightens and brings up the flavor of any dish. This is the reason as to why many of the Italian and French recipes incorporate thyme in their ingredient list. In addition to its culinary benefits, thyme is also used in aromatherapy. The essential oils of thyme are used in many traditional as well as clinical medicines due to their anti-viral, anti-septic, anti-parasitic, anti-rheumatic and anti-fungal properties. To delve a little deeper, thyme is a very strong detoxifying agent making it an ingredient in many of the detox food items. The herb is an excellent immunity booster, encourages white blood formation and resistance to harmful organisms. Thyme is also very effective against infections, digestive and respiratory to highlight a few. It can be taken as a cure to diarrhea and infections in the vagina (including thrush) & fallopian tubes. Its power as an anti-septic can be understood from the fact that as less as 1% thyme oil can be used to make a solution to treat gum and mouth infections. In addition, thyme is also a used as relaxant due to its soothing effect on the bronchi muscles; it helps to relieve recurring cough, asthma, dry coughs, laryngitis and bronchitis. Last but not the least, thyme being a digestive herb enhances appetite, digestion and stimulation of the liver. This is the extent of the medical properties the introduction will go to; detailed accounts on the medicinal properties of thyme will be given in subsequent sections. Thyme is considered native to Asia and southern Europe, i.e. Mediterranean basin; it has also been cultivated in Northern America and is known to thrive there as well. According to the Georgetown University Medical Center, the prevalence of thyme as a medically viable herb can be traced as back as 460 BC when Hippocrates, also known as the father of Western Medicine recognized it and documented its benefits in his work, Hippocratic Corpus. This is why most of the civilizations on the banks of the Mediterranean were prosperous and long-lasting. Some of these include: The Ancient Egyptians had found use of it and were mummifying the corpses of their pharaohs with it. The Ancient Greeks used it to burn incense in their temples and in their baths; they believed of it as a source of courage. Romans used it to purify their rooms and to give aromatic flavoring to alcoholic beverage and cheese.

This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbal medicine has been around for thousands of years, though today it is gaining increasing popularity. Many people are turning towards herbal remedies because they are much less expensive than traditional medicine, and they don't have side effects. However, just like traditional medicines, herbal remedies will also have an impact on your body and are potentially dangerous if not taken correctly. They must, therefore, be used in accordance with the rules and advice of a professional medical practitioner and with the same regards as traditional medicines. If you are planning to go on medication, then you should know the common side effects of some of the drugs found on the shelves. One of the most common is that it can affect your blood pressure, so if you suffer from hypertension, you should avoid herbal medicine. Another drug, called warfarin, can cause a heart attack in people with high blood pressure. There are many other drugs that are commonly used in herbal medicine, such as dandelion, milk thistle, fennel, and catnip, and are all known to help with a wide range of ailments. However, what many herbal medicines won't do is prevent or treat a disease. This is because these herbs cannot break down or penetrate the walls of the blood vessels. Instead, they act as a stimulant, allowing the flow of 'toxins' through the blood system. Therefore, herbal medicine can often be helpful, but it should never be seen as a substitute for pharmaceutical medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacists of any herbal medications you are planning to take, especially if you are currently taking pharmaceutical medications or have heart disease or other health conditions. In addition, even though some herbs can act like pharmaceutical medications, others may not have the same effect. Some herbal medicines act like antibiotics or steroids, while others have none at all. Additionally, some contain large amounts of active ingredients, while others only have small amounts. If an herbal medicine only has a small amount of active ingredient, it may not be effective. Most herbs sold as herbal medicine have one or two active ingredients; aspirin is the most common. However, salicylic acid, which is commonly found in aspirin, can also be found in tea tree oil and ginger. These herbs may be useful for some conditions, but they are unlikely to prevent or treat any disease. They are unlikely to improve your heart condition or even help you sleep.
