Its regular use reduces viral load in the body, making it an excellent treatment for lupus, tinnitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, vertigo, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and rheumatoid arthritis. To alleviate these health problems, simply drink a cup of thyme tea every morning.
Thyme is rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, and calcium, which are extremely beneficial for normal red blood cell formation, blood pressure regulation, and antioxidant distribution throughout the body. It is also rich in folic acid and B vitamins, A, and C.
It also contains various bioflavonoids and essential oils, including thymol, an essential oil with strong antioxidant properties.
Moreover, thanks to its rich content of terpenoids, such as rosmarinic and ursolic acid, it exhibits powerful anticancer properties. Studies have shown that regular consumption of thyme increases the amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid) in the cell membranes of the kidneys, brain, and heart.
Thyme essential oil has strong expectorant and bronchodilator properties, which is why it is perfect for treating and preventing the following diseases:
- gingivitis
